My name is Mark Payne. I am part of the Awesomatix A12 UK Team. I have been racing 12th Scale cars since their inception in 1978. At age 59, I am slowly getting slower (!) but some of my pace has been returned by the fantastic Awesomatix A12!
Please leave comments saying what you found helpful or indeed what was a waste of your time. I have some experience in making videos for YouTube but it takes an age to do them like this. This 30+ min video has around 4 man days invested in it for example.
Thanks to my team mates, in particular, James Stewart, Nigel Hale, Mark Stiles and Mark Jewitt for help and encouragement. Thanks to my sponsors Zen Racing and 6K Racing for continued commitment to 1/12th racing.
My old blog is still around http://markpayneblog.blogspot.com and has a bunch of 12th RC Car tips from when I started back in the early 2000's. I have raced with CRC, Corally, HPI, V-Dezign and Associated over the years.
