I am new, and am thinking of joining in
 

hello people

been reading through bits and peices and all it has done is made me want to join in :woot:

i race mardaves, light touring cars (used to be pretty good too) and the rc bug has bitten again this winter, plus i only live in ashford so not a million miles away

now, what works that is cheap, i assume i cant run my traxxas slash (still want to race that somewhere) i do have a couple of 4wd buggies, however one is an origanal release hotshot and the other is a schumacher procat (also have some TL-01 Buggies, but they dont really count)

looks like you all run schumacher yellow pins and 27t stock/13.5 which is nice as i have loads of decent speedo's and good lipo's

suppose the best thing to do is turn up and have a look one week, can try and get the pro cat running and take that (if it takes a lipo that is)

keep it real

Ian

welcome ian,

i am new also, only done one wednesday night, well not even that really, the motor packed up :lol::lol:

i am hoping to get along again wednesday night so may meet up with you there, i beleive you know steve smith anyway.

Karl

Would be great to see you there:thumbsup:. Don't hesitate to come and have a chat one weds, its a very friendly club. The Pro Cat im sure would still go round ok so dig the old beast out.

Hope to see you soon,

Dave

Ps, the tyres you need are the yellow full spikes.

Hi Ian,

I don`t know if you remember me it`s Brett Hope, I raced a Brushless Mardave aginst you a few times at Maritime.

I race at Faversham every Wednesday and there is a winter series starting very soon..

Its definately worth coming along to have a look :thumbsup:

It`s a very friendly club and a mixture of all abilities.

Some people race old buggies, or you don`t have to spend a fortune on a second hand buggy.

The good thing is once your set up it is very cheap to race. Tyres last months :thumbsup:

yeah baby dig the pro cat out what a machine yeah come down, you should be able to get both the saddle lipos and the stick lipos in the pro as the belt runs under the chassis and a both 27t and brushless gear should fit fine how i would love an old beast to open a can of wooparse with.

stu rand:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

pro cat
 

I agree these cars are that good you can climb up your own ass!:D

if you say so ;) (is that smudge with the mini) only really know people by there cars, usless with names

also know terry spice too, used to race a parkwood rcc many moons ago

i know of disco stu too, bough a very nice tc4 off him a few years ago

well i dug out the procat, it is actually in pretty good nick, just need a body for it and some tyres (have a massive box full)

next job, get it running

hey neil wouldnt it be wicked if we all ran a retro class say early 90s cars for example that would bring back some wicked memories. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

wow that tc4 was awsome just stick some big wheels on it and race that after all thats all the b44 and the bj4 are.

stu

Sorry to hijack a post on the Faversham section but you can run a Slash at Eden Park Raceway's winter series. We dont race on the same Sunday as Faversham - see our section for details...

I am hoping to drag a few down from EPR to Faversham for some slideways action...

yeah i remember you brett, remember a nutty brushless mardave on a 7.4 lipo too one meeting (when i sy mardave, i actually mean missile)

am glad the tyres last, am used to spending £3 for a pair on the mardave, been a while since i bought real tyres

there isnt an awful lot of that car left now, but you are right it was a great car, damm strong too

excelent, would love to see a field of stock slash's having a blast, will keep my eyes on that, thanks

wow, that would be pretty damm cool, have a couger 2 converted to a truggy in the attic and, well i will have to go take a picture now of what is parked at the end of my garage as they are straight from the 80s

see if you can spot the coolness in the picture

The truck racing was very cool on sunday. Proper door handling and bumping going on:woot:. The one with the buggy shell on was insane.

mmmmmmmm mk1 escort:drool:

sod it bring the mk1 down we can al race it around the carpark that is more cool than the pro cat wow:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[quote=justaddmud;296340]yeah i remember you brett, remember a nutty brushless mardave on a 7.4 lipo too one meeting (when i sy mardave, i actually mean missile)

that be my 7.4 powered 10.5b/less motor that wont go round corners wreack ashell every run v12 then!!! AWSOME:thumbsup:

[quote=Garry Spice;296444]Hi Gaz,

I took mine out with an EZ Run System and Trakpower 4900.
And it did go round corners !!!

Just a tad scary on the straight :woot:

update on the pro cat, i gutted my old xray t1 fk and shoved it all into the cat, am quite impressed with the install, and it sure rips along the carpet quite well

so, if the shell for it that i ordered turns up i might be able to have a race with you lot

heres hoping

Hi Ian!

Looks like im gonna be racing you on Tuesdays and Wednesdays then fella!

Favers is a proper good laugh of a weds evening. Ive only done 3 nights so far but love it. Atmosphere is fantastic

Steve (Smudge on Doverbashers)

well, it is built, painted the shell drov it round the road, and goes, stops the works

only issue is i have no tyres with any tread on

but i will come along and have a look none the less

see you later

Ian

Ian, i`ve got some old Schuey Yellow Full spikes you can borrow if you want.

Not loads of tread but will be fine to have a play.

old girl doesn't like pillars!
 

Ian, Sorry to see the procat introduce itself into the pillar, yesterday!
If you want a temporary replacement you are welcome to use my XX4.
Andy

thanks whisstle, but i think i may try and get a tamiya burger (brett found one for sale at the club) have a soft spot for tamiya

so i might not be there racing next week, but i may turn up to buy one if it is about, defanatly want to race, looks a riot, and its cheap

[quote=justaddmud;298924] tamiya burger

I love it.

The guy you need to speak to is Gordon ( Minster68 on here )

Cheers Brett

brett you are an honer and a saint, thanks

Minster68 pm on route

Has anyone got Gordans number ?

If so please could they PM me.

I see he hasn't been on here for 4 weeks

He was at the club on Wednesday thought mate!!

well i am now the proud owner of gordons old baldric, must say i am very impressed, and i havent even driven it yet, spent a long time last night making all the wires to the speedocorrect, installing all the other bits, and then winding the misses up at half 10 by reving it up, cant wait till next wednesday, especially after seeing the track last night

bring it on

Ian

Cool! See you there fella :thumbsup:.

yes the track was good fun last night, Well done Crewie :thumbsup:

Good to see Matt and Steve Brook eyeing up the competition!

You have got a good car there Ian, you will go well with that! Stay away from the radiators though!

it will be good to see you racing ian and well done for the track lastnight dave it was proper good roll on next week.

stu

OK, so my first time wasnt great, trying to juggle mardaves buggys and a mk1 escort on a crappy budget, well a few months ago i sold all my rc cars (except my slash)the mk1 escort is now tucked up for more work to be done and have been rc free ever since

i am now bored and want to try off road again

saw that this weekend the BRCA south east 2wd is comming to you guys, and that my friend is attending in his short course truck, so want to start there, what is the story with it as cant find any info about it?

then i need to find a buggy

cant wait
