Hi Steve, creative decoration/themes are encouraged, particularly for the standard HB/SR class. You just need to actually use the kit HB/SR shell as your basis, and it remain obvious/instantly recognisable that it a HB/SR shell. Basically, keeping the main shape and size as is, and nothing major sticking out or sharp. Look forward to seeing your photos!! When pm'ing, please pm me by normal email not this forum pm. See ya soon mate! Simon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

super gripper 419 Posted August 3, 2014 >>>>>>>>>>>answer to Lemmings question<<<<< If you are a novice racer and haven't raced at a club and done three race meetings (this includes three separate clubs) you can enter without having BRCA insurance and you will be covered by the club. If you have been a previous member of the BRCA you are not covered and must re-join before entering. Next year, Everyone must be BRCA to attend this event and any others at BRCA clubs such as John's fantastic Iconic meeting. I will be hopefully organising a Tamiya 4wd event next year as well 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

super gripper 419 Posted August 4, 2014 Great to see the regulars booked in. a little feedback on this years fee's. This year is a full blown trophy meeting with everyone taking something home Last year was the trial run, this year will be bigger and better I know some people have said £12 is high but its the standard price I pay for every trophy meeting I go to at all the clubs. Burger van is booked, by me 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hairy gardener 0 Posted August 9, 2014 I didn't get to last years event , but hope to attend this year ... it sounds like it is a great sucess ! Had you thought about a 5 or 6 race DT02 series ??? Racing at different tracks around the UK ??? If you had a team of helpers/commitee , then it would make it easier . See you on the start line !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JWeston 493 Posted August 9, 2014 Lee/Simon. Last year we were permitted to cut away the gearbox to expose more of the motor to help keep it cooler. Can you please remind us whether this is permitted on both Standard and Modified Classes? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JWeston 493 Posted August 9, 2014 Lee/Simon. Another question from Iconic. Can you trim the tyres in the Stock Class? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
super gripper 419 Posted August 9, 2014 John, thank you for passing on the questions from Iconic. Cutting away or drilling the gearbox for cooling is permitted in both classes. No cutting of the tyres is permitted in the standard class. (this will be checked by our scrutineer - Simon) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smitchos 78 Posted August 10, 2014 I hope to attend the event with my 8 yr old son (his first taste of rc racing). Looking forward to it. Just wanted to know if it will be ok to provide a spares service on the day , or has someone else got it covered ??? Cheers :-) Glad to see the rules have been re-posted and hope everyone respects them and it is a good days racing !!! Like last year, I will bring some DT-02 spares, nearly a whole car, I've got both VGC used, and some new. But belive it or not, last year no one needed/asked for anything, so I sold a complete new bare chassis at the end of the day for someone to make a car. HOWEVER, can I ask/suggest, if you've got it (DT-02 orientated), please can you bring it, you never know what maybe needed, or how many pile-ups we'll have!! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
super gripper 419 Posted August 10, 2014 Last years peoples driving dramitically improved through out the day and people quickly got in to the routine of racing and then marshalling. Breakages were very few as the DT02 chassis is quite robust. In the standard class the cars do not really go fast enough to break anything major and in the modified class the odd front C hug broke but those who has alloy front C hubs had no issues all day I think the most breakages where the poor Holiday Buggy body shells As Simon suggests it is always a good idea to bring some spares with you. Those who have brought spares to sell on the day will be asked to make them selves known during the drivers briefing. The Juniors class is set to be a good one with some Juniors from last year having now done some club racing. I intend to watch the heats and final with great interest. Please note the Dads of the Juniors will be expected to marshall the heats and final. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InsaneJim69 1584 Posted August 13, 2014 If this wasn't well over a 1000miles round trip for me I might have been very interested God why do I stay soooo far north James :S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevinthegerbil2 15 Posted August 15, 2014 I've just booked in for both classes. Be using the same cars as last year, The Sand Rover in the Standard, and the Nissan Titan in the Modified. Need to do some improvements to the Titan as I think this class is going to be competitive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
super gripper 419 Posted August 16, 2014 This years mod class is set to be quite competitive yes. But please remember, entering your skill level when booking in means you will be racing against people of simular skill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
