No doubt I will upgrade, but I wish to practice with a slower car and improve. Ive only got the 1 battery car pack which is 3300mah.
I have dabbled in rc 20 years ago, but not as far as going club racing so I am at 'Novice status'.

Basically, all I got is me, the Rat and an allen to bring to the track atthe moment.
Happy New year

Hi James
Car will be fine, may need a change of tires depending on track conditions, we have never raced on the new astro yet, so we have a little to learn from tire selection. Yellow mini spikes for dry and Balistic Buggys for Wet condtions as a rule with most tracks.
How good is your charger and will it top of your battery fast enough between races?? Otherwise Ill deig some old batteries out, are you using tamiya type connectors?
Some tyres will be on site for people to purchase if needed.
The transmitter looks quite vintage, so to confirm are you on 27mhz or 40? There is a plane club next to ours running on 35 I think?
Hope this helps a little.
