Default GT12 club - We are changing!

We've decided to change what we do at our Micro club in Hutton on a Tuesday night. For now we will be carrying on running Micros but due to a bit of interest and to breath a bit of new life into the club, we'll soon be running Circuit GT12's instead! (Schumacher Supastox and Mardaves). We'll keep you posted when this will happen, but we're just giving people the heads up.

We'll be keeping the racing cheap too and focusing on close competitive racing. The chassis I'll be going for will be the Schumacher Supastox which are pretty cheap at £100 new! - http://www.racing-cars.com/pp/Car_Sh.../SupaStox.html. For electrics, there will be a 13.5t motor limit that will be ran with no timing or turbo (blinky mode) with a 1S lipo that can be had from Hobbyking for just £15

We'll also be focusing on a championship, uploading all results and track pics via Facebook here - https://www.facebook.com/WORMGT12

There's nothing on there at the moment but I'll be working on some branding later, so click like on there to see our progress

I think you will find they are more than 80 notes when you follow your link. But im sure Rob can do some great combo deals at Southwest RC for anyone thinking of racing one!

This sounds great and I will talk to Rob and look at some sort of deal for WORM members. It might be that we do a deal on the kit and electric pack if ordered together......

Sounds Good

You showed the wrong car Dan??
That's the 6 cell version

You want K131 - 4 cell NiMh/1S Lipo Version.

Rob will normally do a deal if you buy the car and power kit he will throw in a free body shell

Can't wait

Micro's have been great at WORM but times change .. things change .. cars change !!

When we raced Mardaves before they resembled cars from the 80's ... Schumacher Supastox look ace !!! and much more up to date ....

Like Dan says ... the aim is close racing ... but no jumps

Thanks to everyone who came to our first GT12 meeting, a promising future for these things I think

Here's the first track. I had the TQ but well done to Dan Harding for the first win I'm sure there will be many close races in the future!
