IFMAR off road worlds
 

So who has been watching any of the racing on LiveRC of the 1/8 off road worlds .

Apart from the first three days with the rain problems , today seems to be getting alot better .
I'm currently watching ( it's 11.30 pm over here ) on LiveRC but have to get some sleep for work in 6 hours .

I realy like the track with the changes in surface and different obstacles , wish they would build a track like that down here but we follow US trends and our tracks are supercross style / blue groove.

I haven't watched any video but I have seen pictures of the track. I really like it too. I am not really a fan of the huge jumps we have for 8th scale over here.

Im loving the thin tires there running/were running

GO Team HotBodies!!!!!!!

lol and the way to wash off their buggies

I bought the special subscription to the video feed and it's amazing. Worth every penny. SO cool to watch the best in the world deal with that crazy mud track! And now the drive-line is hard and slick. Gotta be versatile. They are amazing to watch. The word that comes to mind watching them is relentless. They never let up. When racing is on, it's all the way, all the time.

Anyone got a link to the races?

Back to the wide tires today since the track has dried out .

The narrow tires were used in the mud and they cut and chopped them through the centre to get them that narrow , similar to what we have been doing in rc crawling.

WOW!!!4 hotbodies on the a main!

hara/D8 hotbodies wins it!!!

No, I didn't really mind who won aslong as HB or AE weren't the winning buggy

HB's RULES!!!!!

That right there proves, the price of every other buggy out there is stupid, and there is no reason to buy a 900 dollar K car, or really anything else!

Hara RULES!

i wouldnt take it that far, the D8 is a great buggy, and i agree that all the other buggies are over priced, but come on Hara is just an amazing driver he could win under any brand.

Exactly, drive makes the car. So why does a more expensive car make you faster? If you suck, then buying a expensive car wont change that. Im not saying thats anyone here, just in general...

they are ready have their site updated, i would too if i was them thats big news.

i agree if i were to by a new buggy itd be an 808 or the D8 because they are simple, they do what they need too do and are mostly plastic (which is lighter and more flexible, easier driving)

anyone else notice how LIMITED the D8 is for adjustments? there are no ackerman options, very shock mounts, i think only two camber options front and rear i might be mistaken tho but i remember it being extremely simple.
