What Stock Touring cars are running?

[wallisonline]

Hi All,

recently re-newed my interest in RC racing and am looking to join a club, WBMCC being my local.

So was wondering what everyone was running at the minute in the Stock Touring class to give me an idea of if I need to upgrade what I currently have (a Tamiya TT-01, even got an old TL-01 but that wont be quick enough to race) or if I need to purchase the Mi1 i am looking at and really tempted to buy

Best thing would be to pop in, if your not too far away and have a look.

currently we have classes for:

• 17.5 touring (30 turn/ silvercan etc)
• 13.5 touring (27 turn)
• 10.5 touring (19 turn)
• Outlaw anything on-road
• M-chassis (front or rear wheel drive)
• 2WD off road buggy
• 4WD off road buggy

Summer season starts 2nd friday in May, off road only @ Bingham Rugby club just off the A46/A52

Would like to see an answer to this myself as I may be moving near this club in a couple of months time. Bit to far for me to come and check it out at the moment so I just keep reading this forum

Personaly i would look at the offroad class,not just because snoring cars are boring....but in a few months we move outside to the summer track which is off road....and because snoring cars are boring

Yeah i think the best thing to do is buy a ready to run buggy. one that is easy to get spares for and you can race nerly anywhere then

To be fair if you like TC's i would not go to this club, i re-joined after a while away and to like TC's.

Dave, and most of the old timers make you feel very welcome, but how ever each week we race we are made to feel more second rate to off road. i must say this is not down to the good few who run the club but the few small mined COCKS that think because we don't like what they do, we are not cool, and they are.

Only last week i had to run my last heat with someone on the mic taking the piss about how boring it was (yes why we were racing) i did keep my thoughts, of how god dam rude this was to my self as it was the end of the night and he was just being a COCK.

It is such a shame it has ended up like this, and i will probably not re-join next year because of this

If you do want to do the off road thing, then stick with them, it's the right place to be, if you would like to stick to TC'S then have a look at Ardent raceway on the net it's not that much more travelling, and it a lot more of a TC club.

Hey guys it's a shame to read these comments on here. If you feel that way then just come over to see one of the club members on race control. We've always tried to make people welcome no matter what class they race in or what ability they are. There will always be some banter going on between drivers and the different classes, and in general this is good-natured and humourous, but if you feel otherwise then please let us know in person and we'll try to do something about it.
