Ellesmere Port has a good number of these racing in their own class. Looks like they have really taken off so you should definitely come along if you fancy a race!

Just thought I'd share my car and setup

Carisma gt14 pro
Front 45wt oil red springs
Rear 35wt oil yellow springs
Mini high speed servo (needed squeezing in but fast and cheap)
Tekin rage mini brushless motor 5.5kv (9t)
Overlander 2200mah 2s lipo
Tekin R1 esc
No servo saver
14t pinion
Currently on rubber tires (but will race on purple foams)
Mazda 6 shell

And two full spare cars

got another full 2 cars on way with other brushless motors in the deal and lots of spares which will help with racing setup

shouldn't need any parts ever again now i have that many!

Sounds perfect

What's the deal with marshalling as i currently cant do it as i lost my left foot and not a fast mover yet on prosthetic so wouldnt be able to get out of a cars way. im sure this will be okay but ill be in shorts so you will notice me easily straight away and show me the ropes on how the club operates?!

We will show you how the club runs when we see you. About half of us use pt's the rest use hand out transponders. Make yourself known to Lynn that runs the computer and mix in with everyone. Most of the Carisma gang tend to pit on the left of the stage/rostrum as you look at it.
See you there.
Simon.
PS it's £3.50 for the evening :-)
