Default R/C vs Mini Cooper

Well I wasn't surprised the TC won the race what I was surprised about was how well this lady could drive and talk at the same time.

I think that was rigged. Of all the turns, she spun out at the last one.

yup.. pretty damn hard to spin out a FWD car

Side note.. you guys need to go test drive the 07 Cooper S (now has a turbo) .. i work @ the dealership and they are great cars.

Seen this before, but a good watch eitherway.



After that clip, it wouldn't surprise me if it was rigged.

It was a rigged race, no [sensible] pro driver would leave his car just sitting out in the middle of the track, especially if a 1/1 car was right on it's tail.

The broadcasting company obviously went and bought a new car for him, it probably wasn't even the one he'd normally run.

I would willing to bet that you had to change more than just the tires and batterys after that. Like Motor and probably a ESC!!!
