1:10 Off Road Racing in South Devon?

[bertberr]

Hi, anybody from here race in South Devon? Think there's a club that meet in Marldon, though don't know if they run 1:10?

Would be good to hear from anyone on the Torbay area.

Cheers

I take it Devon isn't exactly a hotbed of RC racing activity...

Tiverton is the closest place I know off.

Hi Bertber, we are not in south devon but Tiverton Radio Control Car Club has a track in Wellington, Somerset. I think this is the only 10th off road track around the south west, correct me if mistaken. If you PM me about contacts. also the website is http://www.trccc.co.uk/ and we also have a section on here http://www.oople.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=98

The next race is the 14th March, 21 days time, we mainly only race 2wd, we do have a tarmac track which we race on the same day.

As for Marldon that is Torbay RAC, http://www.torbayoffroadracing.co.uk/, they do mainly nitro/ electric 8th stuff,

Thanks for links guys, I've already looked into the Marldon club, but dismissed that because it's nitro only and being an old elec 1:10 basher, I'm not sure I like the idea of nitro..., shame as it's only 5 mins from the house.

Looked at the Tiverton website, looks quite impressive, shame that's not just up the road... Need to decide whether a 2 hour return trip is really practical with all the other responsibilities I have now - married with a little lad!

Probably be good to pop along to a club night / race day and have a chat with some of you regulars - coolcars will you be there on the 14th March? What time do things usually kick off?

I'd like to do 2WD elec' but not sure at this stage what would be a good cost effective starter buggy that I could use for racing but also use to bash around the park with my son? Thinking of maybe a new Mad Rat / X-Pro or maybe a used Losi XXX BK2 or TA B4... Hmmm, probably best to see what everyone else is using / recommends before buying anything...
