Budget Short Course Racing
« on: February 25, 2010, 08:15:48 pm »
Hi All,

Just thought I would say I have joined the class of short course racing, but as a club we have gone about it in a different way.

We are in the final talks of starting a Budge Short Course class with following rule.

- Car to use is the Strada Short Course Racer
- Receiver can be changed.
- Motor and pinion can be changed
- Any 7.2 NiMh Stick pack.
- Everything else remains standard and that includes ESC and steering servo.

This way the class is down to who can drive and not who has the most money, plus it is easy to get into the class fore new comers as these cars only retail for £125.00 including battery.


As soon as we have had our first race I will get some pictures up.
