Hinckley Radio Control Car Club

Hi Tricky,

Unfortunately not - we run electric touring cars and Mardave V12 indoors (autumn/winter) and electric buggies outdoors (spring/summer).

James

Hi Andy - glad you like it. Looking forward to seeing it in action next weekend.

Catch you later bud...

James

No worries Andy - always happy to help. Looking forward to seeing the car - the spec looks more than enough for racing.

Catch you later bud...

Hi Andy, I'd avoid Mtronics stuff - it use to be quite good a decade or so ago, but now many find the quality isn't up to scratch. However I agree with Richard that you can't go far wrong with a Tamiya TEU101 - you can normally get them new off Ebay for about £17 - £20 here in the UK. Here's an exam...

Richard

These aren't just available to any Tom, Dick or Harry you know...

...but seeing as your name is Richard - I suppose you qualify

No problem Andy...see me on Saturday.

See you later

James

Hi Dann/Andy, Richard has been telling me about the racing yesterday - good to see the both of you had fun. Andy - pity your Cossie didn't cut the mustard, but I'm sure with some attention it could be made to handle - the main thing for a TA01 would be to stiffen the shocks, lower the car and try to...

I agree - anyone who's raced with Richard from one to the next will know that 6 days is excessively long as far as his driving is concerned (sorry couldn't resist)

Motors for sale...Cheers James

Excellent news - the man to beat at the moment is Mark.

I say the start of April.

I know that such a class may be awkward to effectively police, but my own view is that if someone knowingly cheats then the only person that they are truly cheating is themselves. However if two cars are going down a straight and suddenly one "finds an extra gear" then it will be noticabl...

Evening Tom (et al),

Looks good - I've responded.

Cheers

Just found these cells on ebay that should do the trick... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260637318271&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT £11 a pack (inc. delivery) - they have over 900 in stock! I reckon the total outlay per team (i.e. Ansmann kit, 3 x cells and speedo) would be...
