Vintage class at Summer Series
Just for a bit of fun over the summer we are adding a Vintage class to the Summer Series.
Rules will be very relaxed. We are looking at cars around 20 years old or older so cars like Losi XX, RC10s with the old gold/black aluminium chassis or anything else or a similar or older era. A few of us have already got Losi XXs so I think these might end up being the popular choice. We will also allow the re-released RC10 "Classic" to run. Motor/electrics/tyres choice completely open as we do not want people to go out and buy stuff specifically for this class but you may want to tone the motors down a bit as I am not sure some of these cars will appreciate 5.5T motors being bolted in. The talk is currently around 8.5T to 10.5T but I think even this will be too much for some older cars. As I say the idea is to keep it as relaxed and cheap as possible however we are aware what a competitive lot you are and if someone starts lapping people due to either overly competitive cars or in the case of Steve/Dan better thumbs I reserve the right to alter the start grid of the final significantly We already have at least 5 entrants with cars so this will happen. If you want to join in and do not have a suitable car speak to Steve Brown who may be able to assist. Please use this thread to let us know if/what you will being running preferable with pictures.

According to Wiki that was released in 1997 so nearly old enough and if you start beating me I'll just start you half a lap back in the final so all is good

I've got a Losi XX to run. I'd quite like to run an rc10 but I will see how the losi goes first. An old 93/94 4wd yokomo would be nice but I reckon I would spend my life replacing belts!!

For the last couple of Sundays i've been having some post-racing fun with my Schuey FireBlade Evo which was new in 2000, is this old enough?
To fully enter into the spirit of the occasion i'll be running brushed motors if that's any help ;-) Back in the day, by the time you'd finished washing your hair with Timotei under a waterfall in the Bahamas this is what your RC car would look like |

Any plans on the Vintage gig again this year? I have plans in the pipeline, such as doing the Iconic caper later in the year.
Planning on 4wd.

Still got my Losi XX and and will run it if enough entries to make a race of it. Think realistically though you are going to have to bring a vintage along as a second class on the basis that we will not know until the day if we have enough to make a heat. Rob
