TWINSET Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Straight from the horse's (facebook) mouth; This year's @ukdroneshow @NEC in early December will also feature a new, separate RCCarZone. Let that sink in for a second. A dedicated, 2 day RC Car Expo right here in the UK, just weeks before Xmas & designed to highlight and promote the hobby to the correct demographic of new and existing #Tech and #Hobby fans. It will showcase what's cool in the industry, have a big retail offering and feature cross over tech like #FPV surface vehicles and in conjunction with the #BRCA have regular races and product demos. The whole RCCar.Zone Magazine team will be on hand with review vehicles, current builds and a few innovative surprises. We are pleased to announce that Ivan Carisma and Carisma Racing have confirmed their stand and will be leading the way, inspiring new and existing RC car fans with their amazingly realistic RTR cars and setting the scene for 2017 by inviting all their key industry contacts in the EU to discuss the year ahead, almost 2 full months before Nuremberg Toy Fair! Other brands, distributors and retailers will be announced very soon...but the space is filling up fast! If you want to get involved please contact the team on: [email protected] or via the UKDS websites contact page here: http://www.ukdroneshow.com/contact-us.html Stay tuned for further announcements...

Maybe even have a stand lol Only a tenner each.. £40 in Diesel, £60 plus food/drink, sounds like a great day out to me, last time I was at the NEC was for a bike show, so I know how big it is and if it's packed with stalls, I can't really think of a better way to spend a day (aside from a reptile expo ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably cheaper by car for us anyway, my Dads car usually averages about 55-58mpg on the motorway, other week he got 235 miles from £20.. It'd be great to finally meet you in person though Tim!

Oh How Original Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Be a PITA on the train for us without a local line, it'd mean changing loads, so we'll just drive, my Dad will know somewhere to park... Being a coach driver for 30 years has it's advantages when it comes to finding places to park 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd only be going for the day not the weekend but it would be good to know which day is going to be best for ground/surface stuff. Shall post what they say if/when they reply.

Sharkfat78 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I need to go to this! 40 minutes up the M6 for me. If I'm working on the Saturday and can't get the time off work I'll go on the Sunday. Does anyone have a website link please? I'll be damned if I can find it :/ (twss block) Scratch that, found it....http://www.ukdroneshow.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be faster to drive to Gatwick, get on a plane, fly to Nuremburg and go to the expo there. I am actually tempted to get to Nuremburg looking at it that way.
