RC 1/8 Rallycross

Remote control cars.. i used to have an electric RC car when i was... i dont know about 12ish i guess but i always hankered after getting a nitro powered one.

I have thought about getting one time after time but could never justify the cost as they are quite expensive to buy a kit and run, that and then the fact i have no where to really give it a good thrashing.

However after looking around various model websites i found that i only live 20 mins from a proper RallyCross track at Nelson which got me even more intrested, perhaps if i was going to race regularly i could justify buying a kit!

So today i took Max(my 5yr son) down to Pendle & District Model Car Club over at Nelson for the day to watch the racing.

After a watching a couple of races i was absolutely fascinated by these little machines, it was clear to see that these were no mear toys! but proper little race cars. Watching the qualifying heats it was easy to see the difference between a well setup car and how it handled the bumps and getting the power down, to a not so well setup car. This got me hooked there and then
