- Kyosho RB5 - Baumgartner - Clay Track - 14.10.2007 -

 

I went to a hundred entry race this weekend with several team drivers in attendance. Had some good results with the car qualifying third and took the win by winning the 1st and 3rd mains. My car was really good so I thought I’d pass along a set up for slicks on clay.
