1/10th Off Road on the rise?
 

Seems to be more and more people starting up 1/10th and also joining it from other classes like 1/8 Nitro and 1/10th On Road.... Is this the Renaissance period?

Left it for girls and booze 20 years ago need to escape the girl and kids 20 years on. Hence we are flocking back:p

£10 for every time we've heard that when people come back!

Thats Ok Neil, I only stopped 14 years ago for beer and women and only restarted to try and keep me out of the pub less frequenly - It hasnt worked however, Therefore im keeping that £10 for 3 pints of Directors :thumbsup: Maybe see more of you after the new year :p

I think its on the up for sure, alot of TC lads in my area are coming over to 10th off road, cost is a factor as touring is expensive on the latest kit you need and tyres at £25 a club meeting gets expensive.


Its great to see :thumbsup:

That is spot on.
Time for me to come back to off road!

This section has been on the rise for the last 8 years!!!
Your a newby to the section really haha :lol::thumbsup:

also people are leaving touring cars for buggys, i know quite a few including me that have had enough of the TC world:)

offroad 1/10th revival
 

1/10th offroad is where it all started for a lot of racers...it is great to see the increase in numbers :thumbsup: really positive for the sport...and the club scene with strengthen with extra support in numbers....all good vibes :)

Agree.
 

I am back from a 22 year break, left for real cars and women at 18........ now i have a permanant woman and bored with real cars and shes happy for me to go "play" with model cars, I thought, why not.

Glad this section has been added after i mentioned it last week......

althou there were mixed replies to the sugestion!"!!!! lol.....

10th off road, thats where its at!!!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Add me to that list.

yep add me to that list also my son is just old enough to race at six so I have an excuse for playing out:lol:

Same as everyone else, girls cars etc then came back to the hobby.

I think off road is popular as its easy to get into, and you can spend £100 on a RTR that you can drive in your garden.

Its not really any cheaper than on-road at club level. If anything you spend much more on spares as Buggies get a lot more wear and bangs compared to TC's due to the nature of the racing. (I've spent £10 on parts all year for my TC)

I just like the fact that there seems to be more people coming back to the hobby. I think most people just want to have fun, most of the onroad guys have a buggy and vice versa. As a side note we have had a upturn in the two onroad clubs I go to over the last few months.

Snap..... quit racing in 96 for women and booze.

Came back 4 years ago and suffered touring cars for about 3 years, gave off road a shot and haven't looked back since :thumbsup:

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 

Looks like most of us are in the same boat, or at least the same river.....

either way, Its GREAT to be back...............

Rubin's Racin People! Lets get rubin!!!!!:woot:

Came over about a year or so ago from 1/8th RallyX the last 2 winter's were killing cars plus nitro, tyre, engine etc ...... prices were going up and up!
But still have a few of them to race in better track / weather conditions, but thoroughly enjoying the 1/10th scene and the lack cleaning a car caked in nitro and mud after a meeting:thumbsup:

I'm gonna give nitro a go next year aswell.:thumbsup:

hmmmm
 

I am tempted......... but loving the 10th/elec at the moment, so not sure what to do............

1/10th
 

Came back after 7 year brake couldn't afford racing at oulton park and Cadwell park anymore £120-£150 for entry fee and £110 for front Dunlop tyre.

ouch....................
 

sounds expensive............:cry:
