Another great day out. Well done to the guys from Carine RC club that not only allowed us to use their track, but even arranged a BBQ for us this time. Had some good running, but this time spent more time marshalling or taking pics.

The Egress race pics (2 cars!) were plentiful. I've added the better ones below.

Roll on the next event, even if its just a bash near the airport.

A re-release RC10 made it to the races. Hotshot in the background. Spot the Boomerang :-)

And here's a quick vid of matman running a practice lap with his Egress, just before he had us all searching the track for a lost shock spring. :lol:

Great shots Muz and cool vid. I was really impressed with the turn out of cars. The extra input from the Carine guys makes a huge difference. I'm stoked with how keen they are and some of the quality vintage they have.

I agree the Carine rcc guys input was a big help & Adrian's idea of running a stock vintage class on club days could be fun.

Some more great pic's & a good vid , thanks Madmuz77 .

Yer , the club guys are not into the politics of the world today .

All they want is to have some good old fashion RC fun .

I wish i didn't have 400 + k's to get up there , as i would be there

every race meet .

+ Dave want's to do the vintage stock 540 class & i would be in for that .

Come on guys that live there , get it happening . For the sake of RC nut's .

:lol:.

Cool stuff in here guys. 540 & lipo in vintage racing is awesome. If you haven't already, have a look at some of the vintage festival vids on youtube put up by Ed. They really are quick and good to drive at that speed. It also generated some pretty entertaining racing

I totally agree. I ran my Astute with a 540 silver can and 2S LiPo at this event and it was great fun. Much better than when I had 10t brushless in it.

Hey guys,

Here's a link to the vintage at Carine thread.

http://www.rctech.net/forum/australian-racing/775771-vintage-carine-perth-wa.html

We're planning to run a regular vintage class if we get 4 or more cars.

Check out RC tech for the rules.

Hope to see some of you there.

Cheers

David

Thanks for posting Dave. I can't make it in December but I will be interested next year for sure.

matman, go the Yellow Fury Egress. I can't wait to see that on the track.

Check out this link to Vintage 540 rules for Carine on post #39. Black cans are allowed and with 2S should be great fun.

To slow stock 540 , I have 13.5 & that feels slow & i'm happy with that .

I was taking to Dave on friday & no one used a 540 stock .

Now it says pre 1991 , so does this include re re's ?.

It should be brushless , 13.5 or even 17.5 & li-po .

Most of use have them & use them .

Will see how it goes .

Sounds like a plan, count me in.

As for motors the slowest brushless I have is a 8.5,

for stock class though I'm fine with running a black can on 2s.
