tamiya monkey 243 Posted May 26, 2014 My cars are all ready to hit the track, only got one on-roader so far and its rear wheel drive so should be fun. After the last visit ive been really looking forward to a re-visit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JWeston 493 Posted May 27, 2014 Some of us had a chat regarding potential wet track at Snetterton and decided it was wise to take at least 1 buggy. At the last meet, the Bigwigs were excellent around there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smitchos 78 Posted May 27, 2014 Yes agree Mr Weston. Last time I used my DT-02 with Carson All Terrain wheels/tyres I bought from Fusion Hobbies, that was excellent! The road/rally cars were pretty good too (TA chassis's etc). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tamiya monkey 243 Posted May 27, 2014 My Fav ran great, and my lad run his hornet for most of the day. But i must confess the bigwig race was excellent, maybe a few boomers and hotshots in the mix would make for some great video footage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Butler 338 Posted June 4, 2014 Forecast looks terrible! Fully wet!! Although warmish. I wish I'd ordered some soft tyres now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SRB Bloke 237 Posted June 4, 2014 I'm looking forward to Saturday but this time I promise not to blow up an esc and stink the cabin out But I am bringing a newly built car for the track, I only had buggies last time. It was built and painted in 24 hrs and I didn't bother with any extra detailing like I normally do. Here it is, in my usual colours I've ordered a nice rear wing for it but unfortunately it won't be here in time See you all on Saturday 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Butler 338 Posted June 4, 2014 Is anyone bringing a proper race ready touring car? I don't our crew have anything special in terms of speed. We are all running kit tyres for one thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smitchos 78 Posted June 4, 2014 GREAT LOOKING TT-02 Steve! My 6R4 is a standard TT-02 too, so we'll be at the back of the grid together! YES - in addition to the above, I've fixed up my old racing tourer (Schumacher Mi3.5) for some fast fun. I know 2 others will be bring theirs too. There are also a number of TT01's about so you're both be in good company. See you Saturday! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JWeston 493 Posted June 7, 2014 Today was excellent. Such great group of attendees at an excellent track. Great racing and, more importantly, a great laugh. We thought we were in trouble when a storm hit at lunchtime but it soon cleared and we were then treated to warm sunshine and also a BBQ courtesy of SRB Bloke. An absolutely fantastic day out. A big thank you to Smitchos for all the admin. I've put 10 photos into my TC Showroom and there about about 65 photos on IconicRC Facebook. J 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
