Are many people out there running the BC at the Tiverton or Kiddie winter series' this year? (or any other off road)

I need some quality track time with the car but the more we have running the better we can refine it for next year.

(just hoping there's not a whole new buggy out for the Worlds this week. :- )

Yeah, you'll just about have the car sorted in time for the release of the MR4BC-SD! ;D

Exactly what i was thinking! Haven't seen anything yet though.

The new Lazer looks interesting though. When will you be getting those in Dom?

Depends if Ripmax import it.
They didn't import the Ultima. :(

Got any links to pics?

It's in the team orion World's live/results section.

I'm sure those front wishbones look like the ZX-R ones turned round???

Don't think they are going to release a new TT when the new MR4-BC Special has been released last week...

But as it is in their habit to release a new prototype for the worlds (as all masami's cars are prototypes), wait and see...

The BC-SP has been around for nearly a year and is nothing more than a parts-bin special!
I think there will be an SD buggy sooner rather than later!

Maybe sooner than Yokomo think ........

Looking for a cheap SD that I can work with!!!!

Chassis will have be changed though ... weight would be a bit too far forward from first inspections .... don't want it B4ing now do we!!!

Better to put the weight and length right in the chassis than have angled shafts and a roofs worth of lead strapped to the car!!

Should be light (my first 4wd under weight ever!!), we know there is nothing out there to match the BC suspension when it gets rough and with shaft drive and Devil cells I will probably only need to charge once a day!!!!!!

Back to the initial thread I will be running the BC at Tivvy over the winter, possibly on astro (kiddy??) as well.

Need to spend most of my time working on the 2wd over the winter. Partly the car, partly my 2wd driving style and partly the tyre costs!!!
