Besty and Bormac's vintage buggy run.
Posted: Sat Oct 16, 2010 3:37 am
It's been a while since we've been track side so we figured it was due time for a run and with Besty's son Dylan recently receiving his first 'real' r/c car for his birthday it was high time we gave him some time away from back yard bashing and a chance to put a few laps on his new ride.
Matt (Chris's good mate) also joined us and we had all pre-arranged to bring a Tamiya FROG to run for a few laughs.
The venue was Castle Hill/Sydney and the weather was nice enough for a few hours of running. I managed to snap a few pics along the way so you'll see below.
Dylan managed a good run with his revamped Baja Champ sporting a 13T brushless Hobby Wing unit, Spektrum radio and Lipo batteries. Possibly a little too fast for him but guaranteed to put a smile on the face of the little man . Sadly the drive ended with a loud bang as the Baja Cjamp came hurtling down the straight and into a fence. A cracked main chassis put the brakes on his ride but Im sure with a few parts he'll be up and going again.
The Frog's were fun. Not a real lot of speed from a silver can motor but they all managed to get around over a few laughs.
It was good to have a run again. Thanks for reading.
