Metal gear,
Sorry no time for the picture though. Too busy organising the track. Only got some.
Pandora,
All buggy are competitive, it actually depends who is driving it. Remember the Mp5 and 6 era, today cars is just a bit more tedious. More preparation needed
Chris, almost almost give their first win in JB in last month race. Competitive, yes. Just need to work harder on the cars. If Chris can do it, so can you.
One piece of advice, no shortcut on the diff. All cars today need high maintenance on the diff. Maybe due to the engines. Faster?? I don't know.
Tunability much higher than MP7.5 Steering fantastic. Jump, bumpy track and speed all no problems.
The only area to watch is the alloy block which hold the arms together. Better get M4 lock nut man.
Pandora, get your butt ready, the INdonesian are coming to town in August 2003. Eric Lim will be definitely here to defend his 2nd finish. We need more Malaysian drivers against them.

X man,
The Vision is a pretty good car. The handling is quite good box stock but there are a few things that needs to be worked on before it gets competitive. No car is perfect anyway. A good car allows you to feel the changes when you make them...the Vision does this. And its quite strong; it can take a lot of abuse.
When I first ran the car I did face some problems but now its been rectified. THe kit/spare parts are relatively cheaper than most brands out there....that's a good thing.
Take care.

i don't know, should be for 2 classes. Buggy and truck. Maybe even electrics too.
I would say off road would pick up in about 2 months time. Everybody is just sick of on road at the moment.
A lot of people been saying too much race and too high maintenance at the moment.

Futaba Cup should be on 30-31 August 2003. Venue, beside Plaza Angsana empty field. Hold there once before, the track is awesome. Very flat. very big. Good venue to me.
Sanwa Cup also heard on August. Could be before Futaba Cup. We are debating now whether it should hold so closely. I think they are working on it at a later date. Keep you posted

yes mate,
Sure we do. At the moment, we don't which to go. Maybe the Aquatha Cup or the Sanwa Cup. Basically, we will only choose one for time being. I think both races in October. No much holidays left.
Also another Futaba Cup in 30-31 August 2003. I wish to sent one invitation to the Australian RC Club, Drygalla families and Paul Wylie.
Do update us at a earlier date. I can't promise the Australia trip but I am sure a lot of people is interested. Especially with the World Rally Championship Buggy race. When was it again??

Hello.........
Hello Danny,
Hi! I'm also a racer here in Sydney.
I think you Malaysian also should come and join our race here in Australia.
The last Australian Championship in Melbourne on March 2003, I met 2 Indonesian, Teesin and Rudi and 1 Singaporean, Yung.
It would be great if there is some Malaysian also racing here.
A few of us also very interested in going to Indonesia for a race sometimes in December as we will be invited by Teesin and rudi.
I believe you should be there too, as Malaysia is a neighbour to Indonesia.
May be we can meet there.....
Please also keep us informed for races in Malaysia and Singapore, as we also will be delighted to race in your country

Know Tesin personally.
Believe Indonesian are the good in hospitality. Do go there if you wants a good time. What I meant is a really blady good time.
I will definitely be there. Don't worry. Been there to race a couple of times a year.
Australia is definitely in our mind now. I and my group is making plans to go there.
I like to sent a invitation to the Australian RC Club and Drygalla family. Got any email I can have??
