    BRCA Rules

    in RC Racing Talk

    Posted

    Just been looking at the BRCA rules. Am I right in interpreting the rules so that only certain types/makes of battery are permitted? What if i want to race but don't have approved cells? It seems ridiculous that having a different make of batteries could mean you can't race...or is this the case?

    UK Eurocup - Hire Car

    I think this looks like a great idea. Good luck mate and well done.

    I'm 26 not 14 and I'd pay if only for the advice.

    This is a very expensive hobby. No two ways about it. £45 is about the same as you would spend doing any of the following:

    Paintballing

    Go Kart Racing

    Clay Pigeon Shooting

    And this sounds a million times more fun.

    UK Indoor Racing - South West?

    I live in Bristol (UK) and am desparate to race 1/10 touring indoors. I live in Bristol and am prepared to travel to Cheltenham/Gloucester/Swindon/Tiverton/Exeter/Weston/Bath area. Anyone have any links or contacts in these areas. It must be indoors as I don't want to ruin my kit with outdoor racing, and it's not weather permitting so you can race all year round etc.

    Thanks in advance. SOrry for the flood of posts.

    Hi guys. Having a mare this afternoon...when i turn my car on (TC3) and the transmitter the steering goes left. Even with the steering trim i can't get it straight. the servo horn is a screw on type, not the sort you jam on like with tamiyas. Any ideas? Do i unscrew and reposition then tighten the screw?

    Thanks in advance. Hope you are all well.

    Help needed tuning

    Thanks for the help before. Much appreciated. I have a further question:

    if the pinion on the motor needs fewer teeth for immediate speed with low top speed, and the reverse for a pinion with more teeth - what about the cog (large one) actually inside the car. The one with 60 odd teeth. What kinds of combinations produce the best results?

    thanks again. Jules

    hi guys. how does it work? does a cog with fewer teeth on it (attached to my motor) go faster than one with lots of cogs? physics was never my strong point. I'd appreciate any help on this one! thanks in advance. J

    I have a midnight pumpkin and it's <please no adult words, also kids read this forum> ace! 2wd. big wheelies and great for scrambling about. Not complicated to fix and fairly solid. Its got good ground clearance - enough to go along into the sea and rivers etc. Also recommend Blackfoot for similar reasons.

    TT-01 Discussion

    I have a TT-01 and have spent 6 months modifying it. The only things that make a difference in my opinion are: motor - go for a 10 turn one (pay no more than £20/$40 on ebay), a no limit speed controller (ditto price, this will cope with any motor), steel bearings for the insides and wheels, and good tyres (the ones that come withathe TT-01 are only good for indoors on a smooth surface. Everything else you can buy will help the car last and might make it a bit lighter, but will cost loads. Ebay is the absolute best place to buy from, and there are lots of reliable worlde sellers out there.
