Oh, I really like that idea - you can get a madrat RTR car for £100 on ebay so I am sure someone would do a deal on 6 or 8 of the things.
Cars get handed out an hour before the start of the race and you get that time to trim it out, glue a set of tyres on, drill a hole for transponder and change the battery connection if necessary. No other modifications allowed.
Winning team get one of the knackered cars each instead of a trophy
Be much more an endurance test as you'd have to drive carefully enough not to trash the car in the first hour.
Main negative would be that the entry fee would need to be fairly high to pay for the cars - probably about £20 each to cover car and a set of decent tyres. I guess this would put a lot of people off?? Plus would cars be stupidily slow?
