I'm just hoping it will turn out to be a little cheaper than TC. So far it isn't by much. But I did enjoy doing it when I had one, but no one else really ran them. But with Lipo coming, might as well give it another shot.

Yup, I think the pan cars are gonna be hot in the future.

I'm still running on my first set of WGT foams and zero breakage on the 10R5 and the 12R5 looks every bit as tough.

Plus the fact that the link cars work well on our "semi offroad" carpet track.

Scotty thats an easy one, it is, always will be. Cars just dont break. With Lipo, its even simpler. Im running 12th stock, WGT and probably 12th mod at the Wcics, and Ill have a TC to play with also, but im watching my $. Im sure once i strip the racecar there will be $ needed for that.

I'm only running 12th and World GT this year. ( + the odd mini race too probably)

It does sound like there will be enough pans cars regularly to get a heat at the club.

Just wondering for club racing, are we going to bunch 12th and WGT together again? I didn’t mind that last season. I guess if there are enough numbers, we won’t need to.

Nice to see you coming back Kerry and hope to see you race more Scott L.

Are we meeting at the club for the AGM next week?

Alright guys, looking for more stuff.

I need a 13.5 motor and I guess a 17.5 motor (as much as it pains me to run a 17.5) for my 12 scale. Looking for last year's Mad Scientist stuff, or things like that. Just let me know.

Now I have never been out to the carcar track before but iam just wondering, 12th scale is going to be 4 cell 17.5 and 1 cell lipo 17.5 ? wont the 4 cell guys be at a huge advantage? Iam in ontario at the moment and was out to the local trac last night and for stock 12th scale it was 17.5 4 cell or 13.5 1 cell lipo, the lipo cars were only a hair faster.

Just curious

yep thats the current situation Chad, we will be investigating everything when the season starts. Im sure some will have 1s 17.5's and some will try 1s 13.5's and all info will be tallied and rules set for the big series, the WCICS. Carcar rules will follow the WCICS.

Its never fun trying to set up rules with changing technology lol.
