What
Marshalling
Drivers are required to marshall immediately after racing, or a deputy provided.
Marshals are expected to marshal as they would want to be marshalled - sympathetically and quickly...
Cars
We race 1/10 scale electric Touring Car chassis. 190mm bodyshells are free, to include BRCA legal and any other "road" styles etc
Motors
Either 27T Stock motors, or 27T-equivalent Brushless systems are allowed. 27T Hybrid motors are currently not eligible for Championships - we are reviewing whether to allow bearings in brushed motors.
Current plans are to avoid running separate classes for each motor type, but we'll see how we get on...
See the Brushless info panel on the right for more details on allowed systems.
BRCC has a limited number of Novak complete systems available for sale at a significantly discounted price.
Batteries
Any capacity NiCd or NiMH batteries are allowed, and are eligible for Championships. Li-Po batteries are now eligible for Championships, but only BRCA approved packs.
Tyres
The Club uses Schumacher Carpet Dragon tyres as the "controlled tyre". These are avaiable for purchase at the club at reduced prices. Any kit slick or road-treaded tyre is allowed, but these generally do not give the grip of the Carpet Dragon. All of these are eligible for Championships.
Foams are not eligible for Championships and we would prefer that they were not used.
SPIKES of any form are specifically banned
Race Timing
The Club provides hand-out programmable transponders for race timing. These require connection to a spare connection on the receiver for power. Transponders are handed back at the end of each evening.
Personal Transponders don't seem to be reliable when used with our timing system.
BRUSHLESS SYSTEMS
The following brushless systems are spec'd to be equivalent to 27T stock motors, and are therefore allowed for Championships:
NOVAK Sport EX13.5T Motor
Speed Passion 13.5T Motor
Dragon Brushless Sport Modified 15.5T Motor
LRP Eraser Brushless Sport 13.5T Motor
Coupled with the motor manufacturer's speed controller.
Rotors
Only bonded (NOT sintered) rotors will be eligible for Championships
CML Distribution, have kindly offered initial set-up support to the Club in the use of the Novak Systems. Clearly, the Club greatly appreciates their help, and we'll feed back findings on this site in due course. See also:
MK Racing kindly arranged the bulk-purchase of the Novak Systems, on the Club's behalf.
