The car section operates from the club’s land near Thorpe Lea which will open for RC Cars approximately 360 days a year
To join the Car Section you must also have third party insurance from the BRCA.
We now have a lap counting system called "LapMonitor" this is a much cheaper system that works for us and info can be found here; lapmonitor.com
UK store here; LapMonitor
We run 1/5th, 1/6th, 1/8th and 1/10th scale models. They may be powered by electricity, two stroke petrol engines and or Nitro engines, in the case of 1/5th cars the maximum engine size will be limited to 34cc.
1/5 cars and bashers now have their own separate track to run on.
Note, we have found if you don't run a silenced pipe at our track it will exceed our 80 decibel @ 20meters noise limit and you won't be able to run your car.
ALL petrol buggies must have a working remote kill switch (safety first).
