Is Kent the most dead place for RC Bashing?

more or less.

 

there are bashers around but you don't often see them.

 

there is a group on facebook who meet at mote park in maidstone or a place in gillingham almost every sunday, but that all i know of.

I'm in Gillingham. Not been out for 2 weeks due to work, and possibly the next few. Numbers have dropped since last year though.

Probably a good thing I'm taking a few weeks off, getting expensive fixing them every week. :)

Hi all,

 

I'm in Dartford and would truly LOVE to get out more with my Savvy.....but everytime I get set up to go, batteries charged etc, family life intervenes - Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!

 

The last run for me was over at what we call the glory bumps, going perfectly until the air filter jumped off and jammed the carb.

 

Now we're all set to go again......I just can't get out.

 

Regards,

 

Dave

Just noticed the meet up threads, I'm in Gillingham and it would be good to meet up with others when I get some free time (not very often lol). Just finding somewhere local with a few jumps for my leccy truggy would be good as my garden is too narrow and flat.

I know of one bike park in Chatham/Rochester but when I see it its normally in use by bmx and scooter riders, plus I don't have any road tyres. Ashford is a little far for me although I wouldn't mind getting down there one day.

Do you know where in moat park? I've been to the park once but it is quite big...never saw anyone using rc vehicles.

i've run largescale in both ashford areas i know and at mote park, so yea, you can run them if you want

yea its abit big.

 

the main place people meet is at the bmx track, easiest way to get to it is to go behind the swimming pool and walk over the big field towards the trees, fairly long walk, goes past 3 or 4 foot pitch set ups.

 

from the back of the swimming pool it you look towards the play park at the gate (you willl know what i mean when you get there) the bmx track is at your 3 o'clock for a general direction, goes slightly down hill just before you get there so you can't see it until about 50-100 feet away, was abit over grown when i went there last but usable.

Ok, I think I'll check it out one day when I finish work. Best to check it out before making my way over there with all the gear.

 

We don't go there anymore, everyone got stung with parking tickets.

 

Most recent place is Capstone park, at the bottom of Ash Tree Lane. Some will be there this Sunday, but most are going to Dartford Heath.

not many racers go on this forum fella

 

even less use onroad

 

even less than that use largescale onroad.

 

don't mean to sound rude but the chances of someone caring about that track isn't very high.

 

 

also your sig is huge.

Not its not huge thats your opinion and also i would be over the moon if i got one person to convert to proper racing as it would be the best decision they will ever make in rc ( my opinion) so i will forever continue to promote the local track for you and all the other people in kent

You can continue racing on your own on a field or in a carpark while i am having a laugh with another 40 people that share the same interest

This town is coming like a ghost town

Here in Bristol mate it is even worse, there is plenty of places to bash but there isn't anyone bashing, or should I say no one is allowed to bash anymore!!!
