Hello Everyone
Hello Everyone
I am an old member of the club from its days at Longbenton high school having been introduced to RC Racing Cars in my early teens by my neighbours Pat and Eddie. I haven't raced for nigh on 16/17 years and i am seriously thinking of getting back into it but from talking to Lazy Surfer via email the last couple of days and looking at a few videos, the technology and speed is way way advanced. i hope to pop in on a monday night soon to see the racing first hand as well. Can anyone provide an old noob with some advice on the following questions if possible relating to Touring Cars.. what chassis/manufacturer these days? in my day it was tamiya, schumacher and kyosho had just started making waves tyres? - i still have a load of schumacher yellow mini pins and also slicks from when the club would race on carpet on a sunday although ive seen rally blocks are starting to be a fave transponders - the club used to provide these with the print out timing system in the past, whats the deal now? crystals? still in use? i still have some with my futaba controller batteries? i understand these are now completely different and finally if i wanted a decent competitive set up ready to go maybe 2nd hand so i can get acquainted to it what sort of pricing would i be looking at |

Hello Paul
Getting there, i will be back working in the north east from April 26th so hopefully when i have money together i will be back asap. Im seriously thinking of scowens stuff but had already said to gary i would have his Mi5. So i have a dilemma as Andys stuff has everything i need to start and go straight away |

Do what is right and cost effective for you mate. Im sure neither will mind you buying the others, as they will see the positive for a new racer

I'm not sure if Gary's racing his Mi5 again - I know he broke something on the HPI the other week and said that he couldn't get spares!
