| Hi all, i will be coming down to your tuesday evening racing for a look at your track and have a chat with a few members in the next week or two, ive been looking at joining a club for sometime, and after taking time, ive decided on yours, I will be wanting to get a starter buggy for myself and the kids aged 9 and 11. But not sure where to start, i do have loads of tamiya stuff but its re-re or vintage mainly so looking for something modern. So whats a popular starter buggy in 2wd and 4wd. Also ive never raced before so what other items would i need to get started, i have lipo batteries (turnigy) but not sure what the regulations are for such things. we also use 2.4ghz radio. Do you ever run a vintage class etc. |

My cougar is in the for sale section,
perfect for club and if you want to do bigger meetings,
lots of support at the club as quite a few people run them,
its got the options you would buy so is ready to go,

Come down and have a chat before you decide which way you want to go. Where the young ones are concerned if you want them to race they might have a better survivability rate with a short course truck....
If you have raceable Tamiya's maybe there are others that might own similar, I could dig out the old grasshopper for a giggle!
We try and stick to BRCA regulations regarding batteries etc., LiPo's should be 7.4v and preferably hard case, Tuesday's are a club night and as such some rules slip under the wire..... |
