Update - Clubman Class

[Chris56]

Firstly, thanks everybody for your recent feedback and discussions on this class. These have now been considered and here is how we run this class from THIS FRIDAY (24th January):

Chassis: Primarily Mini but “moderately paced” touring cars, F1s and Mardave Mini-Stox, Hpi, Traxxas, Ftx etc welcome. No TRF MODELS ALLOWED
Bodyshell: Any
Motor: Any but 10t brushless (or 19t brushed) or slower preferred.
For F1 cars and Mardaves, minimum 20t brushed or 21t brushless allowed

Tyres: Any type of foam or rubber tyre
Electronics: Maximum of 7.2v Nimh/Nicad Batteries - Maximum of nominal 7.4v Lipo Batteries only.

Hopefully these changes are to everybody's liking. The intention is to keep this heat as a "fun", "run what ya brung" class where people get to run cool cars of their choice and the restore the "Gentlemans'" code. It should also discourage people from trying to win the heat by simply running a super-fast car (like the old Outlaw class). If your car is super-fast, fine but you won't be racing anybody!

Great post, Best part about that post is "If your car is super-fast, fine but you won't be racing anybody!"

.... Love it

Well, it is true As for the reasoning behind the silvercan change for F1s it came from TIC Racing's claim that the HPI 20T fancan is a longer lasting less overheating prone alternative to the Mardave G2. That's been my experience too

Unless 3 turn up

Sound good,
Iv bought a 20 year old F103,ill sun it as it is and see how it goes,it says it's for a mg exterminator motor,what ever that is,

[Chris56]

Was it that Jordan per chance?

I've just change the motor for a 27T Saturn.

For my TA02 I have been able to shoe-horn a 22t pinion in to take the edge off the mad acceleration, but then limited the throttle to 80-85%, depending on how it matches up to everybody elses "Tamtubs"

It the green and black one,lotus ford I think it said,
I'll just throw some electrics in it if it comes before Friday and see what happens,

[Chris56]

I was watching that one too!

Did bid on a TA04 earlier but somebody had set a high maximum bid that I didn't match

[siddus74]

Let's have a picky of the F103 then Reg ... Want to run mine when the others run them.

I have a silver can you can have

[siddus74]

My 6 wheeler has a silver can and kit gearing and the 104w Lotus has a 21.5 which is slower but more controllable ... Both have kit gearing. I have sold the f104 pro (Lewis Hamilton silver one) as it was beyond me setup wise.

I have a f104w Ferrari coming which Id like to run for the last round ;-)

I hate to ask this, but... F1 at the expense of what class?

Just to play devil's advocate, a lot of the people driving F1 are also driving Tamiya tourers, Mardaves as well as occasionally doing off-road and touring cars. That is to say the F1ers are not exclusively F1ers, but rather the sort of people that enjoy driving a variety of cars. There's a small risk that it could be a class with wildly varying numbers week to week. Needs to be discussed.
