Just speaking to Rob in the shop and on the subject of the Micro-T's he suggested keeping it a stock class, everyone on the same specification rather like what they do with the Mardave's. That way you're all having good fun with an even playing field, the only difference being driver skill....

Default gt14b

If you are going to race micros the gt14b is the way to go. Just add lipo, change the pinion maybe springs and oil and off you go.
You can buy hopups but they arent really needed. Fantastic brushless system included. Youtube has some footage from the ukmicrox. The speeds are awesome.
You might find you like racing micro indoors instead of freezing your buds balls off.
Maybe some of your members wont like it, but im sure one wont be missed.

Default micro

I think for the winter, micro would be excellent for you guys indoor.
Theres a great micro forum, ukmicrorc. Also a very competitive national series.
I think you may be surprised by the laptimes these are capable of on a 1/10 track.
If you post on the micro forum, you will get a lot of help with track design etc, ive seen fantastic tracks in even really small spaces.
You cant race outdoors all winter, the weather simply wont allow it.
Is it sundays you race at bury? If so what time? Got a b4 that ive never even raced, and it needs racing.

See the trick is to let them rust first, then remove half the balls so I can produce twice the amount of bearings!

Anyone who's ever driven at Cheadle will know you don't really need a lot of space to run a 1/10th car. Their whole hall (pits and race control included) is smaller than Ribble Valleys track alone. I'd say half a tennis court for the track in total.
BUT
Whilst you could use your Durango, you'd soon find on such a small track (longest straight is only 5-6m) that your fancy 6.5t motor is actually a hindrance. And its not just a case of 'I'll turn it down' or 'I'll go gently' - the reason different winds exist at all is that in these cases a milder motor just works better. As you can tell, the older hands here are talking about 20t plus (brushed - so 13.5t and upwards brushless) motors as the weapon of choice for tiny tracks. So you get a 13.5t- and spend what? £50-60 for one of the cheaper brands.
And the next week, someone will turn up with the previously mentioned GT14B or similar and run rings around you because its better suited to the track.
At Cheadle I found my Cat with an Ezrun 9t was much better than my D4 with a 5.5t Novak -but my RC18T was even quicker (when it worked!).

If you want an indoor track you can use your current car in its present configuration in it needs to be no smaller than Roundabout were using.
