Hey if there was ever a war there you could bring your R/C's!

Way to go Mugen!!!!! Thanks for the update Flyin! I'm certain YOU will be all over this topic! In the meantime, I keep telling myself, NOT NOW NOT NOW! I just got my mortgage approved and need to find a house and furnish it! Maybe for Christmas I can get one :bling:

Thanks again for the update!

Sweet! It's nice to see the MBX-5 turn up the heat on the Kyoshos.

Whew!! I can't see that far, that is one huge track and that's great Mugen got the title with the new X-5!

Man don't know how much longer I can take it. I want a x5 sooo bad. And the more things like this I see the more I jones. I've got the nice blue headed P5 to stick in it now. I see a Mugen in my not so distant future....Now just gotta figure how to keep the wife from figuring it out. I'll just paint the body to look like the one on my Hyper and beat it up alittle...yeah thats the ticket

i guess this reaffirms what we already know: the mbx5 is the poop.

can you imagine running on that track? You'd want to gear for speed and make sure you keep your temps down. it such a long course. How many laps do you think you'd make on that in 5 minutes? Like 4 or 5 if you're real good? they must still only go for 5 minutes right? 10 minutes and people would start running out of fuel.

Man - i got to get some pictures of my local buggy track. It is even bigger than that one, and alot nicer. all imported georgia clay, air conditioned 13ft drivers stand, and fresh green sod in between the track sections.

 

[RobH]

you were telling us about that. would be a sweet place to hold next year's bash. :thumbup:

 

[coloradoNitro]

The crazy thing about that track is the price of land in Japan. Because of being so populated and small, I've heard land prices are astronomical. Supposedly makes anywhere in the US seem cheap. I know they're golf freaks, but not very many courses for the same reason. Now that I look at the pict again I notice ski lifts! What the ??? I think I'll head upto Vail or WinterPark and fire it up:devil:

 

[uDi_MP7.5]

the X5 had to hit the podium soon enough.... I'm thinking the regular winner of the IFMAR worlds every year might not have it so easy this time.... I've got a feeling the tables might even turn... lol

NA - airconditioned drivers stand!! omfg..... man.... that must be niiiiccce!

i only feel that way because here it has just switched from cold mode to hot mode (i think they call it summer...) and its incredibly hot... and we are still supposedly in spring. ahh thank god for aircon.

 

[Nitroaddict]

pretty crazy, eh UDi ?

okay - i PROMISE to take pics of the track this weekend and have them posted by monday the latest

 

[Walkman2003]

thats a very nice track....
