is it just double sided tape from tamiya? Do you have a part number??

thank you
When you buy new tires or wheels can't remember which, they come with the tape.

For club racing it would make sense to mix silver cans and the spec brushless motors, and mix Tamiya tires and JACOs. That way the club races are closer and lower cost, yet the changes are fairly small to run TCS.

I'll bring a GT2 on Saturday, hoping others will too.

lol guys, its the second post of this thread.

We had request to go back to 3 qualifiers and the main instead of 2 qualifiers and the main.

We could do that if we all show up early on time for registrations and starting the first heat by 10.30 would be great as after the first heat we break for lunch at 12 or 12.30 and go back to racing .

Thumbs up

Despite the low turn outs. We all had a good time racing. Could have 3 qualifiers and the main but everyone shows up late unfortunately.
Set up was done on Friday nite. Thanks to my crew.

Saturday tear down was excellent. Like to thank everyone that had came and stayed to help tear down. I still can't figure out how Nospoom can roll an entire roll by himself in less than 6 minutes. Yes I timed you. Haa.haa.

Attached are the results. The 12 scales looking very promising for this season. WGT guys, u need to bring the cars out. F1 debut, John T brought his beautiful Ferrari out for some fun.
Hope this week we get to see more of the foams guys out. See you all soon.

The new driver's stand is awesome; thanks to Tommy for all his work!

The layout was good, grip came right up, everybody seemed to have a good time.

I thought the mix of racing and practice time was fine; it gave plenty of time to try a lot of setup changes on my Mini. I spent qualifying working on open-Tamiya-tire setups (Canadian TCS), then in the break before the main I worked on a spec-Tamiya-tire (USA TCS) setup, and ran it in the main. The spec tire ended up being about the same performance as open, surely under a tenth per lap between the two.

Chris was really laying it down in stock TC; notice that he had the second-quickest lap behind Keith. Way to go Chris!

The tape comes with the foam tires. If you should lose the tape, the Tamiya part number for it is 19808234 (enough tape for two fronts and two rears).

With Chris giving it up and closing GO R/C and now Overgear being the only show in town, is anyone interested in starting a donation to buy CRC clicktrack?

I know there was a bit of talk with Ryan about this at the Chilliwack race after we all saw the setup/ teardown of the IROCC track over the Chill weekend.

The stuff is awesome and would make the days quicker while providing a better track.

Default CRC click track.

As we all had "tasted" the Click tracks that was brought over from the Victoria boys. There have been talks amoung the group. OGR could not afford to go and buy the track system as the club is a non profit club. All the monies is put back into the rent, equipment,track etc for the racers.

We would be delighted to start collecting donations towards the track.
The new track system would be approx $2800 but we still need to confirm this with the supplier as shipping cost would probably be extra.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, so we can move forward in gaining a top notch track system for everyone to enjoy. NO MORE DOTSSS!!!!!
