Heavy Does Nitro

YouTube – Heavy Does Nitro.

Today Heavy D made his nitro off-road debut in the Truggy class at the brand new Latrobe Raceway – home of Tassie’s North-West R/C Car Club.  Heavy qualified a stellar 2nd place, and came home 5th after a fine drive in the finals.  Once he even got airborne!
Here’s a video from a qualifying heat showing Heavy at his nitro offroad finest.
Enjoy!

    Actually on reflection I really enjoyed that day a lot – thanks heaps Scott for making it happen.
    I did get more confident on the jumps later as well but never mastered the big one over the back but did clear it twice.
    All good – back to the tarmac.

    yeah that back jump can be tricky. if you get a bad run out of the corner you are unlikley to clear it.
    once i got it sused i ended up clearing 8 times out of 10.
