Building a race rig

[trevron73]

Just putting together a novice race rig ,wonder what i should concentrate on getting before racing in September . Currently /already bought
Pit box/carry case - regular plastic storage box with lid .
Car stand rotating .
Pit tray .
Basic assorted tools and rechargeable drill.
Bearing blaster and solution
Ac/dc charger for standard and Lipo
12 leisure battery and also inverter (both ways )
solder iron and solder various gauge wires and connectors
Spares are zero , i plan to get suspension arms F and R also Turbuckles drive shafts and body mounts .
Of course wet weather /dry tyres i just aim to finsh the days racing whilst getting consistent laps rather than podiums any advice on anything i have missed would be great ,thanks in advance and apologies if it seems tedious to seasoned vets .Best regards Trev( Big Trev racing)

what class are you racing?

[fidspeed]

you look to have got most items well under control

major items missing

flask and butties
bucket load of patience and enthusiasm :thumbsup:
seriously though when you start to race look at what the local guys have/use/need more than likely they will all try to help as we are always short of newcomers to the hobby

good luck for september ( choose a car that has good spares and back up reputation all the major players wil be ok ask the locals where you intend to race most its a good pointer

I Wanted to race SCT , but being based in Skipton N Yorks - looks like i would have to travel too far ? . I am dead keen on SCt so if the ice man goes ahead at A1 - i will do that over winter and SCT Nationals if it runs in 2016 ? If not i will look for a 1 :10 electric buggy and take it from there . The wife will not be happy though i just shelled out on a new SCT ?#shouldofdonemorereasearch:(

Cullingworth Village Hall (10electric) race 10th buggy on alternate Friday's Nori is very welcoming and most of the drivers there race on Sunday at either Batley or Bury, I turned up to watch 5ish years ago and I've been racing ever since, and maybe 1 of them will know about any local sct, strangely enough there's already a Trevor from Skipton who races there.

Aye, i went to see Nori at 10 electric last Friday, lovely man , i might take him up on the offeror helping me ring a second hand 2wd , my heart is set on SCT so i will explore all options . 10 electric looked a very friendly and family vibe i liked it a lot .Thanks .

Bit further afield, but York race SCT too, although only on specific nights I think.
