St Ives radio control car club

The people cried “we need more jumps” and it was done.

May your front arms live long and happy lives.

UPDATE: Confirmed! Racing is on for Sunday 22nd March, 2009! See you trackside before 10am.

Depending on progress of building the new track today, there is a good chance we’ll be running a special club day this Sunday, 22 March 2009.

This will be the first club meet on the brand new track.

I’ll post an update later this evening.

For all who want to show their true colours at the next Club series, I have available a very limited run of custom St. Ives club stickers especially designed for 1/10 vehicles.

$3 will get you:

• 1x large sticker (100×15mm – perfect size for spoiler)
• 2x smaller stickers (70×10mm)

2 colour schemes are available:

• White ink with black outlines on clear adhesive
• SILVER ink with black outlines on clear adhesive

Please note no profit is being made on this and there are not enough for every club member.

If you’re interested, contact me with quantity and colour choice.

OK members. Only 2 weeks until we host the first round of the 2009 Club Series. Any members wishing to compete this year, please get your entries in over the next couple of days.

Visit www.clubseriesnsw.com for paper entry forms or on-line entries.

It would help to get it in early rather than wait till the last minute.

The St Ives track will be rebuilt beginning tomorrow morning. Council has given full approval to the plans submitted and after many discussions they have approved in full the rebuild of the track.

We have approval to bring in new clay and design the track to the spec that has been circulated to the members. This is fantastic news as it will allow us to race on a world class track.

We will be working for the next 4 days full time on the track so please come up and lend a hand on the weekend.

See you all at the track!

Bugle has been working on converting an Associated B3 into a 4wd buggy. Based on a similar design by MIP for the original alloy RC10, this car features a hand-made custom front gearbox, steering rack, suspension towers and CVD’s.

Last Sunday marked a bit of a milestone for the club as it will be the last race on the track as we know it. With council approval granted, the offroad track is about to undergo a complete rebuild – new surface, new layout and new jumps.

We had a great turnout with all classes well represented. We also saw the debut appearance of Bugle’s B34 – a custom made 4wd buggy based on the Associated B3.

Photos from the day are available here.
