Landy at Loburn

Post by **mike** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 10:46 am

Here is the LR in action at its first run in two years. The most it drove was 5m on the back lawn before this event. The final run was the mudhole which killed it by covering the aircleaners and engine in thick mud.

Definitly needs alot of work on the flex. Its got completely standard Disco suspension in there. The rear shocks have about 3mm travel :evil:

That is a quality piece of video

I really like the bit at the start when the jet that was flying over tried to drown out that stunning exhaust note :shock:

Really cool that it couldn't :twisted:
