Just for Mat 14 March

yeah we made a 3d model of the features we would liketo have and were to put them,hope they can be done how we would like them,guess we will know more in a week or so.

:thumbsup:hi i need help on this truck hpi firestorm electric is it permited to race and is it any good ?

It is permitted to race but it won't be very good against our buggies. If you can get a buggy and then you have more of a chance in races and save the e-firestorm for bashing

Get yourself a B4 2nd hand. The spares are cheap! and you can get the cars for about £60-£80 spend a little on the electrics and you will have a decent car that will hold its money.

I started with a B4 and i found it great to drive! you would be fine it the 4.1 RTR they are just over £200.

Pearls of wisdom??? You must have had lots of buggys eh???

Well to be fair, I'm fairly new to this game also. And the B4 has been fine in my opinion.
i've had two of these now and i think they are a good car for the money.

Yes i'm sure there are much better cars. But as i remember from a previous post he's a young lad.
so i would assume he doesn't have an unlimited budget.

wow there nice just looked on ebay and in my budget i was also looking at the new kyosho buggy forgot name lol but these have lots of alu parts from england so i might get one and do it up :D

I saw that one! It looks like a good car. You could sell the brushed gear that comes with it to fund a brushless setup.

I run an 8.5t orca setup. That cost me about £130 that seems like a pretty decent setup.

All told i have spend about £400 so far. And i have got pretty much everything i need and a well setup car.

I suppose it all depends on your budget.

Hey you lot!!!
 

This is the track thread........What's it got to do wi' cars ?

I've no idea either Rog!

But since people are talking cars:

The B4 is our current beginners weapon of choice, and with good reason. Its tough, easy to setup, nice to drive and goes very well. Rob and Nick can win with it, so its not just a beginners car.

Firestorms can race with us, but we aren't currently running a truck class. We will if there is enough demand, otherwise you'd be in with the buggys. Actually at the old Goshen track trucks could lap as well as 2wd buggys due to being better over the bumps, but I'm not so sure at the new one. So if you like it and want one by all means, but unlike the B4 there won't be a wealth of knowledge and spares trackside. However Firestorms are very tough, so you won't need the spares.

However I did PM you about some stuff. Reply to me with budget details and I'll see what I can sort. I can normally find a package for any budget - just ask Whiskers who I got racing on a shoestring!

Yep, Si sold me a car for £40 to get me racing and now I can out qualify him!

BTW has anybody got any more news/pictures on the current progress on the new track?

Not without cutting the track you can't!

And I didn't sell you the Cat so much as offered it on a sort of hire/purchase scheme until you were ready to pay.......

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

ive seen this before!:p

Any chance of seeing the new track layout or are we to stay in suspense until it's built?
Hey chap cone join team antique plenty of us in a finals nowadays:p

Are we going to have floodlights on the new track for a bit of night racing? :thumbsup:

Need directions ???
 

Why not go and look yourself.................I think you'll like what you see.

And Whiskers..............we've thought about lights.

Nice one will pop over after racing on Sunday.

Bring on the lights great idea and feature .

Not sure Neil Cragg and Paul Bradby would agree! B4 is a great car at any level. :thumbsup:

Anyway, the track looks very promising, I reckon this will be the resurrection year for Bury outdoors (not that it was dead). Looking forward to some good meetings. I hope the racing is as entertaining as this section of the forum!

si dousent mean it like that hes just saying they r cheap to buy and to run!

wheres the rostrum going?

never mind that is that house for sale in the background as it would be quite handy on racedays lol

Looks really good, it's coming together really quickly. Did you manage to source some astro?

Interesting word "resurrection" shows how much attention you've paid to the club over the past couple of years. bury metro has gone from strength to strength from 2009 to 2010 which was the best year go date and the club is expecting to grow again this year judging by the clubs winter series growing in numbers and intrest in this thread some new names some from old(you being one I haven't seen at the track for a while)

The club has had a change of attitude with regards to not taking any of it to serious unless it's under brca rules ie regionals
The club and it's members have a zero tolerance to shouting at people and abusing people if anyone does either god help them!!!

Fair point, and it's good that you guys have kept the club going, I agree. Hopefully will get down a bit more this year, and no I am not one that takes it too seriously definitely, I don't have the talent to!:thumbsup:

No offence intended.

well when we go outdoors im going to be realy serious and start shouting like f*$k of the rostrum and abusing all the marshalls (think what you like!!)

If I get shouted at when marshalling I just suddenly seem to lose the ability to marshall that persons car very quickly (unless I am watching the race or not paying proper attention then I deserve to be shouted at!)...

I just realised I was sandwiched between two official oople 'trouble causers'. I had better watch what I say!:thumbsup:

lol youl fit in at bury someone who can actually take a joke:thumbsup:

What!! He can't take a joke Matt.
He's taken all the mirrors out of his house coz he can't take a joke.
ooh ooh.....I lie........He's been racing nitro eighth.

Don't be like that weasel I'll let all of the air out of your vectra tyres when you have a 1 am start:p
