Default R/C @ Bradwell Powerstation

ESC R/C @ Bradwell Power Station.

Saturday 9th June (amended) Thanx Mrs ESC ........ Or another date if not available.

Time: From 11 am at the power Station

Directions...thanx to Frayz

Head past the lodge,

over shaw farm roundabout

over next roundabout

at next roundabout (Saltcoats roundabout) take first exit.

Up the hill about 500yds, take the first left signposted (stow maries, cold norton, three rivers golf course)

Follow this road all the way, over humpback bridge, over 2 mini roundabouts.

Past latchingdon Texaco garage,

Over next mini roundabout.

Follow this road all the way to the power station.

take the signs for the power station.. cant miss us as we're on the entrance

There is plenty of space for us all , But i do think this time we need to take in frayz' Rules, which where not heeded last time and a few accidents happened

Rules

Due to the speed, danger and investment of this hobby i would like to suggest a few house rules....

Folks, please be aware of the following :-

1. There will be a book/sheet on site for writing down your crystal frequencies. - Under no circumstances turn on radio transmitters or receivers without referring to this.
The first person to write their name down is responsible for that frequency and may share it with others, if asked nicely.

2. Avoid walking between the radio operator and his/her vehicle where possible. (important)

3. Be especially aware of whats going on around you. These fecking things hurt when they hit you. (double important, especially for the younger members who walk around in a daze half the time)

4. Anyone flouting the above, will severely pi55 people off.

5. When you inevitably hit race cone markers.. please return them to their spot.

6. If running around the track, (those of you that have it) please do not use your reverse. It is dangerous on track,

7 Have good, safe fun !!!!


Have fun guys

It has become apparent over that last few weeks that a few on here seem to be enjoying your RC's.

Well why not stand out from the crowd of boring and bland shells/bodies and get a custom one.

Have a look here Cookie's Custom Shells

Leon is the guy who does these and I can thoroughly recommend him.

He is fairly local aswell.

As you will see from his gallery he turns out some pretty good stuff.

Go on be different - you know you want too.................

Tell him Ray - aka - Kanai Lad sent you

Nice one John another RC Meet

Cones up the centre of the runway are a great idea imho & will help seperate the traffic


Bring it on

Sure there will be a new " Team Traxxas " Member there as well

Just looking through Ebay, and can't help but notice how many spare parts there are for savages?

Why's that?

Maybe John and Paul could comment

Savages are well established, and have been running round the block a lot longer than Revo's so the spares and hop ups are plentiful, give it time and the Revo will soon catch up.

Damn, I must be getting old, didn't slag the Revos off this time
