Whos racing what?
 

I'm thinking touring car or mini.
Others?

Who are you :confused::lol:.

The man from Del Monte and I say ......................... "yes"

Most people this winter are going mardave/supastock crazy. Touring and minis are dead :lol:.

i'm running a supastox but there will still be quite a few running tourers as ardent has now gone.
John (smurfster) is trying to get all the tourers to run 13.5 stock for some close racing.. :)

Tourers though till the last series then breaking out the off road to get ready for next summer.

Looks like I've won again then.:thumbsup:

sticking with the buggies indoor too me thinks

Thinking about dusting off the rally car and running that in Outlaw (or Off-Road if the authorities will let me). Need to make a chassis to take the LiPos first though.

That sounds good. I liked the rally cars when we did them on rally tyres with proper rally car bodies.

if you want dust off your rally cars and race them please create a basic set of rules (motor, body type & tyres etc) so others can join the fun and i will create a sub series championship to the outlaw class. :)

I will be doing the same with the gt12 (13.5, 21.5 & g2).
means i can keep tabs on who's using what. :lol:

a bit like the le mans series, were you have the overall championships and then the sub class championships.

Not fussed about a sub-championship personally, but I'm always up for a trophy opportunity so how about the following. Principle is to keep the rules as simple as possible:

Any 190mm/200mm touring / rally car chassis
Any recognised rally saloon car bodyshell
Treaded touring car size rubber tyres (no slicks, no foams, no buggy size wheels) with at least some visible tread remaining
Min 15mm ride height at full droop (basically, if it's on the deck then it ain't a rally car mate!)
Any motor, any battery, no weight limit.

Better check my yok fits these criteria now!

Chris - dust yours off too mate!

That's what I call an idea for a championship!!! :)

So could we see a return of the old HPI Rally?

them rules will do :lol:

i guess it doesnt matter if its 2wd or 4wd either?

Yay! I got an old Tamiya right here that fits those rules. :thumbsup:

But let me guess, everyone will run 5.5t motors and do two hundred bazillion MPH. Right? ;)

Doubt it, well actually John might.

I would have thought the last thing you would want would be massive speed if your car is planning on going sideways at every corner.

unless your name is martin:woot:

yh but he wouldnt have a ride height of 15mm, he doesnt have that much on his buggy :lol:

Should be fun with the 4.5t in, should spin the wheels up entering a corner!!! :) hehehe

Whoa, Rally? I'm in!

*off to scour ebay for a Losi Rally Weapon*

New shape focus shell ordered!!! :)

Wow, nice to see some interest in a Rally class. Great, should be good. I'm running my old HPI Focus shell on my Yokomo MR4-Rally, so hopefully it'll handle the brushless/LiPo power. Back in '98 when I bought it things were a little different! Think I have some Tamiya Rally Block tyres somewhere, and some of the Schumacher Yellow rally tyres.

I'm running my 6.5 just because it's the only motor I have, but I may turn the power down to save the drivetrain.

And yes Dave, 2WD or 4WD, it doesn't matter. That way if I snap a belt I'll still qualify!!!m :woot:

Would be good to see a few of them running around the track.

Not many buggies racing then :'(. Guess I'll have to look into getting an indoor car!

Im sure i can get some rally blocks and a rally shell on my superstox:thumbsup:


saves me selling it:woot:


What makes and models are you all running?

I plan to run my buggy, the old rally car I have is really a backup plan...

Is there usually time for someone to run in two classes, or is it way too hectic?

Rally wise all I have is a rather old TL01 with some basic upgrades like alloy oil filled shocks, sway bars, and adjustable camber links... Motor wise, I'd be going very very very slow brushed with it. So I'll be running last :)

Reg - superstox? Do they have a 15mm ride height and 190mm/200mm wide?

Cunawarit - running 2 classes is possible, but is a bit manic if you're marshalling 2 heats & racing 2 heats on a night with only 4 or 5 heats!

Hmm, well that didnt go to plan, seeing as I smashed the B-I-N button on a Tamiya FF03 :woot: Wonder if I can jack up the shocks and try to avoid wheelspinning all the front tyre tread away....

Well, bring it along and give it a run - the more the merrier.

Just out of curiosity, what tyres will you guys be running for the rally cars?

I still intend to be running my buggy, but just in case everyone running rally cars :) I'm leaning towards thinking that too much grip with narrow TL01, with a high ride height is a bad idea...

Anyone tried this? http://www.modelsport.co.uk/fastrax-...roducts/365690

Whatever's in the pit box. Probably either Tamiya/HPI Rally Blocks or equivalent treaded tyres. NO SLICKS! I wouldn't worry too much about grip roll - just choose some harder compound tyres to get it sliding around a bit. :)

In reality I think there'll only be 2-3 rally cars though.

OK cool :) What's in my pitbox is so old it is coming apart in my hands :)

2 or 3? OK :)

I wouldn't worry about Aran, I will be racing buggies and I have a sneaking suspision that after Series 1 there will be a boat load of GT12 on ebay and more people racing buggies :lol:

hi can anyone tell me when the indoor season starts plz going to run my superstox

Next friday (7th sept). Doors open at 6, racing to start around 7 (or when we get the track out!)

I've got the supastock but will be racing the buggy to start with :).

what time will you be there friday? ill try get down early to get the carpet down if I can

Well, chassis for the rally car has been made (so the LiPos fit!), car has been re-built and the electrics installed. Will fire it up tomorrow evening to check everything works fine.

Only obvious problem at the moment is that my left rear shock is losing oil even when the car's not running. Dodgy o-ring seal. Just like a real Focus!

It works! :)
