SNETTERTON RC TRACK MEETS

[smitchos]

Think I'm about ready, just a couple of fixes left to do!

[Butler]

2 guys are rebuilding their xv01s we carbon parts for strength and ordered road wheels and tyres. I have started with a whole new chassis. (Ta04). Our 4th guy is rebuilding his TL01 and building his avante. Me and him have also dug out our minis too.

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.

[JWeston]

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.

[smitchos]

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).

[tamiya monkey]

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.

[smitchos]

I just hope the weather on Saturday is as good as it was this last weekend!

[tamiya monkey]

Well its a three and a bit hour drive for me, so what ever the weather i will be setting off early.

[Butler]

Forecast looks terrible! Fully wet!! Although warmish. I wish I'd ordered some soft tyres now.

[SRB Bloke]

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

What's underneath or is it a secret? Looks nice.

Nothing fancy, straight out the box TT02 with a sport tuned motor and bearings. Its ok though Im expecting to be slow compared you guys.

[Butler]

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.

[smitchos]

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!

Great day. Thanks for organising.

Look forward to another one.

[JWeston]

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.
