2010/11 Vintage Series
 
Sorry it's taken so long to organise but here we go:

Trial Run - 22 October (subject to sufficient interest)
Round 1 - 12 November
Round 2 - 10 December
Round 3 - 28 January
Round 4 - 11 February
Round 5 - 25 March
Round 6 - 22 April

Hope these don't clash with anything!

Rules:
6 rounds, 4 to count
100 points for 1st, 99 for second and so on - 1 point for TQ
any battery
any motor
Pre 94 and Pre99 classes

Dyna 07-10-2010 01:19 PM

Hmmm now i could do both classes.... but i did like driving the Top Force last year so put me down for the pre-94 class Pete :)

peetbee 07-10-2010 02:32 PM

At last someone's showed interest!
I was wondering if it was worth running this as I don't want something that only gets two or three runners and then fizzles out.

Dyna 07-10-2010 04:02 PM

Fair enough Pete i agree with you. If we dont get enough entries for a series how about a one-off race night for vintages with a trophy or something ? Might be viable ?

Belsten 07-10-2010 05:14 PM

count me in :thumbsup:

mrspeedy 07-10-2010 06:09 PM

Maybe run a one-off round at the Christmas bash :woot::woot:

Caine 07-10-2010 07:15 PM

Could i run my rc10t? Waiting for a couple of bits but will be able to do november.
So does this mean we can use brushless and lipo or is it strictly old skool electrics?

liam 07-10-2010 07:23 PM

Count me in with an RC10!

peetbee 07-10-2010 07:28 PM

Part of the fun is seeing how well the old transmissions last with lipo and brushless!
RC10T would be interesting, just no driving over the rest of us as the plastics get a bit brittle with age!

Caine 07-10-2010 07:33 PM

Ha Ha i promise i wont, shame my rc10 isnt on the road! My transmission has held up well with brushless so far but been thinkin of replacing the topshaft and using the t4 slipper clutch, have heard it'll take quite low turn motors with that mod:thumbsup: Even thou that would be stupid would'nt it?

liam 07-10-2010 09:19 PM

Who said anything about brushless....! :D he he he

Dyna 07-10-2010 09:41 PM

Ill be running brushless but with GP3300's in the Top Force, but if all other drivers are running 2wd on the night ill switch to the TRX3....

As Pete said anything electrical goes really, it just depends on how worn your plastics are !

liam 07-10-2010 10:00 PM

is it a top force evo? either way it will be good to see

peetbee 07-10-2010 10:27 PM

The top force is fantastic, I want one almost as much as I want an RC10.

Would that tempt your RC10 off the shelf then Si?

liam 14-10-2010 06:45 PM

Had the first test run of the RC10 Team tonight....I LIKE IT!:D

No servo yet but all other leccys in...including a circa 1992 brushed LRP Magic motor.

Seems to have lots of power, nice noise and sparks!

peetbee 14-10-2010 06:58 PM

Oh, that's not fair I won't be able to concentrate on driving as I'll be too busy looking at the RC10!
Will someone sell me one please? :(

liam 14-10-2010 07:21 PM

i could loan you mine for a week and enter the losi as a vintage instead

im quite liking the brushes as it goes

peetbee 14-10-2010 10:37 PM

You won't get it back! :D

PS - sounds like there may not be anyone running vintage on the 22nd (other than Liam) so we won't have a trial run before the series starts - although you are more than welcome to run with the modern stuff!!

It's probably worth saying that even on weeks where the series is running, all the normal micro and tenth classes will be running their own heats too.

metalmickey0 19-10-2010 05:00 PM

do they have to have vintage tyres too, or can we grab some mini pins off Paul. Currently after a Boomerang,mmm memories as The Hornet i had was rubbish:D
