munted-alfa Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Yeh i only started in Febuary this year and wished id started sooner it's fairly cheap and good fun, ill come up to Stonehaven and have a look at both off road and on road racing. There's also a 1/10th scale off road scottish series run at tracks in Fife, tayside and Stoney which might be good fun so ill have a look at that when ive gota chance. Off road does look like fun and i can bash it around my back yard yee haa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off road does look like fun and i can bash it around my back yard yee haa Yeah GT12 is a great way to start racing in my opinion. It was originally the buggies I wanted to start racing but it was near the end of the season and I didn't want to wait, Mardave's don't break the bank too much so it made sense to get one and I'll continue racing it. Round 6 is at Stonehaven this Sunday, I should have my buggy ready for then so that'll be my first buggy race hopefully. Off road does look a lot of fun, really looking forward to starting it. It's taken a couple of months for me to my buggy together due to work and other out of work commitments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munted-alfa Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Good luck on your race debut sounds exciting, if the weather's any good i might be able to come up for a look. What type of buggy do you have 4 wheel or 2 wheel drive and what make. I take it that there 1/10th scale buggies.

My dad finished off the soldering last night so I'll be popping over to pick the buggy up then I've got a few more things sort out on it, I should manage to take it for a test run tomorrow. I've got a Team Durango DEX210 which a 2wd 1/10. This is it here: http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/170648-the-dark-knights-team-durango-dex210/ They only race electric 1/10 buggies and touring cars at Stonehaven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Knight Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Yip cool car lookn good, interesting build diary what motor did you go for in the end. I went for a thunder power 8.5t motor. Did you come to Stonehaven yesterday? It was a cracking day, I'm feeling a bit tender today though, got sun burnt back of my neck, shoulders and head Had great fun with the buggy too, needed to make a few set-up changes but was getting quicker throughout the day. I've been bullied into getting a spec class touring car together for the next race meeting. I already have a rolling chassis, I only need wheels/tyres, a servo and a bodyshell, possibly a spur/pinion too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munted-alfa Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 No wasnt able to come up im affraid but sounds like you did well and had a good time which is what its all about. Do you recon racing the buggy is more fun than GT12, different style of racing i suppose so both might have their plus points. Sounds a good club at stoney got in door out door track and off road, theyve got everything covered. Dundee are trying to get an out door track built in the future which would be great and would be good if they adopt the same classes as stoney so people could race at both clubs. Spec class racing aswell you might as well since it's on your door step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spec class racing aswell you might as well since it's on your door step. Yeah I had a great time and everyone at the club is very friendly and full of good banter so had a good laugh too. GT12 is really good fun, once I get mine back together I'll be coming down to Dundee once a month. The buggy is really fun too but total different style of driving, it is more challenging to drive than the GT12 and I'm fairly off the pace just now but with more practice I'm sure I'll get to grips with it. Love the jumps with the buggy The offroad track is different everytime as it is just set-up on the day, which is a good thing and a bad thing. Good thing being it's always a different challenge, bad thing being it's always a different challenge lol. The spec class should be fun, I wouldn't want to race modified as I get dizzy just watching them race, sooo fast! Spec class is a more sensible speed for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
