RC Rallying

[farmboy]

In one of my random trawls through YouTube and the web, I've uncovered a load of stuff about RC Rallying - running 1/10th electric rally car over timed stages while the driver runs alongside.

Stuff like this

It seems to be big in the Czech Republic for some reason. Anyone know any more about it?

I think this has been discussed before - not sure, but someone might have actually taken part in some of that madness also.
It looks good - and might even keep ya a bit fitter haha. Tbh, I'd love to race some rally cars around a circuit (rallycross style) with scale bumps and jumps, not 10th buggy sized madness. Some close racing like touring cars but with actual off road fun.

Yeah, me too. Without having to run alongside in shorts and white socks.

Either of these would do the job..

Oooh that DF03ra integralle looks awesome - would only make sense if you could use it for some racing tho Sadly there's no rally fan dedicated enough to kick off some racing I don't think.
Really cool though - I'd love to do some scale racing with one of those, no crazy power brushless nuttyness tho. standard motors and cells.

I don't know, you could use 17.5T Brushless - it's what the Yanks do for their stock classes.

I am quite happy to put a heat on for rally cars if we get enough interest at our Indoor off-road championships. We have three rounds left although this saturday is a bit short notice especially as that integrale hasn't been released yet but there is a round in February and March.
