Still racing tamiya minis?
Hi all.
I used to race at the club about 4 years ago but i had to stop due to moving away. I am now back and just wanted to know if the club still races tamiya minis and if it is still popular? Ive had a look on the website but i can only see rules for 1/10th TC's and 1/12th GT + mardaves. If not, i will probably look at getting a supastox kitted up to start out again Thanks |

Hi
The club is pretty much 1/10 Touring, GT12 (mix of Mardave and Supastox) although there are a couple of mini's now and again that run with the GT12s. At the moment there is usually 3-4 heats of GT12 and the 2-3 for Touring. For GT12 we are running 2s-21.5t or 1s-13.5t although the majority are running 2s setups. Hope this helps |

Hey Pieman, I can only assume you'll be coming to speak to Simple Simon
If you still have a mini you can certainly bring it tomorrow and race, but they are well off the pace of the GT12s. You can't go far wrong with a SS, they are now much more popular than Mardaves at the club. But Mardave cars can still keep up, I still run one. I think the best move would be SS, with diff, on the right tyres, with 2S shorty LiPo and 21.5T. But you'll see what's what tomorrow. |

But yeah my preference will be a 2s setup as i already have a few shorty lipos. Havent really decided over a mardave or SS yet. Is any mardave platform allowed? |

Hi Pieman,
the're still a few familiar faces from 4 or so years ago. You can approach anyone at the club and all will be happy to help you get back into it. Good luck and see you at Glos soon
