m4inbrain Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hey, just wondering if there's people running nitros in south wales, preferably around Llantwit Major/Bridgend area? Kinda feel lonely here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4inbrain Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Personally, no idea. Did you ever go to Ogmore by the sea? I've read a couple of times that there's some bashworthy spots, but i'd like to clarify before i actually drive there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggles Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I'm down the M4 a bit, no nitro at the moment but do have a noisy 2 stroke baja 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Ahm.. Where'd that be, newport? Might be a dumb question, but i only recently moved here, so i got no idea. And i certainly wouldn't mind seeing a baja live, would help me decide if i actually want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggles Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Yup newport. The baja is in a million pieces at the moment waiting for a rebuild. Haven't used it much before I took it apart need to find some decent places to run it not found anywhere really. Ogmore might be good have been there before but not really looking for RC spots at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Ah, too bad.. Can't be the case that there's no people down here that want to bash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggles Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I've got an electric rustler to use but that is suited to the total opposite places to the baja, doesn't like long grass and not noisy so I can just use it at the park etc. Can't really do that with a stupidly noisy baja that rips up the ground hope to have it rebuilt in the next few weeks though. Just need to sell a few other bits to fund the last few parts. Just need to find somewhere a bit out of the way where the noise isn't an issue really.

m4inbrain Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Isn't there a racetrack in Newport somewhere? edit: RC race track, nitro nutters or something? I might just have a look around for some spots, i do understand that a noisy baja might be a problem to cater to. I've heard that there's some closed down quarry somewhere around here, where one would be able to drive. Can't even find where i've read that though, would need to go google again.

wiggles Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Yeah there is a track in cwmbran, Gwent nitro racer (they are on facebook) the guy who runs it says it is just to tight and twisty for a baja because he couldn't drive one around it... Not really interested in racing anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Me neither, yet. Truggy isn't made for racing anyway, gonna get a buggy for that at some point. Hm.. Well, as i said, gonna have a look around and pm you if i find that spot i mentioned. You fix your Baja, ready for spring when season starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b19jas Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I am in Cardiff, but I have all nice quiet leccys. Ogmore is OK if you want to use the beach, but back when I had nitro we got kicked out all the time. People live on the edge of the car park and they get real narky. Can't blame them.

freakydan1 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Well returned after a year and a half of inactivity, nitro nutters was disbanded after being kicked off the ground we used to go to, a few of us still lurk up the newbridge area plenty of rugby pitches and footballs grounds we use, we bought skateboard ramps from the local car boot sales to bash and throw our nitro's and baja's off of. If you lot are still interested in meeting up on a weekend sometime let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voicon Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I know this is quite an old post but for anyone interested I was just talking to a few guys at my local model shop who are building a track in the Newport Area, not finished yet but coming soon Face book page here https://m.facebook.com/wvmracing/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t2boats Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Was gonna say there's a model shop (or was, not sure?) in Newport several years ago, it might still be open for business? They're bound to know of a track/bashing spots.. With regards to Ogmore, on the way in from Bridgend direction there's an open grassy area to the west of the road, looks decent with dry sand too.

Theres one in Risca called Western Valley Models that's been around for years and is still running, they are part of the track being made I linked above. There was also a shop on the Leeway Industrial Estate called Mad On Models but they stopped trading a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehMarchant Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I hope you guys are still about, it seems gwent have disbanded and so have nitro nutters. I would just like a group to go bash with and maybe have a little go on track at some point, not to race but but to have a go. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
