super gripper 419 Posted April 17, 2017 Yesterday (16/04/17) was the first round of the Kidderminster Summer series. A few of us ran our Tamiya's. We had two re re Bigwigs, my re re Boomerang and a re re Hotshot. A gentleman's agreement saw us all use the Tamiya GT Tuned motor. Racing was fair and even. We found that the 2 inch Schumacher Yellow blocks on the kit wheels worked the best, running around with a Tamiya GT Tuned motor the race pace was not that fast but fun and relaxed. It made for a fun days racing, what we need now is more people to turn up with these cars and race with us. The second Round is on the 21st May. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathon Gillham 4606 Posted April 18, 2017 This looks great, how did it come about that you ran rere Tamiyas? Or is it a vintage series? I was wondering if I took my Boomerang and entered the allcomers whether others would come out of the woodwork. Even built it with a ROAR approved esc and 17.5T motor with this in mind, as thats the spec for stock class. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drcarlos 57 Posted April 21, 2017 My incoming Top Force is intended for vintage racing, I would happily put in the GT Tuned Motor and a quickrun esc instead of the brushless 8.5T combo if I could join in. Not so keen on racing my Bigwig as it's intended as a light runner/shelfer. Carl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
super gripper 419 Posted April 21, 2017 there are no set down rules for the vintage class at Kidderminster. But we have been wanting to run the Hotshot chassis class with GT tuned motors as we do that indoors at the Dudley winter series. If you do not run the same as us you will be put in the other vintage heat with all the other vintage cars. (much faster than us) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

super gripper 419 Posted April 25, 2017 the Bigwigs belong to Malcolm McDougall and Louisa Garland. It would be good to have you race your Bigwig with us, we have found that Schumacher yellow 2 inch blocks work the best Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

super gripper 419 Posted March 9, 2018 the main classes I think are :- 4wd buggy 2wd buggy stadium truck/truggy 2wd vintage 4wd vintage micro buggy Because we get enough for our own heat for the Hotshot cars they let us have our heat - our rules are a racers gentleman's agreement to keep things fair for all.

Just been on their page but couldnt find anything on the Summer Series. Id be intersted in the vintage 2wd and 4wd spec pending. Im assuming the other 2wd and 4wd are modern buggys which isnt my bag really, same with the micro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
super gripper 419 Posted March 9, 2018 yes the main classes are modern 2wd and modern 4wd just like most events. as soon as I can get some booing in info I will let you know have you got BRCA and a transponder ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

super gripper 419 Posted March 10, 2018 oh right ok, you must have BRCA otherwise you will not be permitted to race, I think they might have hand out transponders but it is always best to have a personal one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
