flux Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 hi guys, im thinking of getting into 1/10 scale touring (at the chippenham club). not really done any rc stuff prior to this other than having a bash around the garden and stuff with a mad bull i have! im just looking for some advise and have found some on here but some it was a little outdated. so my question is what sort of car should i get to start with? thanks in advanced!

Trans4Mation Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) Hi & welcome aboard . Does the club not hire different cars? If so try afew out then see what one you like the handling / looks / better to work on etc. an see if racing is what you want rather than buying loads of top kit to find out you like bashing more? Go along for afew weeks get to know folk an talk to them more an get a better idea plus they maybe have a spare to sell or maybe upgrading to newer spec/ . We all on her can say buy this car get this radio etc but it's down to you an budget . Have a good read of the racing/ touring threads get reading & good luck .

David Allen Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I race at Chippenham from time to time, very good club, great venue. You'll get lots of advice about the possibilities if you visit, 17.5 Blinky TC is generally the most popular class but there are usually GT12s, Mini's and 13.5 boosted cars knocking about too.

hipwell Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 What's your budget? Get the best you can afford so your not wanting to upgrades as soon as you get the hang of it. It's addictive enough as it is so you don't want to be buying twice in a short period of time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Allen Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) There are a couple of permanent outdoor tracks that you can practice on if you are a member. Cotswold club is closer to Chippenham - http://cotswoldmcc.co.uk/ and there is also the Mendip club - http://www.mendiprcraceway.co.uk/ Edited November 1, 2014 by David Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
