IconicRC & A1 Racing: Revival Meeting 2014

The Handout Transponders.

Here's a link to what they are and what they look like. It's the Red ones. http://www.transponderservices.com/buy-mylaps-AMB-club-RC-transponder.html

Dimensions:

AMBrc Rechargeable Transponder

Dimensions : 35 x 31 x 12 mm (approx. 1.4”x1.2”x 0.5”)

Weight : 22 g

If you don't want to put a hole through the buggy body, you'll need to find a way to secure them very temporarily without sticking them. So to find a way to make use of the bodymount hole or cable tie them etc.

Thanks for looking into the issue regarding securing the transponder.

I have a couple of ideas for securing them to a hotshot / Supershot, and will post them up on here once I know the dimensions.

This promises to be a quality day out!

Really looking forward to it.

I am guessing I am not the only one with a strong desire not to drill holes in vintage shells to mount transponders. I am looking forward to seeing your ideas.

One that strikes me as a possibility is to clamp a piece of scrap lexan between wing and wing mount, and put a hole in this that the transponder can be clipped to. The exact dimensions would vary from buggy to buggy, but I believe the concept would be more or less universally applicable.

Chaps. Please see the previous post for the info you need. Thanks, J

Here's a photo from an Iconic member with a suggestion on how to mount the handout transponder. Same as XV Pilot's suggestion by the looks of it.

[hammerstien]

hornet or hopper its going to be a tight fit lol

[JWeston]

Yeh, I reckon there will be room in the cockpit on Hornets and Hoppers. Cable tied to the driver maybe..

[super gripper]

I have three hand out transponder mounts and clips for sale.

£2 each plus £1.50 p&p

securely mount the transponder holder some where in you chassis. that way the transponder is safe and cannot get knocked off during a race.

Announcing another Event Sponsor.

I've discovered today that the Grantham A1 Travelodge is now up to full price (£52 per room and 1 minute from the track) for the Saturday night. Still a bargain if you double up.

The Grantham Colsterworth Travelodge is 2 junctions down the A1 (10mins from the track) and is currently £32 per room for the Saturday night.

A reminder that there will be a posse heading into Grantham Town for beers on the Saturday late afternoon/evening. Both Travelodges will mean a cab into town if you want to join us.

Hope that helps. J

Camping:

This is the best local Campsite. Thorn Farm Leisure.

About 5 mins from the Track by car and where I'll be recommending people to go who wish to camp. They also have B&B.

I'm delighted to say that Jamie Booth has signed up for the Revival.

A total legend and this is one of the biggest highlights for me since starting up Iconic.

He's also going to run my Lunchbox in the Wheelie Race. Happy Dayz.

Dude, you've probably already spotted he'll be joining us for beers on the Saturday night too.

[Holmsey]

Well have finally got myself booked in.

Am going to be running my Wild One and Supershot.

Really looking forward to this!

To anyone who hasn't raced before and is unsure about entering, let me say that last years Dt02 event was the first time that I had been on a track. Sure, my driving sucked, but it was great fun and a brilliant day out!

At the revival you're going to be racing with like minded people of a similar ability.

This promises to be a fantastic event, so blow the dust off those models and get yourselves entered!

[hammerstien]

ok going to get to meet the person used to read about on my lunch break at 1st job with other rc nut . Who raced at different club to me but both had highly modified meteors which we built parts at work on the sly in the tool shed

Nice one Steve and well said. We're encouraging complete newcomers to racing and they will be well looked after.

Re our chat at Clumber; we'll be mixing PRO and AM during the heats if necessary so there will be no quiet heats.

[Lemming]

Hope to get either the Avante or the Top Force ready and enter myself into a race. Hope to get recording time again :-)

Event Sponsor: Schumacher

I'm delighted to say that Schumacher are donating a Waverunner RTR Buggy towards the charity raffle that will be held at the event.

Event Sponsor: RC Racing UK

RC Racing UK have very generously donated a XB Lunchbox to the charity raffle which will be held on the day.

[JWeston]

An important note re insurance on the day. Something we've had clearly clarified by the BRCA.

If you are entered in the amateur class and are a complete novice (never raced before) you can race without having insurance cover.

People who are experienced racers and have raced previously, and have let their BRCA insurance cover lapse will have to have insurance before they can race. Lapsed BRCA members should already understand this but the regulations aren't particularly clear which is why we've had it clarified.

A BRCA License is £17.

Please direct message me with any questions on this.

[JWeston]

We have a new and rather special Revival Event Sponsor.

James Knight of Knight Customs is donating 5 (yes 5!) Moto Wild Willys!

Here is a little teaser for you guys. Packed up and ready to ship to John.

[Toykid]

Please note that I am only ever making 50 of these EVER, so when they are gone, they are gone. Numbers 14-18 will be available at the event. They include the super clear goggles and each one was hand cast, the casting numbered and signed by me.

Happy to donate for such a great event and even greater cause.

Best,

James.

[JWeston]

Just realised I hadn't put the Revival Apparel link on here.

IconicRC and Revival T-Shirts and (very 80's) Trucker Hats are available from our Zazzle Store.

£1.30 from every purchase from the store until August will go into the charity pot for the Revival. That is every penny of what IconicRC will make from each purchase. Zazzle get the rest.
