Racing Sunday 27th March 2011
 

hi

me and my friend are looking at coming to torch on sunday 27th, i have never raced before and he used to race as a young lad

is it ok to just turn up or do we need to book in?
is there anything special we need to bring/use?

basically im just asking what to expect when i turn up

cheers

Can you confirm a few things:

1. Car 1/10h scale off road? What Cars?
2. Fast Charger for batteries?
3. Are the cars race ready and reliable?

Book in on day, £8 non members, members £6, we do supply club transponders for AMD lap counting system, PT's are the prefered long term solution.

Any other questions please ask

Steve

my friends is a rtr brushless 12t
not sure or reliability yet as we have not raced them
i have a few spares ready and waiting

i am getting a fusion ethos this week and we both have lipos

Hi

The Madrats will be fine - (we already have a few racers running them) and I am sure the motors will be plenty powerful enough for your first meeting.

My advice would be just to come down with whatever you have and see how you get on. Make sure you let someone in race control know that this is your first meeting so they can make sure you are looked after and most important of all if you have any problems or questions please ask!! Most of us are pretty friendly and more than willing to talk about set up and equipment all day and if you do break something or need to borrow something there is a high chance someone will be able to help.

I unfortunately cannot make it this Sunday so good luck if you can make it.

Cheers

Rob

cheers rob, thanks for your help

Racing this weekend for a morning session, it'll be Julian and I running the meeting so if people can help that would be great. With the numbers on the up it's hard work.

Our Chairman and superstar SteveB will be taking a back burner for a while. Congrats mate :thumbsup: An opportunity for someone else to take the glory.

So lets have a great meeting and also all help each other. 4WD for me whilst I try and sort out a pig of a Durango (before it gets raffled).

If all goes well I'll be running 4wd with my Rango, but i'll make sure I bring my box of 'Rat spares just in case! It's a great little racer, and much maligned in the UK just because of the Ansmann name:thumbdown:

I've run 8.5T in mine and it's been a really good way to get into the electric scene. Not so fast it gets you into major trouble, but quick enough to have a good race.

I should be there Sunday 4wd for me.
Looking forward to seeing the new layout and finding out what the jumps are like.

Tony

All I can say is a car killer for you:p

Dan

Have you got the date right :p

I should be down to race, not sure 2 or 4wd yet. But I will help Mike. How much are raffle tickets by the way?:D

I'm hoping to be there to give the Rango a blast.. and get the setup more dialled. Looking forward to the new track. Always nice to have change and jumps! Lets hope for some nice weather!:thumbsup:

Corrected :)

4WD for me :thumbsup:

Though not looking forward to the clocks changing - one less hour in bed. So as we lose 1 hour based on current time I'll have to wake up at 5:30am rather than the normal 6:30am :cry:

Adam's been picked for Alton Hockey this week so we'll not be racing Sunday, he's :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: I'm :thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown:

I should be down with 4wd again. Durango + ORCA was awesome last week, think it could be even better.

Please get in touch if you want us to put anything to one side from the shop for you.

(Two 27th threads?)

i will be there hopeing to see some more losi 22 down at torch im just waiting for my sx3 any one know when they are going to be out ? :thumbsup:

SX3 should be around the end of April...

Happy to take pre-orders for them, prices on our website.

Hi Guys. I am not known at TORCH, unless you are a Clanfield regular.
Well surprise of all surprises, I have now finished my winter project. The build of my AE B44.1 is now completed and I am ready to roll. Problem is I can't make it this week, but am planing to be there on 3rdApril. Hope the weather holds out. Cannot work out why it has taken me so long to drag myself the 3 miles from home to TORCH, although I have been up a couple of times to spectate. Have to say, just like the committee at Clanfield, you have worked incredbly hard throughout the winter, and have a first class track. I am looking forward to driving on it with my first experince of 1/10 scale electric.
Hope you all have a good day Sunday

Rango is ready to roll on sunday looking forward to it:thumbsup:
