Vintage Series 2012/13
 

Yes, it's nearly that time already!
Get those pre-94 cars dusted off and ready to roll :thumbsup:

How does roughly the 3rd Friday in the month sound? Starting with September.:woot:

Yeah baby!
 

I'm in for more vintage fun, gonna be the cougar all series this time no more tamiya bathtub type chassis lol :thumbsup:

Yep i'm in! now i'm settled in the new house seriously need to drag my arse out the house to have some play time! :thumbsup:

I am deffo up for a slice of this action this year, thanks to Jessop Snr :thumbsup: Different rides for each round ?? :woot:

i`m in and hopefully vintage will be well supported this year.
how many rounds are we having (7 and best 5 to count?) any rules?

If only I had a chassis and gearbox for my RC10 :rolleyes:

:blush: clearly my memory was affected by being ill, I will dig it all out for you this week!

Simple rules I think:
1) That specific model must have been released prior to 1st January 1994
2) You must have fun
3) Re-releases allowed providing they are not a modern buggy with an old body on (EG: Tamiya Holiday Buggy Re-Re is a no no, Tamiya Boomerang Re-Re is a yes yes!)
4) Period upgrades allowed - if it was available when the car was new then you can run it (this includes repro parts)
5) Brushless motors, modern electronics, lipos, modern wheels and tyres are all allowed
6) You must have fun
7) Due to numbers in other classes a round may be postponed should there be too many heats (so bring your modern car too!)
8) 7 rounds, best 5 rounds to count
9) You must have fun

So the dates for this series will be:
14th September
19th October
16th November
21st December
18th January
15th February
15th March

I think that covers everything - have I mentionend that this is all just for fun?!

woohoo my bosscat works has a 1993 sticker on the box! I'm in then! :)

Harris, do you want my box of RC10 bits again?

Thanks pete

Yes please mikey

I need a rc10 to play will try and get one when i come back from hols so keep me in mind if u got one coming up for sale

I think Chris on wheels was going to sell his.

PETE: Rules #2 #6 and #9 are a bit vague, maybe you need to add a rule #10 to re-iterate a little.

No I keeping my Rc10. I'm selling my SC10.:thumbsup:

As I'm only up in Glos and it sounds like fun, I'm tempted to get a car and have a go myself.

The last time I raced was in 1995, so these cars are still modern to me :o although the operator is nearing vintage :lol:

Trevor.

Hmm, how about: "Thou shalt enjoy thyself immensely" as the 10th commandment? :woot:

The more the merrier Trev, as long as it complies with the rules you can run it!

Wish I could attend...does a yz10 '94 count?

Sorry, wouldn't count for the series points:(
You'd be welcome to come and run it anyway :)
Lovely car though, if I could then I'd have one in my collection in an instant:wub

Going by the list of cars ive just read then my Hotshot will be outclassed straight away

The good news is it looks like my Mini Mustang is now all working as it should do, ive built 2 now one absolutely standard and one will all the hot ups for the time. If anyone has a Futaba 131sh servo i would love to buy it to put in the car to make it even more period.

Cheers

Rich

May I refer you to Rules #2 #6 and #9 :woot:

I think you'd be surprised. Get a set of plastic wheel hexes from a Tamiya touring car and then you'll be able to run any 12mm hex wheel to fit modern rubber so that it's got some grip!:lol:

It'll be amazing to see your PB on track Rich:thumbsup:
