You don't need them

I've just put the kit together with an ESC and soldered straight to the can and it runs very well at present.

Brilliant, thanks guys!! I just didn't want to blow it up before I at least had the chance to smash it up instead!!

Hiya,

just to let you know our first meeting is tonight, 9th October, at around 7.15ish until we kinda finish (probably about 9ish!).

Its just an informal gathering to check the location out and maybe have a bit of a play with the cars.

The Scout Hut on Carpenters Down, Basingstoke.

Cheers,

davey.

Here's the cambridge - anyone want to argue with it? :thumbsup:

Not me...

I will give it a go :p

Hey guys, that was spectacular! Can't wait until next week when we can share paint again!

Cheers,

d.

Hey all,

we're racing the mardave's again on Sunday 16th October, time to be confirmed - please check back at the weekend - but its likely to be 1730 - 1930, at the Scout Hut on Carpenters Down, Basingstoke.

We've got some interest in running Mini Stox and Hot Rods. If we have enough entries and time we'll be aiming to run classes for each of these as well as the bangers. Otherwise we'll do our best to combine classes a bit.

Mini Stox - we haven't established club rules yet - so for now we'll base running on the BRCA rules: http://www.brca.org/sites/default/fi...NRULES2011.pdf If you have any problems with these just let us know here.

For hotrods and bangers we're developing our rules based pretty closely around BRCA. Here's the rules we're working with so far:
http://www.basingstokerc.org.uk/page2.html

We're running similar rules and the same cars for both bangers and hotrods, just with contact allowed in bangers and non contact in hotrods.

So, if you've got pretty bodyshells and want to run hotrods - bring'em along!

Cheers for now, davey.

See you there can't wait :p

I'll be there.

Can't wait to run my car for the first time.

Hey guys,

we're starting as close to 5.30 as we can today. We've got lots of people saying they're coming along and maybe several classes so be as ready as you can be so we can play with our toys (sorry, race our tuned machines!!) as much as we can in our limited time!

See ya later,

Do you need people earlier to help set up at all?

Thanks very much for asking. Today we're trialling the track and timing system properly so a couple of us are going in early to set that lot up and test, so I think we've got it covered for today thanks.

But, it might be useful to have one or two extra sets of hands in future weeks - when we better know what we're doing!

See ya later,

d.

Another great night guys 4.12 sec and 54 laps to beat:p

Hey all, great night - thanks everyone!

Please could those of you with BRCA membership bring their membership numbers with them next time (or PM / email them to me) so I can update the database, thanks.

Cheers all,

d.

What a quality evenings entertainment!

Can't wait for next week.

By the way Davey, I think I may have some of your paint. Would you like it back?:lol:

Cheers Phil, that's kind of ya... but you keep it - your pretty little merc might need it for next week as a reminder of the colour of its enemy! teehee!
