Let's have some fun
 

What do you reckon?

I was thinking, (dangerous I know) for a bit of a laugh would anyone be interested in running these as a class?

The cars are £40 with a lipo and I bet if we order in bulk we could get a discount or free delivery.

In the class car must be remain stock (so no fiddling :thumbsup:) and run as a Bangers, so as the name suggests it is a full contact, crashing formula.

Yes, I said “banger” :lol:

Your thoughts ?????????

I'll stick with me buggy mate but seems like fun though

bring it on!!!
 

You know my thoughts on this already Muzzie .......
Put me down for one :thumbsup: and a bag of the inevitable spares for banger racing lol

Just to let you know.....uk warehouse is showing 7 in stock as of Monday 21st at 3.30 pm

They look great fun so count me in please. Yes iv asked the bill payer lol :thumbsup:

I'd be up for that as a bit of fun. Will have to paint are body shells different colours thow lol

Sticker bomb !!!

We've had 44 view but only 4 replies :p come on lads.....

Didn't think of that lol. Can we fit are own receivers in them thow so we can use are own transmitters. ?

Like your idea muz but looking at the reviews on h-king its not that hot a deal could we all be buying an almost disposable car especially if your thinking along the banger route , reading the reviews I think you would be better buying some cotton wool rather than a bag of spares but like I said good idea and im always up for trying some thing new (what about doing a heat for say cars 10 years + in age with brushed motors and NiCad packs) just another idea if like me you may already own the kit there is no outlay

It's got to be no more than £40 or I'm out :(

i'm in muzzy

Spare parts are cheap as chips.....a pair of front or rear wishbones are about 60p....gearbox assembly is less than £6! The only part i cannot see listed is a new bodyshell.
They work with your own radio as long as you have a micro receiver as space is limited.
Muzz, is there much difference between the standard car (green and black) and the extreme version (orange and black) apart from a few pounds cost and will both be eligible for our banger racing or just one?

i'm up for that muzzie. I crash a lot anyway:lol:

you had better make that 2 more muzzy, sounds like awesome fun lol. :p

With an order this size you'll get stung for VAT and handling charges.

That'll push the price up to £60+ per car.

Tony, the orange one is a ready to run so you're paying for the radio gear you'll never use. The car is the same.

If the rally car is anything like the 1/16 beetle monster truck thing then they are very weak and not up to the job of full contact racing. The body shells aren't lexan, they are pre-printed pvc. They don't crack, they shatter!

If you plan on using the ramps then ground clearance will be a huge issue. I can't imagine much more that 20mm with full pre-load (no droop).

What about running proper banger cars like this?

A small section of the track could easily be made into an oval, incorporating the timing loop.

Awesome, I already have a Mardave V12, I vote for that :-)

If you want to incorporate the ramps then these would make an awesome class!

If your gonna go banger racing, I vote for Mini Stox, they're built for the job and are cheap to buy and run. Ahh anyone remember the 80's :thumbsup:
