Thanks for the info on dates, Jim. Starting to look like we might need to slip into Oct when the calender is slightly less full. 25th Sept - Clanfield club series 2nd Oct - Remote club series 16th Oct - Remote club series 23th Oct - Clanfield club series 30th Oct - BRCA AGM (not sure how many people would be attending this) So how does the 9th Oct sound to everyone? Really do not want it much later as likelihood of good weather is getting smaller. Rob

Ooh, this sounds like a good wheeze. I'd be in for a bit of enduro action, we'd have to have a 'dash across the track' Le Mans style start though
I'm sure a fair number of Clanners will be up for it, I'll make sure everyone knows at Slough on Sunday. |

Perhaps you could make it a single make, maybe just use a cheap RTR model and a shop have a stock of all spares (motors/speedo's etc) and just use the one car per team?

Cars get handed out an hour before the start of the race and you get that time to trim it out, glue a set of tyres on, drill a hole for transponder and change the battery connection if necessary. No other modifications allowed. Winning team get one of the knackered cars each instead of a trophy Be much more an endurance test as you'd have to drive carefully enough not to trash the car in the first hour. Main negative would be that the entry fee would need to be fairly high to pay for the cars - probably about £20 each to cover car and a set of decent tyres. I guess this would put a lot of people off?? Plus would cars be stupidily slow? Rob

RTR are quite quick, it's maybe something that a manufacturer might be keen on (or not!!!!) I'm sure people would stump up the cash as it would fun. At least if we all have the same car changing cells would be the same time for everyone, unless you had a mandatory 'pit stop' of 3 minutes.

i do really like the idea of a level playing field car wise. the only issue that crops up for me is if the speedo blows up, what do you do? Do you let a team member put in their own speedo and risk losing that too, or does the team have to stump up for an exact spec replacement part to keep the car "standard"?
Also most RTR cars come with wheel radios, so what about those who want sticks? Can you swap over the radio gear - assuming the whole team use sticks?

I have a mad rat rtr.
You'd need to ball race them - £10 The brushless rtr is actually pretty fast, the servo however makes an acoms as7 seem fast! You also have to spend a lot of time on the gearbox to free it up when ballracing it. The idler gear has to be filed down and some plastic taken off the gearbox to make it work well. Next time Im down I could try the car on standard tyres to see what they're like. As this is just a bit of fun I think mixed teams with own cars would be better. Take a look at the 24 hour thread for an example of the issues that using a spec car causes. As mentioned above the less rules the better. Less rules =more fun! |

Kit tyres in the Rat are a joke, no way you'd want to use them... although we could probably use them to handycap Mr Brown
