hi thomas,

for the moment, we plan to conduct the clinics on saturday late morning - noon time. we would like to make it more hands on so usually, we will have a theory session to explain and then, it's practical so it would be easy to understand and remember.

hope you could make it one weekend.

Cool Buggy Buddies Program 2 - Driving Techniques

Dear Buggy Buddies,

in view of cheng beng this weekend, we will postpone our second clinic as follows:

Clinic details :
Venue : RCC Glenmarie
Date : 9th April, 2011
Time : 1200 noon

Second clinic will cover driving techniques for 1/8 off road nitro buggy :

1) basic driving techniques - throttle, brake, steering : sifu kelvin ngow
2) advance driving techniques - jump & flight control : sifu david lim
3) race driving techniques - how to handle traffic and get ahead : sifu alvin lam

kelvin ngow has been in the rc hobby for over 20 years and has vast experience in on road and off road racing. he will be a wonderful guide to explain the basic driving skills and techniques in getting around the track consistently so you can build a solid base to improve on.

david lim is our former 2 times national champion for 1/8 off road road nitro buggy and is currently in top form, winning MNL2 in taiping and thunder tiger cup in johor. he is currently in 1st place for MNL standings. with vast international experience, david's aggresive driving style and incredible air control will open our eyes to honing our skills to another level

alvin lam is a veteran in 1/8 off road nitro buggy. with his experience and skills, he usually qualifies very well or TQ and for most races, will lead the pack when the race begins. hopefully with his guidance, you will be able to do the same in your respective finals.

look forward to another productive and fun weekend on the 9th April, 2011
