I think we should look at Russ's idea of Mardave racing because i believe cost is an issue especially if you are running a touring car a buggy and another indoor car. Running all three classes with top of the range gear comes very expensive. Mardave racing is cheap and cheerful and if we limit it to a standard 540 motor and basic esc [chuck out the mechanical mardave one ,they are crap.] only driving skill would seperate us. I used to race a mardave at a club in Torbay and we had the most closest racing i've ever had [except for F1's that i raced at another club,but the expense on these can be a lot higher unless you can get a second hand one.].
You would need to fit a diff to the mardave otherwise they are practically undriveable.
The only thing that concerns me about rear wheel drive only cars is the level of grip at Bromham. I dont know which tyres would be best [probably mini pins] but i dont know if you can get them in 1:12 scale.Could look at Tamiya front wheel drive mini class. They were good[and cheap] on this type of surface. Cheers Andy
