Ofcourse onroad 8th scale.

I will be driving a Mugen MRX4 with a lot of special made lightweight driveshafts.
As an engine maybe a new brand Dutch engine but if they are not ready by then it will be the JP FX21 Eagle R9.s. As tire we have a deal with Twister, as transmitter I have a Futaba T3VCS with a Spectrum-pro HRS system and the servo's are Thundertiger DS1015

It will be fun to drive, only the 30 hour trip will be exhausting.....

Cordoba Argentina? Just so happens- every vacation I'm here in Argentina because of family. I'm here right now. It's a great place, I'm in Distrito Federal ahorra- right now I mean. If you came to Argentina a week earlier, you would have seen the first snowfall here in over 80 years. It was truly amazing.

You DO mean in Argentina?

EDIT: Ah yea i see the "argentina" part now. Sorry, I'm not into the habit of reading bold text. =P Defeats the purpose, I know. xD

Cordoba Argentina !

Here the official site:
http://www.argentina2007wc.com.ar/

Regarding the snow, I am from Holland and that is in the winter a normal fenominon.
At this moment I am looking for a pitman to help me because the sponsor will come in later during the event. Tonight I hope to get an answer from a friend. So far I know we will stay at the Hollyday-in where we can cool down in a nice swimmingpool after a hard day driving

Is it really in October? I'm leaving the 15th of August. You haven't heard of any on-road tracks around have you? I've been trying to find someplace to drive my Micro but no luck so far.

And I am back again !!!!

The hand-out fuel was not a good idea, we (and also others) had some difficulties with tuning the engine, one moment to rich and on the other moment to lean and sometimes suddenly the engine stalls. It seems the fuel from the bottles were putted back again in some cans and maybe in this way the mixture was changed.

With no compleetly driven heat because the problems, rain and one loose tire I managed to place myself in the 1/32th final. That final went very good, only at the start I was pushed off and was almost a lap behind the nr.1
I managed myself up the the 2nd spot and so a go through to the 1/16th final where the engine troubbles came back again.....

I finished in a overall 66th spot but could have been at the best 50.

Reports and a lot of photo's can be found on www.rc-junkies.net.
