Default How loud is a 10th Buggy?

Hi all,

Anyone out there know how loud in DB a 1/10th electric buggy is?
I also need spec sheets to prove this if possible?

Thanks

Lee

I would talk to Alan Dell as he usually will have the kit to test. He is responsible for testing the noise levels at 8th tracks so I am sure he can help you and he is your 8th pit man's dad.

Lee,

It might be an idea to email the main motor manufacturers as they will probably be able to send you some sort of spec sheets.

Then you could collate them and forward on to the council, I would imagine that having the manufacturer stats would add a bit of assurance.

That is a good idea but the electric motor is quite quiet when not in a car. It is the noise of the gears / belt(s) that can give that extra bit of noise and sometimes I find that a body shell can seem to amplify it a little. Bloomin red tape council rubbish!

Is this because the ramblers could get the track closed as it was on your land? So now they're trying to use the noise levels as a way of stoping you pidge?

Some people need to get a life.

Lee, I seriuosly hope what everyone is thinking on here is not true....that it is your local coucil asking for this for the track purposes, since if they are that is plain bloody bonkers mate...........

Take your SC8 round to their office's, if that is the case and rag that around right outside their office window all day to p%$* them off, when they tell you to bugger off and use "that thing" somwhere more quiet and away from them, tell them that you cant...they are trying to close the venue down (even for the quiet "toys" never mind the noisier ones)
