nobody's watching, no inspection, the only thing they're looking out for are the batteries.... still, its a great finish for you given the race circumstances...

geared up for the PRO Tour '09?

good to hear some regular races coming up. what is the race format (soft-speed/speed-tech/super-tech)? still all tamiya or can use other brands?

bernier: Thanks for the picture updates bro!


The setup is huge!!! Must be lots of fun watching the cars running thru such a huge track.

Me too, looking forward to the PRO Tour '09!

Currently most places putting up speed-tech tracks as races as far as I can see.. I presume thats because this will allow newer racers to play to.. If the tracks too difficult, the experieced racers will win it all and leave nothing to others?? All Tamiya parts as usual, old school chassis are welcome..

My few friends and I are all looking forward to the Pro Tour this year too..

Been to your friends shop today, had fun there. I really hope that the layout will be more hi-speed(jap-layout) than technical (the old skool layout). it will be great if the shop can have pre pro tour 09 competitions, which limits to the use of pro chassis only..not only to get familiar with it also to promote the chassis. Really hope everyone pushes the limit of MS Pro.

Example of jap similar layout in HK

Good idea there, limitation of only Pro chassis.. However, not many people like the new chassis thats why most races we see now open to all kinds of chassis instead..

As for my friend shop at Tampines, the track he put up for his race the previous time was rather speedy type of track.. Perhaps this week I will post pictures of the race this sunday..

might be joining the race on this coming sunday thought..yeah its true that alot pple do not like pro chassis but i think is because they did not try to adapt to it mah hahaha...pro tour coming so in e end also have to use pro only...
