With the Minis and begineers becoming a permanent feature at meetings now, what are peoples thoughts to holding a championship series

When we first held races for the minis it was agreed that the idea was to keep things standard and 'out of the box'.

If there is enough interest we could run a series but I feel that we should keep it simple and fun whilst also allowing beginneers to get their first tatse of racing RC without too much pressure.

Over to you!

Could be a fun class to run, as long as we keep it as standard

A cheaper option for first timers.

So will this be standard MO3 minis with the silver can Bearings allowed as per the rules we have all tryed to break from the start

Or are other cars going to be allowed ??

I know the bigginers can run what they want Just wondered if us more experianced racers could run other cars like the is it MO4 which is 2wd as well or TT01 cars or the other makes of mini

If they run silver can motors that is

Would a Mardave be leagle ??? dont know much about them but the 3 wheelers look like fun

all i know is they are 1 /12th scale but only 4 cell rear wheel drive might be on par with the minis maybe ???????????

I Think some testing needs to be done on the Minis !!!

Point 1 .... There seem to be No mods that make the cars Quicker !!! so keeping them standard I personaly don't feel is a major issue

Point 2 .... Motor YES this needs to be a standard 540 silver can for sure .

Point 3 .... Tyres as long as they are the same size as the origanal Mo-3 ones i feel again there is no advantage to be had here either .....

Point 4 .... Running 4 cell Mardave I feel should be allowed IF THERE IS NO ADVANTAGE TO BE HAD again with a silver can 540 , as this opens up the field to all those people who already have one somwhere in there loft at home

Point 5 .... I Think as far as a series go this could be done as sort of a MINI 24 Hour Race with 2 five minute qualifyying runs ,Then 2 finals of 15 or 20 minutes With 1 mandatory pit stop for at either Tyres or Battery ...

Anyone want to add anything or disagree I know it has been said to keep it simple But Nobody has done so & when people Buy there minis second had who knows whats inside them or upgrades they have had done ..

& I know Baz has said No to the mardave higher up this tread but again if there is no advantage over a mini I feel they should be allowed

A couple of back to back tests is required i feel .....

Sugestions Responces ?????
