We are currently building an off road track on our site in Wrexham which is due for completion in May. In the mean time we are starting an indoor buggy club night starting from the 20th Feb. I have been busy building jumps and ramps for this new track and its starting to take shape.:thumbsup:

So here's whats happening:

Location - Wrexham Model Car Club
Classes - ANY!!!!!!!
Cost - £2 (First Night Free, so EVERYONE on the Wednesday races free!)
Catering - Cans, chocolate, crisps, tea & coffee all available

Their has been alot of interest in this at our club and we should have a good turn out.

All are welcome so please come along!! :)

Adrian Jones (Race Director)

[Jamie B4]

Thats great news, the area needs a club as Mold are nitro and oswestry sometimes is a bit far. Hope to get to the club as often as possible

[franki]

Thats fab!!!! will the out door track be avalable to test on (to members) once complete??

[ashleyb4]

we want a dirt track

A

[Kopite]

no no no, astro astro astro :):thumbsup:

[k£v!n]

I like the idea of a dirt track!

[Kopite]

i like the idea of a huge indoor arena, purpose built clay track, fit women rollerblading around the track at all times, and southern fried chicken stands trackside (will settle for a KFC).

wouldn't Astro be relatively cheap (i say relatively) and not too hard to source? What is the plan for the track anyway? If you need any labour, let us know :)

[ashleyb4]

If you need any labour, let us know :)

HAHA you do work

A

[Kopite]

you're right Ash, i'll save my energy for KICKIN YOUR ASS

[ashleyb4]

lol :lol::lol::lol:

A

[matdodd]

You up for a trip down Stan? What time does it start Adrian?

[AdrianJones]

Not sure what the outdoor track will be yet, I spoken with the members who are building it and their are up for a multi surface track including dirt, astro, etc. We are getting one of the members JCB onsite to landscape the track so it should be a multi level track and not just on one level.

The indoor track is well on its way to being completed. so far we have a small wall of death, a few small ramps, a medium ramp and we shall also hopefully be building a curved banked corner, and some corigated surface.

We are going to run it as a normal club night times so I shall be their from 5:30pm, racing starts at 7pm till 10pm depending on numbers and heats

We are going to run the normal 2WD and 4WD and any motors and batterys inc LiPo (normal precautions for LiPo though!!)

[ashleyb4]

Cool i hope to pop along one of these next few weeks havent been to wrexham in over 2 years now.

[neiloliver]

Lat time I was at Wrexham car club was 1988 i think... BCL with my Hot Shot II.

[ashleyb4]

Back in the day ;)



P.S. neil where's my soldering iron!!!

A

[franki]

Well i am going to be poping down!!!!! :woot:

[AdrianJones]

So correct me if I am wrong then, from what I have read these people might be attending :

Jamie B4
Matdodd
Stan (Matdodd's friend)
ashleyb4
franki

We have a few of our club members also interested so it should be a good night. Last time I counted their is about 6 maybe more from our club attending. I have the local hobby shops pushing the evening and they have not confirmed any numbers to me yet.

DONT FORGET THE FIRST NIGHT IS FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I am going down again tonight to build some more ramps and also to have a play on my wall of death with the B4.........

[Davidagriffinuk]

Myself and my bro will try to get there as often as we can

[RLGfx]

most likely i'll be there too.... trying to break something....

[Chris Doughty]

steer clear of the curigated stuff, its either not noticable and not worth the effort to put in, or its so random its just rubbish to race with.

corigated surface adds nothing 'nice' to any track for 10th off-road.

everything else sounds brilliant!

try and add in some landing ramps too, lots of satisfaction gained from hitting a nice downramp when landing a jump.

[Phil Channon]

I will try and come down too.

[Kopite]

Stan (Matdodd's friend)

I'm not Mat's mate, he's my BITCH!

looking forward to it, be like the good old days :woot:

[franki]

It will!!!! it will be fun. Apart from the fact that i will be older and fatter he he

[andy05]

Think i will be coming down aswell:)

[Jamie B4]

Yeh! I'm a definate, can't turn this oppartunity away - more practice. Also its on a wednesday about the only day in the week free

[DaveG28]

I'll try and make it some weeks to, although travelling from stoke at 6 may run a bit late!!


Dave

[Fiddybux]

Brilliant news. Brilliant news.

I've been looking for something good to do mid-week and this will fit the bill nicely. Nice one!

I will certainly be venturing along...and I hope this becomes very popular.

Travelling from Warrington during rush our might be a problem...but I've done it before now with tourers so should be good!

Nice one.

Cheers for the advice about the corigated surface!!

this is a new venture for our club so the track and its obsticles are in development. So far we have the following

Wall of death
15" Ramp
Half Moon ramp
Corner ramp

To be developed :

another half moon ramp
curved banked wall of death corner unit
Table top
Rythm Section

Its all about getting time and materials. Anybody have any ideas and we would be more than happy to try them.

So far my list of people who said they will try and attend are :

Jamie B4
Matdodd
Stan (Matdodd's friend)
ashleyb4
franki
Davidagriffinuk + Brother
RLGfx
Kopite
andy05
Jamie B4
DaveG28
Fiddybux
Myself
Matt Brown
Adrian Prince
Steve Prince
Mark Poole
Steve Parker

plus anybody else who wants to come along!!

I was at the club tonight relaying the track in preperation for the 20th. We have a nice open flowing track which we can tweek on the night if people want to make changes. I would recommend a small pinion though as their are only 2/3 parts where you are going to be at full throttle at any point and for a brief period. Over the next few weeks I might extend the wall of death by making it double the height and a little wider.

[franki]

this will be fun not raced since may 2006 at the welsh GP!!!!!!

Are most using 2wd or 4wd what motors etc??

[AdrianJones]

2WD for me (B4)

I know sounds daft but I am going to be running my 6.5 brushless and my LiPo battery. Tyres are going to be worn down Schumacher Mini pins.

Gonna run my 6.5 because its the slowest motor I got, 4.5 would be WAY to fast. I should be sensible and put a 19T in it instead but I aint got one!

[franki]

Think i may go down the 19turn road until i get the hang of things again!!!!!

And will be using my x11 i think as i dont have a 2wd :-(

[Fiddybux]

I'm considering using the 5.5 brushless in the X5 and gearing down for punch, but that will just make things super hot super quick...so I reckon I'll roll with a 10x2 or maybe 13x2 in the ZX-5.

Will be running worn yellow mini pins because I'm too tight to put a new set on after the Sunday prior to the Wednesday! Plus with the 4WD grip usually isn't so much of problem.

[AdrianJones]

just got confirmation from the school I work in that I can have 20 old crash matts for the clubs new track. Their not the blue type but are foam surfaces on both side, these should provide a nice feature on the track. I got 20 of them so we have lots of options!

[Sion Wedley]

I should be able to attend ade with my b4

thats providing the wife will let me :woot:

[Jamie B4]

Are details about the wednesday available yet are we still at the same venue- its just with you mentioning school mats? are we still opposite kelloggs on the wxm ind est, where the onroad track is?

[Sion Wedley]

Are details about the wednesday available yet are we still at the same venue- its just with you mentioning school mats? are we still opposite kelloggs on the wxm ind est, where the onroad track is?

yeah thats the place, is till there.

ade is a teacher and was saying that the school that he works in has spare matts that we could use in the club for our track

[AdrianJones]

We are definatly still at our Wrexham site opposite Kellogs.

Just on my way to the club AGAIN all day as we are extending (IN EVERY WAY) our corner wall of death. Its gonna be huge!!!!!!!

[Sion Wedley]

Must say ade, i thoroughly enjoyed my self last night at wrexham

expecially in the finals, the jumps coming towards the rostrum were spot on and the wall of death straight after was ace

keep up the good work :thumbsup:

[AdrianJones]

just come home from the club, been working there for the past two days on the ALL NEW banked corner wall of death, photos to follow in an hour!!

:EDIT

Here we go! ->

Going back their tomorrow to make some fine adjustments and finishing touches but I run my B4 round this and it is truly AWSOME! take it too low and it throws your car out of the corner at high speed so you get some speed coming off the ramp. Take it high and you get a satisfying wall ride! It needs widening another section on the down ramp which I am going to do tomorrow! You guys that are coming are gonna really REALLY love this feature!!!!

[AdrianJones]

Pictures posted! ENJOY!!!!

[twisty]

Wormtastic,this is looking great,keep at it folks :thumbsup:

[biggusditchus]

Looking great Ade, the sooner my durga arrives the better! Mind you reckon the tamtech buggy champ could be fun on there

[Fiddybux]

That wall of death was just what was needed....some proper welsh boy madness! :) Bendigedig Adrian!

[AdrianJones]

Just got home now from being at the club all day. The Wall of death is now wider to help with coming down the ramp! had fun playing with the following cars on it:

Mardave V12
TA RC18R
Tamiya Avante MK2
Tamiya TT01 Tourer
Tamiya TT01 Drifter
TA B4

every car was ace and managed to reach the top of the ramp, even the Mardave with a bit of a run up!!

Going back to the club tomorrow again to build some low long ramps. and hopefully some down ramps for the other existing jumps. Maybe even a table top would be nice!

Keep you all posted

[telboy]

Is this all in the hall at the outdoor track near the kellogs factory?

If so, I've not stepped foot in there in years. The last time I was in there it was packed with people for a wedding reception or something and they had the boxing on the TV, think chris eubank was fight some welsh bloke.....and of cousre my bro was cheering for eubank....and getting some, not so nice looks from the welsh locals!! :lol:........so we left quickly when eubanks won.

:lol:

Looking good though.:thumbsup:

[ashleyb4]

yup all in thelittle tiny hall so is it on this wednesday?

A

[Fiddybux]

I don't think it's on until the 20th Feb.

I'm pretty sure of that.

[AdrianJones]

I don't think it's on until the 20th Feb.

I'm pretty sure of that.


Yup the 20th is correct, still got some work to do before we start racing. I want the track to be sorted and if we raced tonight it would not be right.

[mattbrown]

Well..

After a short moped trip to the club with racing gear on board!

I decided to try the wall of death, when taken properly is very very good and truly is a work of genius, when your me its rely rely bad.

When playing silly F***ers i decided to see if a 30ft long wall ride was possible resulting in the whole rear end being torn off, not good!

Then some zip ties and superglue later it was round 2 and this time tore the whole front end off!

Total broken today:

Front hub
Front c-hub
Front arm brace
Front shock tower
Front steering rack holder/front brace holder thingy
Graphite chassis
Rear drive shaft
Rear c mount
Rear hinge pin brace
Rear chassis piece

I MUST stress it isn't a car killer just i was doing extremely extremely stupid jumps.

Hope to see you all there and pics to follow.

I'm more concerned with the blatant use of Win-blows XP.

Get a real OS like Ubuntu for crying out loud. Best thing is that it's free and it works.

You must have been going full tilt on some crazy angle to cause that kind of damage....well done!

Yes he was! he even ripped the old fire alarm off the wall! As usual with Mr Brown its flat out all the time. He is not happy unless he breaks it.

[bodgit]

isnt the firealarm about 8 foot off the floor1935

[mattbrown]

Well actually i do use kubuntu!

But xp as a back up,

Its not my computer its the family one so has to be "special person" friendly.

It WILL be fixed for wedneday.:D:D:D:D

Matt

[AdrianJones]

isnt the firealarm about 8 foot off the floor1935

It sure is! the ramp is over 6ft the roof is about 10ft maybe a bit more. He aint hit the roof yet! I did on the old ramp which was 3ft high using my B4 needless to say it bounced off the roof and broke a front arm :thumbsup:

The new banked corner wall of death was never designed to hit flat out, you need to learn how to drive it and then slowly build up your speed. Go too fast though and you will over shoot the downramp (Which goes along the wall 15ft). Bit of practice and you can easily achieve a satisfying 10ft wall ride!!!

[Dave Bailey]

i'll be there on the 20th Ade,
my brother told me how Matt Brown distroyed another b4.
is it still ok for me to have a go of your avante on the night mate

Erm, should this really be in this bit of the forum? :confused:

[Mrs oOple]

Erm, should this really be in this bit of the forum? :confused:

I've moved the D4 post into the for sale forum, but forgot to leave a re-direct. oops!

[AdrianJones]

Right ok, the day is near and I need to do some final preperations at the track ready for our first night of racing.

Here is the plan, from 6pm I shall be at the club on the TUESDAY night where I/WE will be relaying the track and ramps. There is going to be:

Me
Matt Bailey
David bailey (Maybe)
anyone else who can help out

this will also involve a little play to ensure the track flows correctly and the ramps are positioned correctly.

if anyone would like to help out and have a sneeky little play then please come along I will be their from 6pm till about 9pm.

I just hope people enjoy themselfs on Wednesday evening and come back each week then when the outdoor track is finished in May we have members to play outside:thumbsup:

[rcdunk]

would love to come and have a play but they are inducing the wife into labour on wednesday night (no honest ) may pop down for a quick look as she will be in wrexham hosptial

good luck with the night hope all goes well for you

[hickston]

[AdrianJones]

Hi the postcode is LL13 9JU, we are on the Wrexham industrial estate opposite Kellogs. I will be their from 5:30 and racing starts at 7. Looks like it will be a good turn out. When the outdoor track is finished we will move straight out!!!!

[AdrianJones]

Right I am finishing work now, I am going up to the club from here so I see any of you their to sort the track out! If you dont come tonight for a play then I shall see you all tomorrow night!!!

[Fiddybux]

Just getting the car ready Adrian.

Loads of the people I persuaded to come along and dropping out for various reasons. Shame, but can't be avoided for some.

I'm still coming anyway and looking forward to it.

By the way, do you have power?

And are you setup for AMB personal transponders?

Thanks.

[quincey]

there's plenty of power points in the club,and yes pt are catered for as ade himself uses one.
just got to rebuild my car and i will be there too.

[Fiddybux]

Ok...great!

Are the power points in the room next to the track as usual?

And are the benches still there, so no need to bring a pit table?

Sorry for the massive barrage of questions, but finally, is it 7pm start / practice or get-in? Trying to plan my way around traffic from Warrington that's all.

[AdrianJones]

Sorry for the massive barrage of questions, but finally, is it 7pm start / practice or get-in? Trying to plan my way around traffic from Warrington that's all.

Yes we have sockets all round the room and their are pit benches in place. The only benches without power are in the middle of the room.

All you need to bring is your race gear.

I have laid the track out this evening which can be tweeked on the night depending on what people think. This is my first track I have laid so it might need changing slightly.

See you all tomorrow!!

PS: Doors open when I get their at 5:30 and racing starts at 7pm. People can book in from when I open the doors.

[b4rs]

thats friggin ace, wish i lived in wrexham, and i had a teacher whose intersted in rc cars!

[AdrianJones]

[AdrianJones]

Right ok, If any of you coming tonight get stuck or lost and need to phone somebody to ask directions then anyone can phone me after 3:30 today

My number is : 07971325598

PS if you are coming tonight but will be later than 7pm and still want to race then phone me and I can book you in.

[Fiddybux]

Well just got back from Wrexham and have got to say it was a good laugh. Great job everyone. :woot:

Will definitely come back at some point, and really looking forward to the completion of the outdoor track. 45m x 35m is a great space to have - you lucky Wrexham folk!

Here's some action shots - pretty crap quality sorry.

[AdrianJones]

Can I just say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who attended!!!

After tonight from speaking with people, we are going to have another building weekend! We are HOPEFULLY going to build a table top and a double ramp which will be a substantial size!!

Everyone seemed to have fun especially playing on the new WALL OF DEATH!

The response from people was they are going to come back next week for more fun.

See you all next week!

[biggusditchus]

Well after coming down to the race night for drifters on friday and trying my buggy champ on wall of death I have to say its stunning cant wait for 5th March when i can make it.

Have to say the alarm sensor is in a daft place (only a few feet above the planking LOL) I now have a bust buggychamp:thumbsup:

[dan r]

looks a really good track might look at trying it 1 day its a bit far tho:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[AdrianJones]

Matt Bailey and myself built a new ramp on Saturday ready for this Wednesday. The new ramp is 8ft long and 6'6 wide and looks like a double with a kicker on the on ramp and a landing ramp.

Dont forget buggy racing is every Wednesday!!!!

[Fiddybux]

Got a pic Adrian?

[b4rs]

would love to come down but i live up in west yorkshire so i doubt i could make it lol.

looks good. though.

[AdrianJones]

Got a pic Adrian?

Yes......... on my camera in the boot of my car about 1 mile away! Will try and upload it tonight!

[AdrianJones]

Got a pic Adrian?

I have now!

Looks great, good work... looking forward to attacking it with a variety of cars :thumbsup:

[craigosh]

Do you run that right to left in the pic??? cause how do you hit the downslope otherwise as the left isnt as steep as the right :o

[AdrianJones]

Do you run that right to left in the pic??? cause how do you hit the downslope otherwise as the left isnt as steep as the right :o

At the moment we are running it right to left but the kick is mega if you hit it hard! nice and easy and it rides ace. the ramp is not in the middle of the track at the moment, we were up their last night laying the track for tonight and this new ramp is on the back straight just before the WALL OF DEATH!!!

[Fiddybux]

I really wanted to come tonight to try that new jump, but it's unrealistic for me to get over by 7pm.

Maybe if it was 7.30pm start that would be much better for me, but I understand that people probably can't stay late either and the later we start the later it goes on.

Is there any room for manouvere?

See you next week guys!

[bodgit]

Do you run that right to left in the pic??? cause how do you hit the downslope otherwise as the left isnt as steep as the right :o
if you hit it fast enough you clear the second hump and land on the gym mat, great if you get it right or like me you hit the marshalls chair 2086

[Fiddybux]

Will you be starting at 7.30pm next week Ade?

[AdrianJones]

Will you be starting at 7.30pm next week Ade?

if you want me to then yes

[Fiddybux]

Well if its ok with everyone else, then great.

[AdrianJones]

Dont forget guys Buggy racing tomorrow :D (Wednesday)

got a new ramp for you all to try!!

See you tomorrow

[biggusditchus]

Well got 3 buggies ready to hammer round, Durga, Buggy Champ and Yokomo SD12 TR see you there.

[Fiddybux]

I'll be there by 7.30pm..

Carl

[Davidagriffinuk]

[tony12795]

[MarkP]

Hows the outdoor track coming on?? Im looking to koin but still deciding on a suitable car, Ive been offered a 1/8 nitro rallycross car but cant find many places to race it local, may have to settle for a mardave v12 for now or maybe both!!:cry:

[Tansley]

Hi, i've been told that Wrexham have 10th Electric buggy racing. I've tried but can't find there web site to get any details, any info you can offer would be appreciated.

[johnnyrchornet]

hey i'm based in chester and i just got my first r/c - don't laugh its a tamiya hornet i would love to get into bashing about with you guys, just wondering whether the (indoor) off road track with the wall of death on wednesdays is still going and whether you guys need anyhelp building the outdoor track (just give me a spade and i'll dig for hours) i dont have my own transport so i dunno how i would get to the industrial park; do any buses run that way or could someone give us a lift?!?

[mcd_racer]

Hello to all.........

The 'OFF ROAD' out door track is a project the club is working on and will be advertised as and when it is finished, there is still alot of preperation work and design to do, the club is dealing with this.

Here at Wrexham Model Car Club we are moving towards providing a club which caters for as many differnt classes of RC racing as possible.

We are currently building an off road track on our site in Wrexham which is due for completion in May. In the mean time we are starting an indoor buggy club night starting from the 20th Feb. I have been busy building jumps and ramps for this new track and its starting to take shape.:thumbsup:

So here's whats happening:

When - Every Wednesday starting Wednesday 20th Feb 2008
Location - Wrexham Model Car Club
Classes - ANY!!!!!!!
Cost - £2 (First Night Free, so EVERYONE on the Wednesday races free!)
Catering - Cans, chocolate, crisps, tea & coffee all available

Their has been alot of interest in this at our club and we should have a good turn out.

All are welcome so please come along!! :)

Hello I've looked on the Wrexham model car club website it seems like it hasn't been updated in along time. Also people dont seem to know much about it anymore lack of information about alot of it.

I'm wandering whats going on with this Wrexham club. I've checked Mold and Oswestry car modeling clubs they seem to be up to date and better informed with whats going on with there clubs.

as far as I know this is the situation they race indoors on a friday night in bradly not too far from where the on road track is
but they have struk a deal with the new land owner of the location of the outdoor track and they are looking at running race meeting there this summer probably gonna be friday night and if there is enough interest maybe weekend meetings too
this is only what I have heard from people who go there
as for the other two clubs in the region mold is very quiet last winter and first few months of this year not no one has been turning up and with only 3 of us there it is more effort than ever to set up the track and put it away so we have had to call it a day if we can get definate yes,s of people turning up it will gladly be started up again

owestry is the most active club at the moment from what I can gather not been there for a long time due to a clash with other commitments but is an excellent club and probably best bet for off road

Hello Pete,
Can i just Start with saying currently, i'm on the commitee for wrexham model car club. It is indeed still running, though things have changed somewhat. The website that you've no doubt seen is the old site (which we have struggled unsuccesfully to get off the previous committe) hence a new basic website has been set up (www.wrexhammodelcarclub.webs.com).

Currently as RCDUNK says, we race indoors at Bradley Village Hall racing mardave V12's and Carisma's mainly, with the odd 12th or whatever people wish to bring as we can always fit you in!

For off road classes, i'd definately agree with Dunk that oswestry is more popular, but overall, the Wrexham club at present is certainly just as popular!!

It is true that we are currently in talks with the current outdoor track owner (the track on the industrial estate), its pretty much certain that we will be racing there this upcoming outdoor season, however a few details need to be finalized as yet and i'm not at liberty to discuss them here at the moment.

If your interested in joining us for a friday nights racing (7-10) then come on down!

if mark stanley or matt dodd can lend me some bits can i come and have a go ?:thumbsup::thumbsup:

I really hope this comes off. I've been lucky enough to visit Wrexham with the BTCC and loved every trip there (the smell of cornflakes from the Kelloggs factory when you wake up on Sunday morning.... :thumbsup:) and the track layout is one of my favourites.

Good luck guys. :D
