I know the future of RC racing!

It's in Short Course trucks on 1/8th rallycross tracks!

It's ACE!

I went to the RRCi Short Course Shootout @ Coventry MCC at the weekend and its the most fun I've had racing in the 5 or 6years I've been racing. Everyone was having a laugh, rubbing is allowed :thumbsup: , only saw 1 breakage all day (no it wasn't me!) and best of all I only heard 'MARSHAL' being shouted once or twice all day! not a few times every race.

Also longer finals are the way forward!

Those trucks are made for dirt so if it's a dirt track you're talking about the you're bang on. Someone was driving one at the new 8th dirt track near Wakefield (mmrx) yesterday. I could imagine a heat of them on a track like that being great.

Yeah it was on their dirt track.

Sc's are the solution to the noisey 1/8th clubs which are getting shut!

[Smartalec]

How many of them were there?

If Schumacher were to mould a minispike for the SC trucks this class could really take off in the UK... however with dirt tyres only it's only going to be a novelty class.

I don't care for the contact myself, but they are very robust and look good on the track.

Fastrax have a (mini spike) sort of tyre which we are using at the new Silverstone track on astro turf!!

40 :thumbsup:

It's that magic Yellow (or Blue) compound that makes the difference... works indoors and out, the perfect UK tyre!

[mole2k]

I've seen the Fastrax tyre and am planning on giving it a go on astro. I don't think it'll work on polished wood too well but I try anyway!

I say we just take over 8th Rally cross dirt tracks, much more fun :woot: Its not all about speed then, as you need a very steady throttle finger to put any power down :thumbsup:

sorry that was just me falling off my chair at Ant using the term 'steady throttle finger' .

By steady, do you mean 'bending because it is rammed open?:p

Sc's were awesome thought, hardly any breakages too!
