Pops,
Seems like you and Rick could never get the MO5 to work. I think you should give it to me for some TLC and I am sure it will work.
Not sure where you went wrong, however for some a new chassis doesn't seem to gel with the way they drive.
Must agree on the tyre situation though. The off road mini tyres should be only for off road. The rubber on road mini tyres would give the parity back to the class.
However car setup and tyre selection will never make a slow driver fast.
My two cents worth. Hope to catch up with some of you at a racing venue elsewhere. I will still represent the ACT Club next year.
Later,
Calvin.
