For the past few weeks we've been experimenting with a new gallery software called SmugMug, its a nice piece of software and allows photo tagging, comments, descriptions and embedding. You may have seen us embedding daily galleries for the B-Euros a few weeks ago.
The 'main' page is neobuggy.smugmug.com - from there you can navigate as you wish; not all our photos are there, but most of 2009 are, and the Euros & Worlds from 2008. A really cool feature is the photo tagging; allowing us to 'tag' a photo in which a person or car features. See all the tags here: Keywords

Here are some examples of tag albums: RC Ladies, Atsushi Hara, Yannick Aigoin, Jared Tebo
Some direct links to albums: 2009 races, 09' Dirt Nitro Challenge, 08' Worlds, 08' Euros
Hope you like it!!

Reedy is proud to announce the release of three all-new carburetor restrictors for the 121VR series engine. These new restrictors are available in 5.0mm, 5.5mm, and 6.0mm and serve as a useful fine tuning option for serious nitro racers. Smaller restrictors help increase fuel mileage, which translates into longer run times between pit stops. Reducing the number of pit stops over the course of a main event could mean the difference between winning and finishing off the podium! They are also an effective way to reduce power output and improve drivability on low-grip or blown-out track surfaces. Each restrictor is sold individually and features laser etching of the restrictor’s size for easy identification. RC10.com
