Default GT12 Clubman Class

Following feedback from former, current and potential future members of the club, we have a possible and very cost effective solution.
We have realised that racers are spending most of their budget on selected motors, top quality cells and the latest ESCs which comes to quite a total, we have therefore introduced our TOTALLY VOLUNTARY AND NOT COMPULSORY "C" class or Clubmans class racing for GT12.
This comprises of a basic 13.5 motor, ESC and 2x1s Lipos. This set costs approx. £100 IN TOTAL !
13.5 Turnigy motor
Gen2 1s ESC
2x1s Nano tech Lipos.
Yep, more expense BUT, with 6 of us with the equipment already purchased for about 40% of the cost of hi spec equipment, we're sure you'll agree that this is quite a saving!
The hope for this class is that it will show anyone that you do not need to purchase the best kit to race and be competitive but to rely heavily on one thing - your driving skill !
We plan to run this probably most weeks and have an open, "free for all" week every now and then. ( Most run with the budget kit anyway !! )
Hope this will encourage anyone sitting on the fence waiting to have a go, or wanting to race GT12, to come along and enjoy some racing when we all have the same electronics and see how close the racing is in GT12 at BarleyMowRCCC!
Oh ...... Save yourselves on postage - Peter Angus has ALL this kit in the club shop available NOW ! Priced at ONLY £110 - and that for a motor, ESC AND 2 sets of 1s Lipos - which you get connectors and charge leads with !

Been running this now for 2 weeks, I have to say i'm quicker with this than the electrics that cost much, much more.

Don't be put off by the cost of RC racing, come along and race GT12.

Fractions of a second between the competitors, you cant get better racing than that!
