Great day, thanks guys.
You drove well today Mikey, my setup tips must have worked! I seemed to be quick, but couldn't string it all together for more than the one run! very pleased with the 10 lapper. |

Loving the racing today, I think we're the grip had come right up the extra speed was making consistent runs a real challenge (as it should be!). The Ansmann was going well, specially once Cammers pointed me at a better tyre choice. Think I need a lower turn motor if I run it over the summer, the 8.5 is getting dragged on the straights.
Had a play with the 'Rango after the racing and it's an awesome bit of kit. Need to open the holes up in the shocks a little, and the mini-pins were grip-roll-tastic but putting that aside it's easy to tell how good it is to drive. Top job to all involved in running the meeting, much appreciated guys. |

Help
I want to get back into racing but have not got a clue on where to start
after coming down and watching you lot race it looked very quick!!! What motor, ESP,charger, radio gear and car to buy I am a bit tight so I want to do this on a buget? £200 would it be best to buy second hand? Or new? Two and four wheel |

It'll be 2nd hand and for reducing costs I'd go with 2WD. Plenty of good stuff on the for sale section here on Oople. If you are really really on a tight budget maybe a brushed set-up. Certainly more maintenance, but cheaper etc. SteveB looks after a number of members brushed motors for a fee. I know also a number of racers are racing the Annsman Madrat, but I can't comment really about the car having never owned or raced one. My vote would be Associated B4. |

Great day today, very relaxed, and the sunshine was out too . Didn't do aswell as I was hoping but did ok considering I've not driven since 2nd January. A proper close battle between myself and Lee Davies resulting in me losing out on 3rd by 4/100s of a second.
Top mornings racing guys. Thumbs up.

Good luck with the Madrat's
There are a number already racing, so best to speak to these guys etc. Not a car I can provide accurate advice on etc. |

I reckon you would get a cheap brushed set up for around the £200 mark, just need to bear in mind, how good your are and are you planning to race long term, as saving a little longer, is well worth waiting for brushless and lipos, pick up a cheap car anywhere not the issue, the electrics do the damage Put up a wanted request on Oople and see what comes your way. Best of luck getting some equipment, any advice just ask or PM is best. Thanks Steve |

A great meeting considering the amount of people racing than usual, the running of the meetings becomes allot more demanding trying to keep everyone on happy, but I think most had a cracking day and its great when the Sun shines
Nice to see more new faces at the club today, some really close racing with the 4WD B final being an excellent close race, with Mr Hollyoak's commentary and great racing all round. Well done to the drivers and great respect to support to Torch Thanks Steve |

There's a blog of my day on line at http://mrmagoo-rc.blogspot.com/2011/...-sunshine.html for them's as interested.
I've got some video footage of the 4wd A final to upload in the next day or so once BT get my Infinity hooked up. At 500Mb it takes too long to upload using vanilla broadband! |

Mind you I get about 6Mbps with Sky at present so have no real need for the speed. Just got a bit of a LAN at home with ESX etc running an AD/Exchange solution etc. Also got Apple TV etc recently too. So when is the Rango getting a run and did it survive shake down? |
