Awesome - gotta love the writing style "freshness" as it shows all these top-guys as a bunch of lads toying around with remotecontrolled toys
thanks for sharing!

Killer post! I was gathering parts for a Rory Cull replica (car pic you have) because of another scan and the red chassis, but finding Nosram electronics here is impossible

Thanks for posting these up, shame no colour pics as these would have been good for vintage paint schemes
If in doubt go flat out!

Was it a Nosram ESC you were struggling to find, the yellow ones? I originally used Nosram electrics back when i raced my Cougar in 1990, i used to get the piss taken my my racing mates because they were "girly" bright yellowCharlie don't surf wrote:Killer post!

Re: Interviews with top 5 UK drivers from 1991
I think so, it would be the ESC that is in the pics of Rory's RC10- not nearly enough info on that brand of electronics that I can find yet
Re: Interviews with top 5 UK drivers from 1991
Yeah there's little info out there on the earlier Nosrams that i could see either.Charlie don't surf wrote:I think so, it would be the ESC that is in the pics of Rory's RC10- not nearly enough info on that brand of electronics that I can find yet
Here's a pic of a Nosram Patriot F1 i have. Back in the day i also used a Nosram Tomohawk which was quite a basic relay style ESC.
It's hard to tell from the pic if this is similar to what he used, but if you want i can hunt out some race reports from that era to see if there's a tech chart that lists exactly what electrics he used.

Re: Interviews with top 5 UK drivers from 1991
Really interesting interviews. Thanks Paul!
I remember the 1985 Euros where Jamie was the driver to beat with his RC10 2WD, against hordes of 4WD. That time there was just offroad class, not divided into 2WD and 4WD.
Also Craig Dresher, I have meet him at soo much international onroad races. I really miss him today as he just does offroad sometimes.

I think it's something to do with photobucket's "improvements"scr8p wrote:i'm trying to save the first 2 images in this thread, but when i do it, the images become compress. what is causes that?
If it's any help, i can re-do them in an even higher resolution and email them to you?

Racing a Tamiya Manta Ray I think that shows how talented the guy must have been!

To be fair his Manta Ray's were the TRF of their day and eventually you could buy something close as the Top Force - RW did a chassis conversion for the Ray and I loved mine, found it more forgiving than the ProCatkink wrote:Racing a Tamiya Manta Ray I think that shows how talented the guy must have been!
BTW awesome articles - thank you!
Funny how Craig has ended up at CML so he did end up working in the industry in the end!
