EXTREME SLOTTING RALLY-RAID ROUND 6  -  THE SEND SCRAMBLE 

CLASS R4  -  OPEN VEHICLES 

The Class with the smallest number of entries,  but the biggest disparagy across times and success rate!

Dominated by the two Mitoos chassis vehicles.  These are seriously clever, and expensive,  bits of Slot kit.  They feel like they could tackle anything you could throw at them,  and I tried!     Very fast, they effortlessly dealt with the Ninco obstacles, but the added weight slowed them down on the climb, and the hairpin bend. 
  RoadRunners Odyssey bodied example taking the win by 7 seconds.  Absolutely spot on.  The AA patrol van of A A Recovery taking 2nd.  You convince yourself that it won't handle,  and will tip over, but no, it goes, and some!  The body is super lightweight,  and it looks superb belting around, with roof light flashing away.   Brilliant...
A long way back in 3rd was Savage GT's Mitsubishi.  It felt a bit all or nothing motor/ power wise?  It also managed to roll at the top of the steep incline right hander, onto the Ladder of Doom.  Luckily the barriers did there job, but it had me worried 

The amazing little Citroen 2CV wide bodied Scratchbuilt entry of Qman was "given" 4th place.   It never actually completed a full lap as it simply refused to even contemplate section 5 of the obstacles,  and had to be carried across each time.  A bit more ground clearance,  and a  longer drop arm might be required.  On the rest of the course it flew!    Definitely quickest up the steep incline, it coped with the Ninco off road track,  and even cleared some of boulders and bumps.
Good to see Oxo Cube's Datsun Pick up back for another go.  It really does look good
Performance wise, it didn't want to play......  After 10 minutes of trying it was given a DNF.   It sort of got to 4 laps, with so much help, but it just kept stopping,  everywhere.   The front of the guide doesn't appear to be properly in the slot, so the braids loose contact,  and it says NO!
