Racing at York-Reminder

[Mike2222]

There is no racing at York this Saturday 1st November due to Half-term school
holidays. We resume on 8th November with round 2 of 2wd Championships.
You have another week to get your your cars ready

is the above for 17.5t class as well - I am a new member, missed round one but would like to race in the 17.5 class to start with

I'm more than sure that there will be a 17.5 class next saturday

There are always the following classes each week:-

17.5 Blinky (4wd)
540 Sealed Can (2wd)
2wd Modified Motor
4wd Modified Motor

All that's different is that it could be a champ points scoring night for one or more class (but anyone can enter)

oh, and Short Course is once a month (but the other classes still run)

Hope this helps

Just remember to turn up early and help build the track

thanks very much

sorry to be a bit thick but what's a 540 sealed can motor (2wd) please? My motors are a 17.5t speed passion and an 8.5t speed passion which I guess is classed as 2wd modified for future racing?

540 sealed can is a brushed, sealed can (non adjustable, or stripable) motor, usually a Saturn 20t. It's the "starter" class for 2wd. Originally raced with 17.5 blinky in either 2 or 4wd, but 4wd, 17.5 and lipo out classed 2wd, 20t sealed can so the classes were split. I believe you can run a 2wd 17.5 blinky, but all 4wd must run in that class, not the sealed can class.
8.5 is def modified. Anything other than the above falls under modified, even a 13.5 blinky.

It's very close racing which is great!

I can never decide which cars to run, so I think I'll do 2 classes next time one of them being 540 sealed can
