    Great vid... It was super hard track. I didn't know they moved the big double after P1 and I struggled the rest of the day with it!

    • @PopalongRC
      @PopalongRC  Год назад

      Yeah I cringed as I saw them moving it closer to the turn .. made it much harder to gauge and less room for error. Learnt a lot from it though as I was trying to turn on landing and car was digging in and flipping so took a while to learn that one.

    So how does the LD3 compare to your old car, looked good in the air. I could never get the hang of offroad ,gave up 2wd a few years ago after a disastrous regional at Broxtowe, loved the look on Eugene's face at the very beginning of the video 😂,enjoy your racing.

    • @PopalongRC
      @PopalongRC  Год назад +2

      So only driven the car in total for about 30mins but immediately noticed it is so much easier to drive than the TLR… probably need to do a day at Midlands raceway to get some track time to dial it in.

  • @scottblowers9592
    @scottblowers9592 Год назад +1

    Well done Carl 👍🏻. A good shakedown run for the new buggy. Did it feel much better than the Losi? I agree with you that after racing onroad, off-road buggy racing is a steep learning curve! Managed to get to dms the other night and had a great time but it is a lot harder than onroad!

    Racing incident or a bit of red mist . I don’t know . There really needs to be a rule In rc racing about touching other cars. There is nothing more frustrating than a pile up in the first bend especially when there is only one final.

    I see everyone wearing a vest and really don't see the practicality of them. When you Brits are racing, are you watching your car or the guys in the vest? Who is the vest for?.....the spectators or the driver? It looks like some unreasonable red tape someone thought of that forces drivers to spend money.

    • @PopalongRC
      @PopalongRC  Год назад

      It’s a stipulation of the BRCA, they have to be worn when marshalling, but most people leave them on, (to do with insurance apparently) however I do see your point.

    • @bluegroovemodelsports9650
      @bluegroovemodelsports9650 Год назад +1

      Good racing coverage. That Mark Buttle realy did some aggressive driving that tangled you two up then all and out drives through you at the end of the first round. That would have been hard not to call him out on....Great job. Carl....

    • @PopalongRC
      @PopalongRC  Год назад +1

      I don’t let those things bother me anymore… I focus on keeping it clean and avoid contact. Sometimes I drive defensive and make my car wide which invites a tap or 2.

    • @chowettgoes
      @chowettgoes Год назад +1

      With over 100 racers on the day and a lot of racing to squeeze in it needs to be organised and it ran like clockwork.
