Here's An Idea....

[Miggers]

Could this be organised by the Hinckley Retro boys?

A retro Mardave off road day?

There's a fair few on here that have these old stalwarts of the budget 1/10 racing days.

Apaches,Meteors,Cobras,(Metebras,Cobeors,Lobras,RC10bras,they're all Meteor or Cobra based hybrids,my own is a Cobeor),

the limits would have to be the motor,say a silvercan or a "Stock" 27 turn sealed can(mine runs a Parma Cyclone Stock 27turn)

and the battery,say a 6-cell NiCad.

Obviously,whether folks would run an ESC or some type of mechanical(Tamiya,Mardave,Kyosho or WHY)is entirely upto them.

Hinckley's grass track would be a great leveller I reckon.

What sayeth the massiv?

Hi Mark,

I'm up for any 'retro' racing within a sensible distance (I live in the midlands area).

I race at Hinckley regularly, both indoors (Quicksilver touring cars) and Retro Racers (outdoors buggies) - and I happen to own a couple of Meteors and a couple of Cobra's too! If you're thinking of the Hinckley club, the best person to contact is Jammer, who is a committee member there. I've suggested a Tamiya Club day before, but there wasn't interest. However, Mardave orginating from Leicester might be different.

But whatever day out is organised, it needs people to actually go. I've been to a few TC meetings where I found the numbers of members attending very disappointing. This type of day out is always very good, and would recommend attendance to any TC member (lets face it, if you pay £13 a year TC subscription, you're interested!). I hope this idea gets off the ground and is well attended.

If I can help, please send me a private email, and please let me know if the day goes ahead.

Cheers Simon
