Hi everyone

So after a short period of not having an rc I thought I might try racing, and was delighted after finding this club which is only a few minutes away from my house

So I have a tamiya m05 and was looking to come on saturdays to race/practice but I have a few q's

Do I need a transponder?
Are mini's popular at bmcc?
and do you have anywhere to charge lipos at the outdoor track?

thanks
