This is my Traxxas TRX-1 .The body is from TBG and is painted in the box art colors. Wheels are 2.2 five spokes from JCracing.

Please may I present my Yokomo 93 WCS, my tribute to Masami Hirosaka & his 4wd World Championship win held here in the UK back in 1993.

It is rumoured that this car was one of the cars brought over for the event by Yokomo (poss as a spares car?) Making it a pre-production model of this rare buggy - some small details on this car would support this.

My Ultima Mike Burnette looking :

Sorry for my delay

I'll take Adam's spot if it's open. I went back thru, but my poor ol' alcohol soaked brain couldn't tell if there were any spots left open or not. The reason I choose to enter now whereas I wouldn't before is because I believe the spot is now haunted and will carry great power. Similar to building a house on top of an ancient burial sight. Much like Poltergeist which actually featured a classic hobby grade r/c and especially a nice Futaba early wheel radio which I'm certain will only add to my already paranormal momentum. So as you can clearly see I'm a lock for victory!

Joey has the last spot Ken.
