Sounds like more drinking than racing Heath, well done!!

[Heath M]

Thanks Andy that was with the 1515 2D motor AG gave me to try..all the other monos ran 1521 motors apart from Scott's 1515 1y
unfortunately i live too far away to have had drinks with the rest of of the guys staying near our lake, but that didn't stop me getting into it at home watching the rugby lol..
Both Scott and i run the same setup in the Whips and use 4s1p packs...

Hey Heath, it was a good day for us Queenslanders with our DF33s. SHame about that southerner and his Cyber Storm winning the class though.......lucky we beat them in the footy on Wednesday night

Andy, my Whiplash build is on the RRR forum, as Heath said, a 4S1P brick pack.

It was wild to see a heat of 6S riggers on our smaller 1/8 mile course too - glad I wasn't out there!

Hey, I was about to post them! Nice work mate.

Looking forward to some more photos from the other guys there - there were some good cameras there.

Congratulations to all. Thanks to you Heath and Scott for the posts and pictures you put here. It was very generous of Steven to put up some raffle prizes.
If it is on again next year I might come up and have a look but do no use that as an excuse to cancel it. (I do have a serious and sensible side)

[Scott T]

We welcome anyone Paddy, even guys from Tassie!

In that case, I'm going to stay on the outside of ya....anticipating the Seaducer "right hook"!

[Heath M]

Wouldn't Andy be in team Delta lol

[Jimmy Sterling]

Great weekend of racing by all, also congratualtions to Scotty and Heath for thier places in the classes that they ran. The mono ran fine all weekend but when I got home I pulled the hydro apart and the reciever still had water inside of it from the nearly fatal accident. So it must of run all the last 4 races plus the finals with water still in the reciever. LOL .

[Apples1]

sorry to run off topic guys,congrats on the weekend, you guys are all welcome at RMBC any time, on a side note i am having trouble finding a rigger hull in australia other than the evo 3 which is quite pricey, any ideas. either 4s or 6s

Thanks

[Heath M]

Jimmy congrats on your wins aswell champ,your dad had an ear to ear smile on his face when you were collecting those trophies :)
Lucky that receiver held out,i believe they are water resistant...

Apples
Paul Osmond makes the Taipan 4s and 6s rigger also Arron at ozspechobbies.com is working on a 4s rigger.
Both can be contacted through the AMPBA forum..
