Hey Guys

Here is the video from the our first Figure 8 race. This was one of the most fun r/c races I have ever raced in.

As you will see these cars are pretty durable. The most damage over the entire day was a couple of bent axles and a couple of broken body mounts. I don't think any other car would hold up to the hits that they took.

I don't think any other 1/18 mfg can honestly say that their car would hold up to that kind of abuse over and over, again and again for ten minutes!

That figure 8 race was awesome.
I could have told you how tough the BRP car was ten years ago. Both of my boys learned how to drive with a BRP car. I owned one of the first cars that Bud produced with no suspension. I think the only hop-up for it at that time was the ball differential!
I remember when the suspension upgrade first hit the shelves- man what a difference!

Here's to the history of the BRP, as always, a top notch product. Others may have the glitz, but we have the FUN- Simply Fun!

LOL:freak::freak:

Boy howdy was that video worth the wait! Did anybody think to issue the turn marshalls safety equipment, like a catchers mit, facemask or leggings?

The BRP cars were flying on the track & OFF!

There were several crashes that I was sure would end the day for several racers but no and they raced on!:woohoo::woohoo:

Who won?
