Buggy guys, if people want jumps etc I wouldn't mind making one over a few mats, the carpet rolls are awful, jumping off them was more like a half pipe!! Also we could have some mats out for bumps like we do as benfield

will have to Rebuild the RS4 rally as i stripped it down to clean it but never got round to building it back up again , I think the mr4 what ive seen is actually a rally and not a touring car.........hmmm not sure what to do now

cheers paul

thinks its 6pm start at benfield school / community centre

I dont think seaham is on this weekend

5th of september next time for tyne met

Buggy might need adjusting/setting up to run better with it being a RTR

tbh we dont get many breakages but good spares would be hubs, uprights and suspension arms

[chrispattinson]

Can someone please clarify what motor limit for tc ? I'm looking for a setup. Is 10.5 permitted?

Maybe Mark(lazysurfer)can clarify this.

[Ray Mac]

I don't give a a "flying phart" what motor anyone uses, just come and enjoy your racing!
It is only a leisure pursuit , after all it's only a game, no-one gets hurt, hopefully.

lol, did you get sorted with some cells Ray or have you took the plunge and bought some lipo's

[TangerineDream]

Not that I'm fussed (as I don't race TC anymore), but we had agreed that people could use 13.5 brushless or down to 19t brushed. We thought this was fair as people with 27t brushed were struggling to keep up with those with a 13.5 brushless.

Mark do you recall?

Isnt 10.5 brushless the same 19t brushed though Paul?
