Back on this new forum, it may be interesting to put my videos here again.
The VHRC (Historical Radio Controled Vehicles) is a chalenge since 1/4 scale racing is no more "official" in France. 7 or 8 races this Year.
The last one was sunday, here is the vidéo at Montpellier track:

good video, although I could not help clicking on one of the videos off to the side. This is oddly one of the sexiest damn videos I have ever seen...

Yankee used to build it but no more available...
one year ago you can buy "Lauterbacher" one on .... lauterbacher.net but i have just seen it is so more available...
there is only the new mini available today by FG ( http://www.fg-modellsport-gmbh.de/)

Luc the driver of the mini is fast, but his son was european champion in 90's and is VERY fast with it's "vintage" 911

Bruno the actual owner of the Yankee brand is not slow...and he can drive prototype of 2010 1/4 scale car with actual motor tunned etc...
