The top 2 boys at the Juniors this year Matt were both XRAY ( err that's XRAY, not Schumacher or Photon ;D ;D) and I am pretty sure they were XRAY team drivers. One was Luke Thompson but the other name eludes me. They were fast with a big F, and to his credit a certain Schumacher driver named Dan was not much slower at all.

Priority of choice of car for me would be 1 Spares availability 2 User friendly ( ease of set up) 3 Robustness (excessive wear and brakage issues) 4 Easy to work on 5 Who at my local club can I get help from (for the new driver) 6 Bling....this can sway some to the Dark side (first choice) ;D For the new driver..be weary of newly released chassis,they have teething problems "they all do" and may need exspensive "hop up/mod" parts in the near future. Not much to argue with there Les. Just might have the superior go faster orange wheels ready for Sunday ;D

If you are running a T1 Mike, any of those 3 listed cars will blow your pants off ;D

Yep, T2 009, over £100 cheaper than the T3! I had a quick look on racechat, and the largest forum specifically about the car and how good/bad it is, is with the photon. Are thereany other forums that have been set up since? Racechat is the main one I know of...... The photon forum has nothing but praise on it btw, and the spool seems to be coming with the steel outdrives as standard now? XRAY drivers tend to hang out on the XRAY forum Mike which is why the traffic on Racechat is fairly low. The forum is moderated by team drivers from around the World, who normally chip in to answer questions on setup etc

Do Xray have a "young gun" in the UK now? Both Glenn and Jay are with Xray, but who else is in the xray team? anyone know? xray have luke thompson , ayrton andersson , ryan edwards , charlie ware and now kieran "senna" clift . there are others but these are all doing brca nats Ayrton will not be an Xray driver come the end of the year. Not sure what he will be driving next year but rumors suggest Tamiya

And too add, Luke Thompson has jumped to Schumacher... Xray team is looking very thin on the ground next year, barring the Westies

Is that due to T3 or RCDisco Ed?

Kieran Clift.... who is the current BRCA under 14 champion.. at the time of the Juniors was driving what chassis?? Schumacher...... Still from what I gather from Mike, he's gone all red or dead about it so we can stop this arguing over which platform is the best now can't we?

It's true Les. Despite all our car wars, most cars are as good as each other really, and it's all down to the setup and driving.
So buy whichever one tickles your fancy!
