Short Course trucks indoors?

[Chrislong]

Sooooo, who's up for this? I am, I know Andy Fletcher is, Shanks? Matt? :thumbsup:

These are a right scream, lets keep it simple and not complicate the class with rules - Im running mine with a 10.5 brushless by choice, the only two rules are; one direction around the track, don't cut the track.

Stop being gay !!!

Chris

Yep me and Matt will be jointly campainging my Traxxas Slash at Bury Indoors season...

Matt took it away the other day - back to his garage for a little re-building and tunning - was a little dirty after i have been driving it through and over anything i could find with my 3yr old!

3yr old's do like to go trhough puddles and mud!

Matt will have it bang on ready for the indoor season though and we plan on doing alternate heats - fastest lap gets to drive the final...

Last yr there were a few trucks - inclduing a few 1/8th elec convertions..

Reckon there will be more this yr so should be good..

Check you out with all your new toys:)

[Si Coe]

Can we just call it trucks and not short course trucks, only I've got an RC10T (alloy chassis version, real old) I'd love to take out. With a 5.5t in it. In a demolition derby there isn't much chance of you breaking that!


I bet Lee would like to campaign his Macnum too.

[madmax]

ill be up for some truck fum at bury, ill even have a mid engined macnum to run,

[Chrislong]

Yeh whatever, the more the merry-er!

[jameswilkinson7]

Is this defiantly on? because im very interested! Loooking to get an SC10 asap!

[T4miy4 Guy]

It`s looking good so far :thumbsup:

[Si Coe]

Hmmm. Only problem is I'd also like to race 4wd too. I could enter 2 classes, but at £10 each thats a bit steep. Any chance of a discount for multiple classes?

[birdy]

I will be there with a Losi Strike!

Roger will probably sort something out, he's the best man to ask though - drop him an email and let us know the answer :thumbsup:

[budfish]

looks like ill have to get myself a bleeding truck now aswell cant be left out think ill get a kyosho stadium truck are they out yet any body know?

[4cells]

Will all trucks ---tenth and short course--- race together ?

Hasn't this already been answerred on this thread, on this page infact?

[shanks]

As the man says

No rules - trucks, truggies, 1/8 electric - last yr roger just slapped a round in with a mix of them all.

Sure he will do the same this yr and the more diversity the better

Roger can you confirm you would be ok with running an open class pal ?

ehhhhhhhh...............go-on then.

[jameswilkinson7]

Any discounts for running 2 classes? 2wd and oddball

[shanks]

ehhhhhhhh...............go-on then.:thumbsup:

There we are - thanks roger nice one pal :thumbsup:

It's official open class heat no rules

Anybody got a tamiya night hauler they want to damage !

Chris long - I imagine yr sc10 will be quicker than my slash - but I have to ask will it be as strong? No rules means no rules LOL - dugra man andy should be good at this class eh budfish ?

I'll get the misses down with her camera / video - this will make some cracking YouTube material !

What's the dearest car available for this class ? If Tyson joins in he will need to know LOL !

[qatmix]

cool, Midnight pumpkin might get a dusting down :)

[Si Coe]

No rules eh?

OK - screw the RC10T, I need a savage flux!

Anyway, I've provisionally entered this class, if it goes ahead and if it doesn't cost another £10 on top of my 4wd entry, which is why I appear on the booking in list as 4+.

So the class has its first entrant. Who else is going to step up?

[DaveG28]

Did someone say elec 8th is allowed. If so I may have to partake (plus pretty confident that will be the most expensive way :woot:)

[shanks]

DaveG28 - yes pal 1/8th electric is allowed in the class....anything goes

[Jonesy]

I will even do an Open Class points scoring, just for fun of course!!

[Si Coe]

Actually part of the argument I was working on for not having to pay the full £10 entry fee for the fun/trucks class was that it wouldn't be point scoring. I was even thinking that it wouldn't be raffle entering either.

Ie Race 2wd and 4wd, pay £20 and get two raffle tickets, plus trophy if you win etc. Race 4wd and Trucks only pay say £15, but also only get the one raffle ticket (for the 4wd) and no pots for wins in 'fun' class.

I don't know, maybe its just me. I love the idea, I want to take part, I just don't fancy paying a tenner each meeting just to dick around. But since the whole point is its not serious, we could make it cheaper and easier on Roger by dropping the 'serious' trappings.

This sounds about right.
I think we may get away with ONE raffle ticket per driver and £5 for each additional class. BUT I NEED TO KNOW BEFORE so I have time to sort the heats.

Well that saves me having to explain my cunning plan to you on Sunday at least :thumbsup:

I reckon its fair, and will make the racing fun. In which case can you change my 4+'s to 4+T's then!

I'm going trucking.......

(Yes Budfish I will be using 'that museum piece' as you put it:p!)

You mean that rc10t thing you was blasting? It might be old but it did look f**king tough so fair play to you sir!!!!

[MisterB]

I'm up for a race with ma Traxxas Slash too ... but it's straight out of the box - no manic 4.5T motor... so u won't finish last... unless you're PUSHED off the track !!

[Si Coe]

Knowing the enormous grudge match this class is going to become I don't think that the speed of your car will have any influence on where (or more critically if) you finish in any way!

Forget electric 1/8ths - the best choice for this class would be one of those Tamiya tanks!

[ryanlownie]

Tempted to bring a 1/16 E-Revo to this....
