Winter Racing
 

Hey everyone, we need ideas of what and were to run this winter. We already have some Losi micros in the club so running those is an obvious option. But we don't need to be limited to those. I have been looking at something a bit different - Mardave V12 Banger Racing. It looks pretty cheap to setup (apart from the lap counting as usual) and the cars themselves can be bought quite cheaply, could be a bit of a giggle.
What ever we do we also need some were to do it, suggestions on a postcard please.
Let me know your thoughts and suggestions so we can get something organised nice and early.:thumbsup:

I like the idea of Losi Micro's.

We could set up a decent little track in a local community hall for small money.

This is only coz i want to get one anyway!!!!

The mardave caterham looks great I will get one if I can race it

Ok, could be swayed.

What class of Mardave are we looking at Mr. Vandal?

I was thinking V12/Mini Stock. The Caterham is cool:cool: but you might want to think about a banger shell for it if we go oval track. I am happy to run Losi Micro as well, like I said, I would like to get everyone's input before we make any decisions.

If you guys are running V12's I may be tempted to come along for a bit of a laugh.

Dear All,
Banger Racing looks great fun with the Mardave V12.
Count me in.

I'm thinking the same. The Mini's look good and don't break the bank either at about £60.

Mr. Vandal

When we've decided what formula we will go with do we have track material or should I start to look?

I take it we will require white painted 4x2 etc?

V12 minis I'm up for that :thumbsup:

track type is usually carpet, I guess with a similar feel to carpet tiles, can any one shed any more light on this?

Thanks Marc, I didnt even know you could run a poll on here. I have set the poll up.

Are you going to put a closing date on this? :confused:

Sorry just noticed there is one :lol:

Hi lads, just moved to the area, I already race 1/10 electric off-road but if your going to be doing the losi micro's I'm defiantly up for that. At least the open wheeled losi' will be in with the theme you are going for with the 1/8 scale, just a shame I have sold all mine up.

maybe you got room to do bangers and 1/10th,the bangers just do a oval so do that last and use 1/10th for the rest of the evenings and 1/16th ,you can get cheap tamyia on ebay,we have alocal club they do 1/10th in the commiuty center,after you painted up the bangers,i,but will it be fun after 3 months?and you can use 1/10th on any carpark.

and why stop running on the track over winter?most clubs have a summer and winter season,yes a few get cancelled due to too much rain,but wet weather evens out the drivers,so what the reason you wouldnt use the track over winter?the indoor stuff as a 2nd meeting over winter?weekday evenings or sat sun day?if you got the hall for the day?you can run 10th and banger you got plenty of time.

theres the carpet tiles you need or used ones,,,,,,
