super gripper 419 Posted July 21, 2015 yes the Kumamon Buggy is permitted, it is only a Sand Rover with a different driver so there are no issues 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

super gripper 419 Posted September 12, 2015 more on the lunchtime wheelie race ................ We have every intention of a 'wheelie race' at lunchtime, BUT, that is totally based upon time permitting only, its not guaranteed. The intended race is for Tamiya Lunchbox/Pumpkin/WR type chassis cars only, no other chassis or makes (i.e. no Schumacher Wildcat, Marui etc). The format of the race is to be confirmed, but we are considering having small teams, with a 'relay' / 'team-tag' style format. I must re-iterate, entry into the wheelie race is only open to booked DT-02/3 event drivers only (i.e. those who have pre-booked and paid, with confirmed BRCA as above). The track is only open for use by booked-in DT-02/3 drivers only, and the use of DT-02/3/wheelie cars only. No other persons, or other cars are permitted to use the track on this event day. The school does not allow any use of rc cars at all within their surrounding grounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

super gripper 419 Posted September 21, 2015 Ok people, thank you to all those who booked in on time.The wheelie event at lunchtime has always only been a bit of fun.So this year we will be having a tag team event.Pick your partner and race as teams of two.Basically you do one lap and tag your partner in the designated area and then they do one lap and so it will continue for ten minutes.... Only Tamiya wheelie cars are permitted. ​ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SRB Bloke 237 Posted September 28, 2015 Another great event at Surrey & Hants track. Massive thanks to Lee, Simon and all the guys from SHRCC..... I can't believe we have such great weather every year. :) For those of you who don't know my history at this event, its not be great. Every year I am plum last this year was no exception. Its always the same things 'electrical problems/interference'. Every year I buy a completely new set up, motor, esc, servo, tx, rx and batteries. This year I managed to complete 3 full heats before the problems started (nothing was even touched in the car) but after that they came back with vengance. So in the last heat and final I barely got past the first corner. So I packed everything away and I think thats it for me. Then when I got to work this morning I took the car out of the boot, just turned it on UNTOUCHED from yesterday. And you guessed it, it ran like a dream. I put two more batteries through it straight after each other.. Not one glich.....how can I try and mend something that doesn't happen when I run it. Does anyone think the hand out PT's could be upsetting my system and why does it only happen now and then... ???? I've just added up everything I've spent over the past 3 years and its over £500, to try and run in one event. I don't race any other times so I think it may be its time to hang up my hat. If anyone can help with the answer? I'll try once more, if not I think maybe I should listen to the gods.. fingers crossed for the answer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JWeston 493 Posted September 28, 2015 Steve, there were other entrants suffering from interference issues yesterday (Rich, Liam, The Doc). No one could pin point why but someone did mention it's a good idea not to have Mobile Phones on the rostrum. One chap had issues in just one corner of the track. Another on another section of the track. It was strange. I've not had this at the Revival and most run GHz at that event to. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know it wasn't just you. What a fantastic day and well run event. I'll get the Race Report submitted to Racer Magazine asap and will post on here when it's available. I'll upload all of the photos onto Iconic tonight. Well done Lee, Simon and SHRCCC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TWINSET 1793 Posted September 28, 2015 Was there any WiFi in the area? My 2.4ghz Netgear USB dongle interferes with my Spektrum DX3 if they're both on in the garage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SRB Bloke 237 Posted September 28, 2015 Its run adjacent to a school, so I'm guessing wifi is all over the place, between that and mobile phones etc I'm guessing there's no easy fix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
super gripper 419 Posted September 28, 2015 Good to see you Steve, with all the 2.4ghz flying around it certainly makes me very glad I held on to all my 40mhz stuff ! get yourself a good 40mhz set and see if all your pain goes away ...............
