Looks like saturday is going to see a real cracking race!! Look forward to reading a report about this one!!!!!!!!!

Amazing also how quite of few of the big names really didn't get it hooked-up until the last two sessions.

Thanks for the list!!!

The total number of cars from each manufacturer in the final/semi final is six for each, with the exception of Picco. Pretty even spread, with Kyosho performing best with 3 of their 6 in the final.

Strange how there seems to be very little info about this car on the Net - or am I looking in the wrong place? Even on the Kyosho website I can't find anything about this car - amazing they sold any

Chees, Mark.

The EVO is there............................

http://www.kyosho.co.jp/rc_model/21r...om_evo2-e.html

Kyosho support on their webiste is definately the worst of any manufacturer. Does not mean that their products are bad tho!

The car you see in Josh hands at the worlds appears to be a prototype....................

The Kyosho is a prototyp... Realy nice... uses Mugens steering system. shocks. rims and tank.. Lots of special made stuff...

You're right about the support!

It seems strange that Serpent didn't have a prototype at the WC, seeing as the 950R is only a few weeks away - maybe they are taking the conservative approach (apart from the front suspension parts) and not risking everything on a car that may not have been tested so well.

And what about the MRX3? The car has been around for a while now - is it still the same or have there also been updates to this model?

Cheers, Mark.

Just realized that sirio is very fast.

Good Luck Team Serpent! Finals is where it would be at.

Can anyone give some information about which car is CHRIS TOSSOLINI running ?

thanks !!
