yup pretty epic days racing. I'm so glad I stayed until the end, after failing to finish 4 heats. I managed a 4th place in the final, despite the cutting out I experienced as well as snapping a servo mount towards the end.

already ordered deans connectors, another lipo and alu servo mounts

Little Chris is the man to talk to about shells. Actually Rog the Race Controller does them too, and a few others, but most of the fancy shells are Little Chris's work

Lots of new faces today, lovely weather and a crappy radio. I really must get a better one. Mind you I do have a KO stick set, except Mark's got it so it probably never work again.

Mark with a 1/8th will kill someone - ME! With the constant 'I can't get it to start', 'The brakes don't work' etc

the only reason i feeling drawn to 8ths/5ths. is the sheer amount of track time you get. i would only race electric 8th if i did any way. NITRO SUCKS.
but 2 stroke is ok (5th scale)

who else feels that 5 min is to short now we have brushless and lipo
at the enduros we all run 10 min or more. at indoor nights 5 min works but when we got all sunday surely we could push it a bit

how about 7 min qualifiers
9min finals

the five rounds and a final works well to but how about extending the pleasure by a couple of min . its hardly gonna put loads of extra time on.
2 sets of batteries and were sorted
what do you think boys are we moving with the times and technology or what . or do i need to buy a BIG car to satisfy my urges


ps i fixed buds last night. digitally.........

Id agree with this, as a first time 5 mins flew by! Id say 6 mins and a 10 min final to give you chance to catch up

nowt wrong with 1/8th...

looks like iv got meself a pit bitch then..from all that support for me racing/crashing 1/8th
deffo agree again with gj about longer heats as the car are alot more advanced now and easy do 7min heats,i seem to always do better mid to end of the race and just as am in the grove its over...gets my vote ever time.We should do a test day for longer heats,

Default eighth ????

No refunds from the tenth scale club

When the race controller is racing with NiCads there will be NO 7, 8 or nine minute racing.
