Vintage Series 2011/2012 ??????

[Caine]

I know its a bit early yet, but was just wondering if we were gonna be able to play with our 20 year old buggys for a few months over the coming Winter/Spring? Thought it was a great laugh last year

[JACKOR33]

I'm up for some more vintage fun
I do need a new vintage car tho as i sold the trusty firedragon!!

Suggestions please

Dave, no you didn't? How could you?!

Yes there will be another series, just haven't organised it yet.
How about the 1st Friday in the month - making round 1 the 7th of October
6 rounds, best 4 to count.

I dont think she woulda taken another season on 10.5 and lipo power anyways tbh, there were stress marks around a number of gearbox casing areas lol

I vote novemeber aswell gives me a chance to get a new beast

I hope there will be another series, ive got 1 or 2 new purchases I need to test out, when I get them ready that is

Slightly off topic but do any of you vintage racers know of anyone who manufactures belts that could be used on a vintage car? I am after some spares for the Tomy Intruder as think they may well just break as soon as i use it as it has been in the cellar for over a decade.

Thanks in advance,

Hi We have a vintage class at our xmas meeting.
We also allow re-released vintage Tamiya's. If i came up to race could i race my re-released Frog?

Cheers

Paul

Yes !!

Re-re's are fine as long as its almost based on the original ( Re-re Holiday Buggy for instance.. not exactly vintage that one ), a Frog running would be ace !!

Pugboy ( Chris isnt it ? I brought your old Sanwa receivers off you a couple of years back... ) try these guys on Ebay -

I cant remember what pitch your belts are, but most rubber belts are still available somewhere in the world in various lengths - if they are slightly too long just add in a discreet belt tensioner

Find out the belt pitch for me and ill do some digging for you if you cant find them

Oh yeah I remember that, cheers for the advice, I'll try and find out the pitch and length and see if there is something out there. The layout and pitch/pulley size looks similar to a yokomo yz 870c that I had before the tomy but would have to check to be sure.

Cheers

Ill enter afew dates with either my Cougar 2 Team (watch out Pete!) or my Tamiya Monster Racer

I dont own any other cars so my choice is kinda limited these days!

Hi Paul, yes re-releases are more than welcome although as Matt, says only real ones, the Holiday Buggy is most definitely not a proper rerelease!
Also welcome would be Hotshot, Boomerang, fast attack vehicle & Buggy Champ!

[Dyna]

It would be great to see a Hotshot or Supershot running in the series

It was one car i always wanted as a kid but never had... even now i dont have one in my collection...

[JACKOR33]

Mat,
got any setup tips for my Manta ray please?

Cheers

Dave
