Cheers

Brilliant footage - very addictive veiwing! The LXTs look so much fun & easy to drive on the dirt, but the Holiday Buggy & Ultima's both look really capable too!

Edited to add - I assume the camera is hand-held? - would be cool to mount it on a suspended wire/track to get silky smooth footage (although the camera man did very well)

More, More, More.... That was great footage. Can we see more of the ULtima/s? They look awsome out on the track... Guess I really need to use some of my Ultima parts stash to build an orginal caged and narrow framed one. Hard part is getting a cage.

Thats some great footage! Looks like fun

Very nice -the opening sequence with the Ultima at 0:40 is KILLER

What's that body on the black and blue LXT??? Looks cool!

ALL vintage footage needs to be shot like this

GREAT video!! didnt anyone notice that holliday buggy rocking it out with those LX-T's. who know that buggy could run like that.

Awesome!

X2 on that body. I need one.

The holiday buggy looks awesome flying around the track.

DT02 isn't a bad platform actually... all it needs is a slipper clutch option to be a more than decent entry-level competition 2wd car

Those LXT's understeer like if there was no tomorrow though

I think it's an Andy's Low Profile LX-T with some of the rear removed.

I think LTO-Dave is right.

Spoke to the owner and he doesn't know. It came with it. The Trucks are all set up to understeer as the track is so loose. Some times I play to add a little more steering but as the day goes on the track gets looser .

The Holiday Buggy is our spec class. For just over $200 for the the car set up as you see it.

Holiday Buggy,
Ball bearing kit,
Oil shocks all round,
13T EZ Run combo.

We run Losi step pins but that adds another $20.

We normally have around 5 of them. We all are getting into Frogs now LOL.

Here, here! Brilliant footage!
Luv the Holiday Buggy driver smokin' a cigarette! (opening scene)

Nice spec idea- Nice vid too! That Ultima didn't look bad

I miss tracks where you can slide/roost through the corners, darn indoor hard as concrete clay tracks of today
