So after the race Saturday, nick wanted in. He's a great driver, but never really got into building. For his first build it came out pretty nice!

We put the car together and tested yesterday. 4.8s at slots a lot with a practice motor and the wrong tires. Plus the track hasn't been cleaned since the race... It's black lol.
All in all he is very happy, and we will see you at see zone!

I did a few laps with this car. It was on rails. Very easy to drive.
Nick is now a builder as well as a driver.
A double threat.

The only thing bad about Retro is admitting that you remember doing it originally.
