Good nights racing possibly also a few new members
Good feedback received about staggered starts and we will definately stay with them as everybody agreed this is the best and safest way to race

Definately a good night. I got to finish a race!

That ansmann is coming every week with me as a just in case, i use it each time lol.

One question however, do we have any club cars? The kind that new people can have a try of if looking to get into it / return?

We do not have club cars as I actually gave a car to the club a couple of years ago but soon found out it was a big mistake as each week it just got wrecked and cost a fortune to keep repairing
So now it's up to members to offer people a go of theirs
I usually have a spare mardave which I keep to give people a go of but unfortunately my spare transmitter got broke so until I get a new one I won't be bringing it

I got this club car idea stuck in my head now but struggling to structure the argument for one well.

Basically, we have a load of members, what if we made a club car from donated / unwanted parts? As such - free car!

We wouldn't want a quick club car as this would lead to a loss of control and damage - as such, a simple brushed setup would likely suffice.

We could even modify the car to ensure maximum durability. (bigger bumper kind of thing)

I'd happily weigh in, I got parts that are just no use or value to me anymore:

Hobbytech HT1 chassis
Brushed Motor, 21 Turn
Nosram Eletrak brushed ESC (no reverse)
27 mhz Stick transmitter (nothing fancy)
27 mhz receiver (no spare crystals I'm afraid)

Obviously if we took stock of everything offered, we could look to make 1 good car with possible spares. This gives people who turn up unannounced - something to have a go of (especially when they turn up with children).

Just a thought...

angieamyabbie · #7 18-10-2011
