Bug away, but before you do here's a bit more info/Q&A
Use your own lipo's We have managed to fit 5000 and 5600 cells in. Over this and it's tight so would have to do some nifty shim work on the top deck.
You only Marshal your own team car, if you touch another teams car you will get 10 penalty laps
Rostrum position is drawn out of a hat
You need to add servo, receiver, transmitter and battery to make the car work.
Any adjustable components on the car such as droop, ride height, weight, camber, caster, shock oil and springs can be changed.
Cars must remain stock apart from springs, pinions and spur gears.
We will publish a working setup 1 week prior to the event so you can get the cars performing well from the very start. This will be given to you with your shell and is done by someone who is not competing (most likely Andy Moore or Jonny Bowden)
The stock motor is a 15t, it is damn fast and gets pretty hot so we are doing some tests with 21t to see if we can increase life of a motor. Ideas around motors is that whatever we choose you can have up to 3 to help with performance, but we may allow you to have more if you are burning out motors.
BBQ and beer is bring your own, i.e. BBQ is there but you cook your own food, beer and other stuff is also up to you.
The RTR kits usually come with Red shells, we are having clear one's made especially for this event.
The car belongs to the team afterwards and we suggest you keep it as we are going to run this annually and you will be invited back each year.
Tyres, kit tyres are like drift tyres :-( so looking at around 32 compounds, grip/longevity compromise.
There will be night racing (more like dusk due to the pitting area illuminating the track
LED lights have to be fitted in the front and are provided
You can change the connectors
If you pit for any reason you have to do a driver change
Everyone gets 2 x random 5 minute scrutineering checks, teams can not touch the car during this time and the same driver goes back out after the check
Any other things I have not addressed :-)
