Nice one Chalky,this has been needed for a good while,i sincerly hope it works out and not a moment to soon,seen as we just lost the Biggin track :)

Hi fellas, I am considering jumping on board with this off-road lark and Wakefield(even tho' it is a big town..)isn't too far from me... I looked at the nook but they run 1/8th-1/5th nitro there, will this track be for nitro large scale as well? Looking at the pics the track looks BIG so will a normal size buggy/truggy disappear into the background...

Errr, just realised the thread title says 1/8th... duh! sorry!!!

Looking good Chalky....

Nice! I work a few mins away from this (ossett) so I might pop over some lunchtime for a look.

we had about 30 turn up last night

and i think 30 were quite impressed:thumbsup:

hi guys, new on here but if you came to track last night, i'm andy the track guy.

hope everyone likes the track, but please DONT go down there unless we have something on. there have been a few incidents with the store stock room lately and i don't want anyone involved with what we are doing getting the blame.

from a track point of view, chalky told me what was needed and we built it. now looking forward to the meeting on the 18th.

after last night i reckon thursday evenings are on for all july, 5 - 8 pm and i'll make sure the coffee vans there again as those latte's were nice :thumbsup:

anyone with any comments from last night would be apreciated, good or bad.

big thanks from me to chalky and gary at morley models as without these two guys it wouldn't have happened.

cheers, drinks at the bar for all.

andy

ahhh... so you are running nitro, I thought it was going to be leccy... ah well... nice track tho guys, good work!! :thumbsup:

can i use my losi8t with my tekin rx8 sytem at this track or as it to be nitro lol

great track flows well with a good selection of jumps,liked the banked corner that lead into the big tabletop at the back.thanks to andy,chalky,gary and everybody else that made this happen.

yes you can run 1/8 electric ,you will be in with the nitro cars though unless we get enough for a full heat

Thursday night practice session
 

Hi all, went along to the practice session last week and was very impressed. :thumbsup:

Only wish I'd held off buying a Cougar SV the week before as this track really suits 1/8th, best get my hand in my pocket and get a 1/8th then. Only question is nitro or electric, answers on a postcard please as my knowledge is very limited.

it looks like a dam good track , I should be going over this weekend to take a look and see which 1 of my 1/8 car will work best on the track truck or truggys .

all my trucks and truggy are brushless what size batterys would i need to run. is it brca ? our not as i would need to get one

open for practice tonight 5 till 8 or just come for a look and a coffee:)

How much do you charge for a pratice?

I've just brought an RC8 and looking to do some 8th over winter. Whats the format on race days?

Cheers

practice nights £5

race meetings will be 1 practice and 3 qualifiers with best 2 runs to count
with bump up finals

first meeting on the 18th july

Are you only planning on having practice sessions on weekday nights?

Looking good guys :thumbsup: might be intised into doing a bit of 8th!!

18th
 

what time does the meeting start next sunday:)

couple of answers here

racing will start at 10:30 and no engines before 10. booking in from 8:30

as for practice we will be doing sunday as well, but with just getting going and with regional and national meetings and hols we will probably be into september before we can sort a calendar
