EBOR-24 // YORK 24 Hour Endurance

It should really be like a top gear challenge where you have to build the car at the start of the 24 hours, that will slow down the 4wds a bit

will help the oople/pred team if you do as they fly together lol

All sounds very expensive to me

How about Team Shoestring?

- An old b4 or XXX roller
- 540 motor + standard speedo and servo
- Old Nimh cells only
- Using all the old part worn tires everyone has laying around
- Nothing new allowed

Total cost could come in under £100

There may be a funny laughing face at the end of that but there is no reason why that should not see a team to the end of the 24 hrs.

Be really good to see a local team do the 24hrs, especially a York team as it is at their venue.

It was a semi serious suggestion. In fact there is no reason why it shoud cost anything. But then who really wants to spent 24 hours plodding round the track knowing last place is a dead cert.

This is what the York team might be using

Hi guys,

Just a clarification on something from the boss:

• Batterys must be located in the position the manufacturer intended them to be.
• You can only use a shell designed for the car you are running.

Thanks,
