I am looking for videos from any of the IFMAR Off-Road World Championships. If anyone has them please email me at [email protected]

I have a few videos (Thanks Kenooze), but it would be cool to have some more.

Thanks

Do you have any of the vintage or prototype sort? I'm sure I speak for all of the members here when I say that we'd love to see what you have in your collection or personal racers. :D

Yes please. Instantly recognized your name from all my years flipping through RCCA magazines.

Actually I have nothing left, but 95 B2 and 02 xxx. I have a XXXTMF somewhere, i think at my Dads house, but not sure. Guess I probably should build up a MF and MF2 truck at some point!

Sorry Matt, I don't have an answer to your question either. :(

But please don't let the lack of cars stop you. I may be in the minority here, but I would love to hear any stories you would like to tell. Personally the people I have been able to meet, both the famous and the club hacks, have always been a huge part of the hobby for me. Or perhaps just stories about part/car development, which is the normal focus here. Hey anything you would like to offer would be cool.

In any event, Cheers, and thanks for your time.

Matt,

http://www.raywoodrcvideos.com/site3/default.htm

They have a DVD of the 2001 Worlds in South Africa. They also sell his videos at Stormer Hobbies.

I have the original R/C Racing 91 and 95 videos in VHS sitting in a box. One has the 91 Worlds in Detroit and the other, the 95 Worlds in Japan.

If you ever get back in the hobby, Norcal Hobbies in Union City is the place to race in the Bay Area. Lots of old school racers are coming back just for fun.

Gene Hustings RC videos #20 has the 1991 IFMAR Off Road World Championship on the dvd. I haven't viewed it yet so don't know what's in it but it's in the index and it does contain video excerpts.

I do believe I have a VHS of the 1989 worlds St. Ives Austrailia somewhere. It was filmed by an older Japanese gent from team yokomo. I met him a few times but dont recall his name. Needless to say he had the camera on masami for the mostpart.
