Vintage Series 2011/2012 ??????
 

I know its a bit early yet, but was just wondering if we were gonna be able to play with our 20 year old buggys for a few months over the coming Winter/Spring? Thought it was a great laugh last year:thumbsup:

I'm up for some more vintage fun:thumbsup:
I do need a new vintage car tho as i sold the trusty firedragon!!

Suggestions please:D

Dave, no you didn't? How could you?!

Yes there will be another series, just haven't organised it yet.
How about the 1st Friday in the month - making round 1 the 7th of October
6 rounds, best 4 to count.

She was an untamed beast dave, shame :(

Any chance we could start november again, goin away beginning of october.
Pretty Pretty Please Pete?:D

:woot:I dont think she woulda taken another season on 10.5 and lipo power anyways tbh, there were stress marks around a number of gearbox casing areas lol

I vote novemeber aswell gives me a chance to get a new beast

I hope there will be another series, ive got 1 or 2 new purchases I need to test out, when I get them ready that is :blush:

What you been buying now dave? I'm stiil itching to see the yokomo:wub

Which Yoke though, thats the question...

Dave is now officially ' Mr Yokomo ' :woot:

Ive got a few now but still need another couple :woot:
I will be running a yoke at the 1st round

looking forward to running vintage again, how about the last friday of the month starting october ?.

New car
 

Got myself a pair of manta ray's nice and cheap for the vintage series, now do i run the same 10.5 brushless setup the firedragon had in it:drool:

Anyone know if i can run std 12mm hex wheels on it?

looking forward to dicing with peetbee again for 2nd place honours:woot:

Yes and yes, 10.5 will be fine, although i'm aiming for a 8.5 this year in the Egress... i need speed to make up for the handling... if the gearbox will take it.... and any old Tamiya/Kyosho hex wheel will fit the Manta Ray, although the Kyosho's push out the width a wee bit so if you win we would have to disqualify you for a too-wide car :lol:

I think we're going for the 1st Friday in every month starting in November.:thumbsup:
Hopefully enough time for me finish sorting out my Lazer!

Good to hear that you've got a proper buggy tho Dave, somehow I don't think I'll be able to beat you this year now

so is everyone happy for the following dates:
4th November
2nd December
6th January
3rd February
2nd March
6th April

Dependent on how many racers we have, you may or may not be able to run in other classes on vintage nights - I'd like to maintain a minimum of 3 rounds of qually plus finals. If we have too many heats it makes it difficult to achieve. Hope you all understand and are happy with this?

Fine by me :thumbsup:

I'm up for some vintage racing> Very happy with these dates

Work should have clamed down by then i hope getting withdrawl symtoms at the moment. My Cat XLS is nearly ready but im missing a few bits so if anyone has some early cat bits let me know. My PB mustang is miles away but i hope to get one race in with it at least.

Cheers

Rich

what bits are you missing.

Hi Brian,

I am missing a wing mount and the plastic mounts, and also the sevro mounts, the one from the front especially im trying to make up the rear ones.

Cheers

Rich

when you say wing mounts, do you mean the uprights from the shock tower and the buttons that go in the wing?.

Slightly off topic but do any of you vintage racers know of anyone who manufactures belts that could be used on a vintage car? I am after some spares for the Tomy Intruder as think they may well just break as soon as i use it as it has been in the cellar for over a decade.

Thanks in advance,

Chris R
