R.I.P. Nick Adams

I am almost embarrassed to say I never knew of Nick's contributions to RC over the years but growing up U.S. based and pre-Internet I had never heard of him.
When I returned to RC years later, I discovered his YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbiW6uX8MLmxYHaNucInSqQ/videos and really enjoyed his content around motors, batteries, and testing. His content on vintage audio repairs was always an added bonus. His personality and soft spoken nature seemed to me to be someone who was worth knowing and being around.
Doing a little research it looks like he was heavily involved in the UK on-road racing scene, especially motors under the Demon Power label. It also looks like he participated pretty heavily in Battlebots, which is pretty awesome.
I know dinglem has a few threads on here with Demon Power stuff I need to read through, but if anyone has additional info they want to share about Nick or his contributions please share. Make sure to check out that YouTube channel if you haven't, there is some good stuff on there.
