Schumacher Superstox G12

[morpheus2010]

Schumacher have just brought out a 1/12 Superstox car, low cost <£99

Is RVRCC going to allow them to race ?

BRCA have just decided on 2 classes for GT12 Modified GT12.1 or Unmodified GT12.2

7 Classes of Racing
7.1 GT12.1, using brushed or brushless motors as defined in Construction Rules 2, 3, 4 and 5. Cars may be fitted with additional parts not supplied in the rolling chassis kit (see Rule 6.7 and 6.7.1) including a differential in the rear axle, replacements for other parts and home-made parts.

7.2 GT12.2 using brushed or brushless motors as defined in Construction Rules 2, 3, 4 and 5. Cars may only be fitted with parts supplied in the rolling chassis kit (see Rule 6.7 and 6.7.1). A rear axle differential is not allowed.

any mardave style 12th can race but you will not be included in the spring series then can not be registered for positions in the final at least thats what I think the rules are but I might be wrong

I have been keeping an eye on all the posts on other forums on this new 12th scale model. The club will watch the development with interest but has no plans to include them.

The rules for Mardave racing at our club are on the website, but if its got a Mardave chassis, Mardave parts, G2 motor and 4 cells it will be included in the league.

The problem with including any non legal cars is they could affect members points.

Every 4/5 weeks we run a couple of "Fun" nights, these new cars could be run on these nights only.

As I have said before the members make the rules we only enforce them, so if they want change and it gets enough votes at the AGM its in!!

These do look cool and I have done some reading on the specs size ect and they are virtually the same as a dave even have the same rear axle don't really see why everyone is kicking of I think it's all Healthy competion and just a new cheap way to enter racing as mardaves have been around since the start of time why not have different make like buggy classes they are all made to do the same ......... Make people smile and laugh

We race 10th Buggies and Mardaves. not Buggies and 12th scale at Ribble.

They do look a good piece of kit Mark, but until thing change its Mardaves and buggies.

the problem is buddy if you say allow any motor any class 1/12 then it ends up like the buggies and you will end up with heats where there is massive difference in lap times between people where as at the moment there is less than a second between the top drivers

The >>>MARDAVE<<< class, needs to stay the same!
The racing is great at the moment, with me and martin giving Kev & Dobs a run for there money.

If anything the only addition would be brushless but again limited to the G2 or 13.5 systems to keep the cars the same.

Who said Any Motor, Any Class. BRCA have defined GT12 classes and motor/esc classifications.

G2 brushed motors/4cell or 13.5 brushless/blinky/1S lipo would limit the power/cost

Kit parts only

Healthy competition would have more in this class running
