Hinckley Radio Control Car Club

Its been a while James! I dont think I will be able to sleep tomorrow... too excited! haha.

We still allowed to pit round the corner? Have missed the gentleman atmosphere with the crude jokes a lot over the summer!

Is a tamiya sport tuned allowed i think it's a rs540?

No, the Sport Tuned is not allowed for Quicksilver racing. It's a 23 turn motor. And it's a black can not a silver one!!

Hi Dann,

Me neither - I'll be too excited thinking about getting my hands on some dirty Johnsons

Pitting is now in the main hall - not quite the gentleman club atmosphere of the corridor, but with a few wingbacks, a globe drinks dispenser and a picture of Her Majesty, we'll soon feel at home - I'll bring my smoking jacket.

James

Marvellous, I shall pack the brandy and pipe tomorrow.

For now gentlemen... Tally Ho!

Found out i have a 27T phantom racing motor is this much quicker than silver can/hpi ones?

yes a phamtom motor will be loads faster than a silver can it would be like putting in a 15 turn motor. i think you could run it if you wanted but you wouldnt be able to get any points. if you wanted to get points then you could put in a hpi or tamiya motor in i think the club has some and there only £6 each hope you join us cuz quicksilver rules!

Hi Ryan (again)

If you need a motor - I can sort you out with one. I'll be pitting with Richard who you've been chatting to on the forum.

Cheers

James

Thanks James, i guess when i built the car 12 years ago i asked the guy to spec it for racing (which i never did!) so i guess it was aimed at the 27T class that is now defunct.
I might run it "as is" as i will probably be all over the place to start with but will have a motor so i'm legal next time.
