Over 3 weeks to go, pretty impressive numbers Rob, I wonder if we might get some southern drivers?
I might re-enter to make up 30

You do have me looking up flight costs. No promises though.

All race meetings of this standard need a token interstate driver to attend them Daniel. If that is you, let me know, because we will work out transport too and from the airport for you and accommodation if you are staying overnight.

I have been racing 12th scale for some time now and have tried a few esc combos including hobbywing,lrp and orion r10 i have been using the viper vtx1 for over a year and it is by far the best esc i have ever used.
It is very smooth and highly adjustable,also small in comparison to others.
The speed passion has a large foot print and a large caps and is also heavy.

I looked at these but just didn't know enough about them, they look good.

For thirty dollars though the Trackstar ESC is good value, it may have some shortcomings, they can be an advantage to those new to 12th scale.

WHERE: Sunshine Coast Radio Control Car Club
WHEN: Sunday 12 January, from 8.am
WHAT: EuroStock

It is that time of the year again, where we start to think about racing and what the year has in store for us. With only 4 weeks till the first round of the 12th Tour of SEQ, we have this one and only opportunity to get in some well needed practice, race experience, setup and tuning before we get totally serious and start battling out the series. And with big trophies, bragging rights and honor at stake, the start of the race year has never looked brighter.

There has been a lot of talk around the traps about who is going to dominate, and whom is going to beat whom and more importantly, who is going to be the first to hit the Holy Grail of 26 laps in 8mins.

12th scale newbie, convert and now 12th scale devotee Tim Weier has been silently in the background putting together a car, getting tuning options and bodies together in preparation for the series and has been issuing the challenge to all and sundry that he is going to be the first to hit the 26 laps

Like wise, young gun Johnny (Not Banned) La Spina thinks that youthful enthusiasm and 12 hours of Forza on Xbox a day is going to give him the advantage and that he has the edge over everyone.

Even the whiley old dog Graham Lloyd Jones, the Steven Bradbury of 12th scale thinks he is in with a show here. He has runs on the board, and a distinct home town advantage that could prove useful when the others all get caught up with racing each other.

Clayton Hughes certainly looked the best at the last club day, with pole position and top qualifier, but was just unlucky with traffic getting body tangled by yours truly putting him out of final 1 and getting caught up in a ding dong battle with Timmy in final 2. Clayton could certainly make claim for being favorite for the series.

And there are still a lot of others who I know are going to make a real good showing, Ray Griffiths, Trevor Connors, Shannon Overson, Nathan Unwin, Adam Gustafson, the Keuleman's, the Chun's, the Fahey's and Team Irvine, and the Vallely's. The mid pack is going to be huge and the battles massive.

See many of you on the 12th for the prequel to round 1 of the tour. Lets get racing.

Few questions around the 26th..

What time does the race start ? What time you think it could finish ? How far from the airport is the track ?

Thanks
Alex

On the 26th, racing will start about 9am, and should be done by 4pm at the latest. The Airport is about 45mins away from the track. If you are thinking about coming up Alex, we will be able to arrange transport to and from the airport if you need it.

Rob , wishfully thinking ppl would be able to make race time for 26th maybe you have forgotten daylight saving and sydney airport curfews I'm not knocking the thought but 9.00am start would not get ppl from sydney there on the day they would have to fly the 25 th and stay the night .....

Wow Steve, such negativity, perhaps you should either come and race the class or spend more time promoting the class you drive so that you get to race with 30 people too and not just 3.

At the end of the day the only thing that matters is bums on seats and I am doing everything that I can to get guys from NSW to come up and race with us.

Cavey

Negativity ?? Maybe your the negative one I'm only pointing out the facts champ go ahead invite ppl from other states but I think they would come to race not to watch after arriving late just sometimes you have to face the facts about time you were a realist being an organiser of this event don't you think !! Maybe a change of starting time would go along way !!
