Vr5fx Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) 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 Does your car do double backflips? Nope. You go in circles while we do this; Of course, this is a personal opinion. This is my Hyper 9e. We arn't called "Medways ultimate bashers" for nothing. Ok, thanks. Where in capstone btw? Do you park in the main carpark? Yeah, the main car park. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/51.3694648,0.5523063/51.3646108,0.5547301/@51.3649406,0.555224,17z/data=!4m4!4m3!1m0!1m0!3e2 This week will be quiet down there though.

Stand back all we have a grammer warrior here thats very mature wolf, please point out what was said wrong! Number two im not desperate for recognition as we are the biggest onroad large scale club in the uk so we dont need you i just want everyone to have an equal chance of being able to race without the thought of it being invite only or secretive etc we want as many people as possible to make it more competitive and fun for all. Plus we now have a mini class with over 20 minis sold which cost Edited July 4, 2014 by JayAVFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnestah Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Ok. Let's all just hug and make up. I've found a ok looking track at the back of the plough pub in leigh. Looks quite good and it's always good to have nice pub close buy. I've got the guy's number but just need to get round to contacting him. Check it out on Google earth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad-Co Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Lol Racing vrs Bashing argument.... Now I've bashed with TW and I've bashed with Medway Ultimate. I've raced for 2 years.... Here's the difference. I can take my race buggy to Gillingham bowl and do double backflips with it, no problem. I can drive around and around in circles with no restraint But I bet my whole car, you'll not be able to take your basher into a track. keep it between the lines, do the jumps, turn the corners, keep it on its wheels for a whole 5 minutes. Most Bashers are very linear. They either drive the car away from them and return it towards themself. They're lining themselves up for ramps and can only judge their approach this way. Racers have to drive the car in all directions, off road have to lineup their ramps from all directions, On road have to judge a racing line for all directions. I'll stand on JayAVFC' side here. In fact, I'll make the statement Any racer can go bashing, but It takes a practice and skill to turn a basher into a racer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the park that is along side ash tree lane or capstone park itself? I've been to capstone but only to the play area not far from the car park/lake and don't know if it would be ok to run the cars there...

We've ran cars there before now, loads of space if there isn't any football on, but can get dull after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimus Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Yeah, I know the place. I could imagine it getting boring after a while...It would be good to find somewhere with a few natural bumps and jumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnestah Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Good luck with that. Ever since owning an rc natural lumps and bumps that aren't either on the road side or in inappropriate or darn right dangerous places seem to be a thing of the past where I live . Big and flat is easy to find but dull. Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yeah it's freezing! Where abouts in gillingham are you may I ask? I really want to get my glamis uno out again but as you said, it's freezing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimus Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yeah, the cold isn't that great for the plastics either, makes it more brittle. I'm near the level crossing. Unfortunately I haven't found anywhere that is really interesting to run our cars... Where are you then? And where do you normally use yours?

Brandon Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yeah that's true! Do you know where the strand park is? If you do, I live around the corner from there. I haven't really got a place but I am going to the riverside country park as there is a few places I could run my cars, of course when it warms up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimus Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Yeah, I know the strand. It's a 10 minute walk. Me and my son used the golf course for our hypers last year but I haven't been there for a while now. Never been to riverside with our cars because I just thought people would complain. I'd be up for meeting up when it gets a little warmer Edited January 24, 2015 by optimus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 That's awesome! Me and my dad took our nitro buggies to the riverside but someone complained about the noise so we didn't take them again but now I have gone to electric so they can't complain Yeah that would be great!
