I've put my name in for 4WD at the first round - not looked at me calendar yet for the rest.
 I'm wondering if I should try and do 2WD as well?This is the all astroturf track at silverstone?

Whatever the case, I would still like to see you use reverse at either a Regional or National 1/10th off-road and see what reaction/penalty you would incur. Meanwhile I did find the BRCA Micro rules:- 2.11. Cars must not reverse during competition.

I attended BADMCC for the first time last Sunday, and it has a loose dirt surface - SCTs going round that would look so right!

First:- a massive apology to Mark - you are absolutely correct, there is no ban on reverse for 1/10th off-road. When Frecklychimp mentioned 1.9 it seemed to fit number wise with a rule I had seen (which was in fact 2.11 Micro's) and I went along with the assumption. My mistake, I should have checked first. PM me your address and you will have that bottle of Bolly. Second:- if reverse isn’t banned, how is it that I’ve never seen anyone use it at any serious points meeting at my club, regional, nationals, F345, Kampenhout etc. Either the drivers are all as unwise as I am to the rules, or they see the sense in not using reverse (many reasons given by others in this thread). Third:- if reverse were to become common usage, you could bet for sure that LRP with their SXX, Nosram Pearl etc, would make a change pretty quickly to give the driver the option to turn on reverse. Fourth:- is the reason why I was so interested in this debate. I can go along to local clubs in the week (Ribble-Valley, Denton) and have a good time thrashing my truck and buggies around the track. Rules are lax and there are often newbies who use reverse causing untold mayhem, you put up with it because we all have to learn. Because I don’t attend that often I don’t have the cumulative points and so usually end in the bottom heat. This happened a few weeks ago at Denton, one person put their buggy in reverse and shot onto the straight smack into my buggy going at full pelt – resulting in untold damage. I then managed to get into the A final – came second and not one driver used reverse. You can guess which race I got the most fun out of. So, seeing a National shootout for SCT gave me the impression that if I were to travel 140ish miles to the nearest venue I at least would be amongst drivers who would make the event FUN for me. If all I’m going to get is what I can have in the week locally then I won’t travel. May I wish you all a very good series.

Tony
Thank you apology accepted I'm sorry if I came over personal at all. Not many on here have the balls or grace to make a post as yours. As I said you don't owe me anything. The idea of having penalties for simply slapping your truck in reverse needs to be drilled into drivers at drivers briefing. I'm sure from my experience those using reverse in a high profile meeting won't be as your local club. Please attend the meetings and give em a shot. Mark

I had a chat on Tuesday with some fellow club members that have raced for many years...
They all said the same thing " i thought reverse was banned " Guess its been an assumption for a long time, in the good old days of brushed motors, the top level speedos were all forward/brake and the brushed motors were heavily timed and diodes added, you wouldn't have been able to run reverse without sacrificing the forward and stopping bit heavily! Just shows how much attention we spend on the finer rules... at least the SCT class has shown some loopholes to the masses! Tony, there will be a large number of drivers not using reverse, i'm one of them... a bit disappointed with decision on rules but we don't know if its a big enough issue to argue about until racing starts, can soon be ammended if it is seen as too much of an advantage. As long as the racing is fun and the refs are not being too harsh with any of us then it will be fine and a great championship... Just have to make sure we bury the trucks with reverse holding us up well deep into the hoses! (in a fair and sporting manner of course) As Mark says, give it a go, lets make this SCT racing thing work

On a non-reverse related topic (!), with round 1 a couple of weeks away what time does everything kick off and can we camp on-site?
Is there going to be an entry list anywhere, I've booked in for all the 2wd rounds bar round 4 but not had a confirmation email yet?

Hi All,
We are in the process of finalising raceday timings. Once they have been checked they will be published. It is hoped that all rounds will be run to the same timings. Stef
