Hi I am trying to find a local club but even though I can find stuff on google it's quite old or just videos has anyone got any contact info. As I can't seem to find any website associated to a club in torbay .

I would def be interested in that considering the gt12 cars only cost about
-
I've had an interesting email from the brca so fingers crossed for this I'd probably look at the GT12 cars my main expense will be carpet but I have an idea that may cover that, I'd probably use basic lap counting gear to start to save set up costs. my only concern would be "will people come?" But I have no way of telling until things are set up.

Well i have asked the brca what i need to do to start a club. on road would be nice i love on road racing but if off road is the popular choice i guess i'd have to go that way.

Yes I found info on TORC on the net but none of it current they don't seem to exist anymore.
Can the Mardave circuit cars run on polished floors or would carpet have to be laid?
Dave

Ok I'll keep my ear to the ground how what kind of floor is needed does it have to be carpet or is normal sports hall flooring ok? Would it be needed once a week and for how long 2-3 hours?. I have no idea how a club should run or how to start one is there any info/resources out there?

I gave up with the post office and parcel farce after losing so much gear and what wasn't lost was damaged so I've used my Hermes since and never had a problem everything I send is fully insured maybe I'm just lucky.

Hi I am looking to get into rc car racing what clubs if any are there in Devon? I know of a very large school sports hall that maybe coming available so I may have the opportunity to start a club what cars would be best in there? Many many years ago I saw an indoor club racing Mardave mini stocks is there a modern equivalent?

SOLD!! SOLD!! thanks..

You shouldn't need to waterproof anything as the inside of the boat should remain dry any motors can be used i run brushed and brushless in boats all you need is a prop shaft of whatever length you need to achieve a watertight connection between motor and prop. I think u'll find planking a hull in wood easier than moulding one you can glass it inside for extra strength if needed.

I had the same from the modelshop they were pretty useless and didn't want to give any info. which is a bit naff for any club that does exist.
