[@poorboysrc]

Awesome to see you back again, Ian. I love the paint job and of course, your filming location is the best. Good luck out there, pal!

[@rctamiyaaddict4687]

Thank you Fil. Good luck with all the admin, looks like a big one this year.

[@AlToneTech]

Thanks for taking time to show the stock speed. Beautiful paint job as well!

[@rctamiyaaddict4687]

No problem 👍 and thank you

[@MarkBryanRC]

Great start, Ian! Funnily enough exactly the same speed I got when mine was stock. It can only get faster! Go well! :)

[@rctamiyaaddict4687]

Thank you Mark. Good luck on your runs sir.

[@rc_michi]

Nice spot there! A solid result to build on 😊👍

[@rctamiyaaddict4687]

Thanks 👍

[@Paul__FC]

Love the colors, looks great. I'm really surprised to see the wobbling in these kits. Mine goes straight as an arrow. Love the skate park bit. Good luck!!!!!!!

[@rctamiyaaddict4687]

Thank you. Couldn’t resist a little jump.

[@rcprescription]

Awesome start! Love your run spot! Good luck!🤜🤛

[@rctamiyaaddict4687]

Thank you

[@Acheronus80]

Might be popping down to your dragstrip in early/mid September, see if your seafront is better than my little service road... #foundya

[@rctamiyaaddict4687]

I have found a car park at the uni that is empty all summer 😉

[@coygtrc]

Nice start 👍 Yeah careful with the steering, it's very nippy. You'll start sweating when reaching higher speed 🚀😁🤝

[@rctamiyaaddict4687]

Not sure I’ll get to too higher speed though lol

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hey nice run. I think that really this is the speed this car wants to go and anything above this is just asking for trouble! I'm already fed up with mending mine and thinking I need to put it back to brushed. Good luck in the contest 😁

[@rctamiyaaddict4687]

Yeah this car ain’t built for speed or being stripped for upgrades. Good luck Pete.

[@RCBirds]

Nice first run and a good base to start. May I recomment a gyro? This shouls straighten the run.

[@rctamiyaaddict4687]

Thanks for the tip!

[@rivierarc]

Good first run, seems to be the benchmark for the standard speed. Yet to run mine as still waiting for a couple bits

[@rctamiyaaddict4687]

I have one or two things to do to increase the speed but think I’ll be rooted at the bottom. Don’t want to throw everything at just for one run.

[@rivierarc]

@@rctamiyaaddict4687 yeah. Thats true. As for Dirks comment regarding a gyro, apparently thats the way to go and helps quite a bit. My difficulty will be finding somewhere open enough with no traffic or kerbs to destroy the car with 🤣

[@rctamiyaaddict4687]

Lucky I have a seafront outside my house but have to go early morning before it gets busy.

[@TonyGardnerRC]

Nice work, a good solid 14mph start! The only way is up, and possibly sideways :)

[@rctamiyaaddict4687]

That's the plan! Not sideways though lol

[@UncleBobsRC]

I never thought an RC car would help pick up chicks, I'm married so that's out the door for me anyway, then again, around here you get looked at like your special or something driving an RC vehicle...... Great job mate!!!!

[@rctamiyaaddict4687]

Thank you.
