Hinckley Radio Control Car Club

Jb's already told you, but just so you know for sure, I'll be Racing my 2WD Buggy every Saturday throughout the Summer 8) I've recently spoken to Nick Hudson, Paul Crocker & Chris Kirk, which have said that there'll be Racing their Buggies at Hinckley throughout the Summer as well. :D Nick Hudso...

Dale, The Video was for your benefit........to get you in the mood to wipe the dust off your Buggy & give it a Blast! :lol: Maybe your suggestion of having the Table Top Ramp situated directly infront of the Rostrum & the main Straight at the back of the Track will work well............all w...

Hi Dale, I saw the new Outdoor Rostrum & Walkway down the Slope last Saturday.........looks good mate :D Obviously, strengthening the Ramps(mainly the Upslope & Downslope of the Table Top)is a high priority, as they were 'warping' quite alot, towards the end of last Summer. I do also think t...

Hi all, I think I can say that the Bunch of us that did the 4WD Regional at Coventry yesterday(19th April), really enjoyed it :D The Weather ended up being great & there was a fantastic turnout of Racers(around 70), that had a decent Standard of Driving 8) The Track Layout was alittle more Techn...

Hi all, Its ROUND 1 of the 4WD Mid-West Off-Road Regional Championship this Sunday - 19th April This Meeting will be held on the Astro-Turf Track at Coventry. http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk76/Wacker1_photos/CoventryClub2WDRegional1-1.jpg ARRIVAL TIME : AROUND 7.30-7.45AM RACE FEE : £8.00 PRAC...

Hi all, Justin, James, Kenney, Jb, Paul & me had a fantastic Days Racing at Kidderminster yesterday, there was a good turnout of Racers(including some regular 'A' final Drivers), as well as the Weather being Hot & Sunny allday. The Track Layout was quite Technical but fast, with some very Tr...

David,

I can assure you that the Track is Astro-Turf & NOT Carpet

There generally seems to be that much Grip there, that you can get away with using Part Worn Mini-Spike Tyres

I'm sure that it seems odd to everyone, that Coventry is holding a Club Meeting this Sunday, considering the Midland Astro-Turf Masters is a joint Championship between Kidderminster & them.............The reason being is that this Round(which appears to be the LAST Round) was originally schedule...

Hi all, Its the 8th & FINAL Round of the Midland Astro-Turf Masters this Sunday - 12th April. Its being held on the KIDDERMINSTER Track, which is Multi-suface, incorporating 3 different types/grip levels of Astro-Turf, as well as a Tarmac section, Block Paved section & Dirt/Grass section 8) ...

Hi Jamie, A Bunch of us Hinckley Guys(Justin, James, Jb, Nick & me)ended up going to the Ledbury Club last Sunday, which turned out to be a fantastic day.....Racing & Weather wise! :D When we arrived, we all could'nt believe the difference of the Track(from the Photo above), as it was far bi...

Hi all, As the Summer is finally here(well sort of :D ), many of the Clubs are now starting their Outdoor Meetings. To start the Electric Off-Road Buggy Season off, The LEDBURY CLUB is holding a BRCA Warm-up Meeting this Weekend(Sunday 5th April), which will be held on their GRASS Track, that incorp...

I'm definately intrested in giving Indoor Buggy Racing a go at some point..........I'll make a decision on whether to Race Buggies, Touring Cars or 12th Pan Cars nearer the time of the next Indoor Winter Season, which is around September i think? All I do know, is that I wont be Racing Mardaves agai...

I think that if the Hinckley Club was to have an Indoor Buggy Heat, with various Jumps & Obstacles(similar to Worksop & West Bridgford), then running Rubber Mini-Pin Tyres would be the only way to go.............as its not really possible to have an Off-Road style layout Indoors, because of ...

Hi all,

A Photo of the LEDBURY Off-Road Track has now been added(to my previous Post)

I've still got great Memories of Racing 2WD Buggies Indoors at the Hinckley Club :D To get good grip with Rubber Tyres on Carpet, you'd have to go for Schumacher Yellow Mini-Pins, unfortunately though, you'd be lucky to get 2 Meetings out of them, as they wear so quickly. At around £16 a Set(excludi...
