Hinckley Radio Control Car Club

Hi Guys,

Glad to see the forum being used!

Austin has booked the club car for the 24th October just to confirm and we look forward to welcome him to the class and the club.

Regards

I use shoe goo for body repairs and have done for some time, its also excellent for sticking NiMl cells together in side by side configuration, helps keep the pack robust in an accident.

One thing I use when repairing shells is plasterers tape, this is like a nylone mesh approx 50mm wide, available from all builders merchants, I use it in a similar manner to how you use fibre glass matting.

Hi Richie, Cheers mate - a couple of good suggestions there - it seems Shoe Goo is good for many things! Anybody tried it to mend shoes yet?!!

Richard

Fantastic meeting today - cheers guys.

Congratulations to Nick who thoroughly deserved to win. Unlucky Jamie, better luck next week - your car was running brilliantly all day.

We may well see two heats worth next week - fingers crossed.

James

I am deffo back for more
just need a new shell now

Yeah Nick - even Shoe Goo couldn't repair your shell!

Was good fun racing with you - I'm looking forward to doing it all again next week already.

Richard

Cheers for that - very kind! I'm still wondering what you were hitting to do that much destruction to your shell and still win the races - that was a good looking car when we first saw it this morning - not looking too good by the end!

the lexan/plastic it was made out was way to brittle so even the slightest hit it cracked!
so new shell time in crome!

hi guys just to let you know there will be another jnr racer joining the tto1 class this saturday just to clarify the rules can we use the following

1 lrp tc spec speedo

2 touring car wheels

3 lipo battery

4 any comercially available hop up ie oil filled shocks, proper outdrives, propshaft thats stronger than a macdonalds straw

5 any shell 1/10th touring car

6 tamiya silver can/sport tuned

please dont let these questions start a mardave style argument about rules i just wanted to use what we have got already cheers

All looks good to me EXCEPT number 6 - no Sport Tuned motors - stock 27T sealed silver cans only. The Sport Tuned is a 23T and the wrong colour!

Richard

nice one count james in then

Hi Justin,

James will enjoy this racing - it's good close fun. To reiterate your point - there's no funny rules - we just want this to be a welcoming class to allow juniors and newcomers the opportunity to explore the sport and improve their driving skills. It's very much a 'race what you brung' class...

As Richard said, the only rule that we want to stress is the 27T silver can rule - this is so that everyone has the opportunity to compete on a level playing field, keep running costs down and help to make the cars a bit more controllable.

Hopefully this will be a spring board for James' entry into the 'full fat' touring car racing in a season or two.

We look forward to racing with James next Saturday...if there's any initial set-up tips you'd like help with - just ask.

Cheers

James

You can throw a heap on the track (like mine) and still do well
all what you would benifit from is a handset which you can limit the steering travel on

Club Tamiya is now booked this weekend.

Dale

cheers guys james is looking forward to racing its a good step up from mardave without jumping right in to a touring car hopefully there will be two heats soon as my youngest son harry(bruce baker) will be racing the week after
