It looks as if there is no coincidence that I flap a lot about Top Gear bits despite my intentions of keeping 3hobby.net purely RC on-road nitro racing focussed website. Well, Top Gear just got voted as the Greatest Show of the Noughts (decade) and many congratulations to the mad thrio petrolheads!
What is amazing is that, I happen to start nitro racing some time in the year 2000, so it is ironic that it is a decade about cars.

Well I have never done this on this site, but here it goes. I arrived today to the Open Race and the track was looking really good. Kevin had made some new changes to make the track more appelaing to the eye, as well as making it easier to get onto the back straight.
I ran 2 tanks in sedan to just run in a motor and then played with the 1/8 scale. I got the chassis pretty good and finally got the clutch in the ball park. I am still working on the 2speed, as it is not being consistent. Well tonight I am taking it easy, as it is supposed to main tomorrow. I figure I will have plenty of time to work on the cars in the morning.
Hopefully it does not rain, as the track was great and had very little tire wear. I ran a set of Twisters all day and they are still good for a qualifier. I will try to update tomorrow.
Later,
DJ Apolaro

Most of you that read my ramblings on the 3Hobby site will know I'm a big fan of Serpent's 733. I've only run it a few times unfortunately as my time is limited, but when I do, it brings a big smile to my face. As winter stops me from running outdoors I found some time to share a few building tips with you. The car goes together very well so no biggies there but the following tips may be helpfull.

Why do they like the 911 then? Well, its because they then know what number to call when they crash! Pretty good Jeremy LOL!
I loved this short video. Its an old top Gear one titled "Clarkson vs 911" from a previous series where Jeremy talks, tests and compares the 911 series - a Porche series enough to confuse even the most stubborn of Kyosho fans who can tell you the difference between the V-One-R, RR, RRR, Evo etc etc etc.

Famous for his outspoken opinions on all things car-related Jeremy Clarkson's choice of car is scrutinised more than most.
After all, a man of his position could probably drive anything he wanted. So what's he actually laid down his own money on?
