We race every Friday night, with a short break between Christmas and New Year. Racing usually starts from around 5:30pm.

We race 1/10 electric off road cars. This includes brands such as Associated, TLR, Yokomo, Schumacher and others.

We normally run both 2WD and 4WD classes, subject to sufficient numbers.

At present, the most popular rear tyres are Schumacher Cactus U6838.

Front tyres are usually Schumacher Low Profile Cut Staggers U6770 for 2WD, or Schumacher Fusion 2 U6895 for 4WD.

We don’t sell tyres ourselves, but Colin from L&L Models is normally in attendance with a selection of tyres, inserts and wheels.

There is currently no fixed motor limit, although with only a 25m straight we recommend nothing too extreme.

Depending on experience, a 13.5T or 10.5T motor is a good place to start.

You can use any 7.4v LiPo battery as long as it is hard cased.

Batteries must be charged safely in a LiPo bag, in line with the manufacturer’s recommendations.

No. Beginners are very welcome. We try to accommodate every ability and will place newer racers with other beginners wherever possible.

We normally run 4 rounds of qualifying, followed by a final for everyone.

We use AMB/MyLaps timing equipment, compatible with the vast majority of AMB, MyLaps and MRT personal transponders.

We do not currently have handout transponders. You can run without one, but you won’t be able to track your lap times.

Please note: MyLaps RC4 3-wire transponders are not currently supported.
