You don't NEED new cars, but the track won't be open when its covered in snow, under puddles/wet mud or dark, and as it will be going dark at around 1630, that means no evening running , and due to the nature of its surroundings it will also be closed during strong winds.
Besides its a good excuse to try something new and buy more toys.

I vote for bangers great fun to be had by all
I,ll call mine pork and apple wots yours

Can we decide how long we are going to run the poll?

I will need to save for any further RC vehicles and need a bit of notice.

If we are going for Mardave (gets my vote) can I suggest we go to one of the specialists like Mardavespares.com and negotiate a discount for multiple purchases?
If we are going for Mardave V12 are we going to allow upgrades or just "run what you bring"?

What thinks you all?

[staticvandal]

The poll has already got an end date. Hopefully RCS will be able to supply the Mardaves soon, failing that I have already negotiated a club discount direct from Mardave

[staticvandal]

I know the poll, still has a little time to run, but I think we are going to run Mardaves - Bangers and Hot Rods. I am very close to booking a hall and would like a little more input before we commit.

Can I have a show of hands for those that believe they will attend regularly one night a week.

Subs currently will be £6.00 for non members and £4.00 for paid members (membership is £43 inc BRCA or £30 without BRCA membership), juniors under 12 are £2.00 if accompanied by an adult racer.

Is everyone happy with early Sunday evening or would you prefer a week day evening?

Our new lap timing equipment will be used, so let me know asap how many transponders you will require. I will be placing an order on Friday. They will be around £20 each inc P&P.

V12 Banger and Hotrod kits and spares are now available from RCS, email or message me for kit specs if your interested.

The sooner I here back from everyone, the sooner I can get everything organised and we can be up and running. Thanks everyone.

Ian

As discussed, I'm up for Sundays as I can't get to any meeting in the week.

Please order me one transponder at the moment.

Racing on a sunday late afternoon / early evening could give us all a real opportunity to involve our young ones in what we do, making them the members of the future.

Running Mardave's is cheap, one class so any racing is down to the drivers ability, means we would race under cover in the winter months and can involve our families who are quite tolerant of the time that we put in to our hobby.

[staticvandal]

OK guys, Timing equipment ordered, transponders and hardware should be here within a week.
First batch of Mardaves ordered along with some spares and speed upgrades.

Question: I know that this goes against BRCA ruling, but would you prefer to run with or without bumpers?

[Ianhunt]

To be honest I don't mind

[Davey]

Cheers for getting orders in Ian.

Re bumpers - while I like the idea of knocking each other off the track I don't like the idea of actually damaging the cars more than can be helped. So I vote for protective bumpers being allowed as an option, providing we regulate dimensions and material to keep things fair.

LMAO!
I just mounted a very small Scud launcher under my shell. At the push of a button I can kill you all. Now for a test..........

[staticvandal]

Phil........Phil...... are you still their.
HMMPHHH! those ACME Scud missles aint what they used to be - meek meek

[Davey]

I got no scuds, I got no titanium rods, I got no concrete. I have got a couple of rather nice body shells arrived today along with a few spares... just need the car and I'm ready to go racing!

Now, how can I fit a taser gun to the roof of a 1/12th Austin Cambridge?

[RCPhil]

Davey, thats the best idea yet!!

I've now ordered the carpet. It will be arriving at my house, on a lerge pallet, on monday.
75 metres of yellow hose now ordered too.

I've had a new idea for the inside of the oval track and will be making a few parts over the next week. I'll post pictures once my construction is complete!!
