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

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 :)

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.

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 ?

count me in :thumbsup:

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

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?

Count me in with an RC10!

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!

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?

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

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 !

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

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?

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!

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? :(

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

im quite liking the brushes as it goes

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.

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

LOL no you dont have to have Vintage tyres.... :lol:

Then again, i remember Andy running his Thundershot with vintage tyres and it wasnt half bad...ish.... on the carpet anyway :woot:

I cant be there this friday but the Top Force is all ready to go for round one :)

took the rc10 for a run down the park today...I really like it! seems to bounce along nice on the grass

after afew mins i thought i would touch the brushed motor to check the temps and when i did got this odd "Hissing" sound on my finger:o

Hot hot hot!

think ill drop down a couple of pinions

Do you have a nice motor imprint now then?:D And a bit of skin toasted to the motor

Vintage tyres would be interesting - these are still available - everyone to run these in blue compound!!

If I make it this week, I won't be running vintage, so I reckon the first outing for nearly everyone will be the first round - should be fun!

ill be running a brushed motor in the RC10 for as long as my charger can keep up with its energy demands which i dont think will be long!

If anyone's looking for a vintage car, I've jsut spotted this which would be awesome!!

Crikey i havent seen one of those in years good find pete! On that subject thou this little beast really got my juices flowing when i came across it on the bay yesterday!

Dunno if it'll even sell at this rate, looks bloody lovely thou:thumbsup:

Ooooh yes i love those old YZ10's :)

Axeman, you said you were looking for something vintage yet competitive for the series, thats about perfect dude :thumbsup:

I almost mistook the new b44.198664 x pie (whatever there calling it) for one of these at Kidderminster the other week...very nice!

I prefer this to an egress but the avante is still my top vintage 4wd

Ooo I used to run one of those yokomos.

Well it was compulsory if you wanted a 4wd to go with your RC10!!

I'm in running CJ's T3 as it was launched in 1998!!!!
happy days

Oh yes associated trucks out in force! However if the bits come in time my rc10 is comin out. Loved havin a drive of liams on friday

vintage things :)
 

Can i run a B3 ?

Not sure what date it was launched :blush:

they were winning in 1998 with the t3 and b3!!!
so you will be in same cat as me Number 2!!!:p

wont be able to catch me though :p

I know - thats the problem :lol:

I think we ought to have a 2 lap start over Owen.... :p

don't worry about owen!!!! I've got CJ's T3 with big chunky tyres!!! owen will do only one lap!:p

Any 'dubious racing incidents' will lead to that driver's exclusion, I don't want the elderly plastics to be subjected to more abuse than they can handle!

I'm not sure what your on about pete????:eh?:

I'm the art of perfect driving!!!:lol::lol::lol:

:)
