Default Looking to Join for 2wd Off Road

Hi all,

Looking at re-joining a club and although I'm up in Oxshott; I think SHRCC will be my closest club for 2wd off road.

I am trying to create an account to get BRCA membership but the website doesn't seem to be working for new members/joining.

It would be good to come down and see what it's all about on one of your practice evenings.

I've just picked up a new VBC Firebolt from the classifieds on here and I am in the process off finishing it off with some brushless electrics (nothing fancy) and a shorty LiPo I had from my last car.

This setup certainly won't be competitive but it would be good to get my eye back in, if you like, on weekday evenings

Anything I should know about the club, membership etc? Would be good to get some tips on set up from some other racers. I don't even have a fast charger at the moment!

Hi,

Great stuff. We only had one vbc firbolt at the club and it went round very well. Chris at the club used it so oh should be able to get som good tips off him.

We are open every Thursday evening for racing, every other Tuesday for practice (open this Tuesday) and every other Sunday (open week on Sunday) for racing too.

Pop along and bring the buggy. I believe you are ok for the first 3 meetings without a brca license, after that you will need one.

Hope that helps.

Perfect - Thanks Dobber!

Parts I need to complete are unlikely to be here tomorrow so it looks like next Tuesday at the earliest.

Will drop the BRCA email if the website doesn't sort itself out in the next few days

I doubt I'll be quick and I'll be on a steep learning curve but I need a cheaper hobby than full size cars, which are costing me far too much!

Looking forward to it and thanks for the reply.

Thanks Keith

Have a couple more LiPos, fast charger, motor, ESC and pinions in the post somewhere!

It's all up and running as it is so I'll try and get down the next Tuesday practice.

Will that be the 22nd?
