M1B Ben Darley Interviewed by Rubedude RC!
Thanks to Rubedude RC, we are able to get this exclusive RDRC Interview with Ben Darley and the M1.
what some Ben Darley(BD) said about the M1B, I quote:
BD: The first thing I noticed with the M1 was how much steering the car had, out of the box it was insane. The other really noticeable characteristic of the car was how well it jumped. I have basically been racing a Mugen or Mugen based buggy for the past 18 months to 2 years and the difference between these cars is incredible

Dude: I’m quite interested in the shock design of this buggy. Big bore shocks and a different location angle are fascinating. What are your thoughts on these?
BD: To be honest at first I was a touch concerned that the offset cap may pose some problems, but to their credit it works unbelievably well. The shocks are a 4mm shaft so durability shouldn’t be an issue. After testing the car I disassembled the shocks and found that after a good couple of hours of testing, the shock oil was still as clean as when I first built them, which is also a pleasing quality of the car.
