Thanks for the help but unfortunately I'll be in Maitland this weekend. When is the next meeting?

G'day fellas, I was thinking of getting me one of these xrc on roads, just had a few questions maybe someone could answer. I see you guys run them at moorebank, are these completely stock cars? From reading the website, is the 1/5 pro and xrc separate - pro for the expensive cars like fg etc and the xrc for obviously xrc and does this mean no mods to the xrc's? Are any hop up/ tuning parts available like a tuned pipe or suspension mods? Can any FG or harm parts fit these cars? What engine is fitted to these a 23cc CY?
Thanks in advance, I'll try to get down to moorebank on the 27th and check em out on the track for myself

These cars are basically stock bar a couple of electronic and strengthening enhancements these are done purely for reliability.However like all forms of motorsport all the fast guys spend alot of time on making the car easy to drive therefore they become faster.For a unbiased review see the latest racing lines mag they have done a fantastic write up.When you go along on the 27th to moorebank make sure you catch up with charlie, (he is the one helping everyone else) he will be able to answer all questions you may have.

MONAROMAN

Thanks brewer - saw the racing lines story, just picked one up today so I have some fun ahead.

To all

Yes i agree with Neil today was a great and fun day.

i would have enjoyed it more if my lay shaft gear didn't shred (hmm.. i think it was a bit of sabotage by Neil there..)

But all up fun was had by all with the placings:
1st: Paul
2nd: Keith
3rd: Jason
4th: Charlie
5th: Gary
6th: David (ie..Jimmy gogo(I THINK)
7th: Frank (i think)
8th: Neil (i think)
9th: Me (only 4 laps due to the gear shredding)

And Brewer are you coming up for the state titles??? (which i believe is in a fortnight)

Cheers
Mitchell
