It is one of the best races around and it is very cheap to go racing in Thailand

Rules and classes updated

Looks like a controlled class has been added To this years calendar

How about 2wd mini class?
Will they allow m06, in fact it's too plastic chassis, isn't it?

Best regards

Yea its cheap once you get there! LOL Its pretty pricey to get there from the US though!

Class rules are on the TITC website :cry::cry:

Looks like the lower brushless class and Mini are able to rent the motors and ESC (Speed Passion Cirtix with 17.5 for Mini and 13.5 for brushless)

Mini rules for this year eliminate the Xevo style Minis but will still allow the locals to take to their Minis with a dremel so that they can fit 27t pinions and aftermarket taller gearing.

Dont understand that type of logic ... but then again it is Thailand :lol::lol::lol:


Oh well that counts me out. Not spending days tearing a Mini apart that I am not allowed to use when I get home

The rules state ........

"2 (two) Wheels Drive either Front or Rear according to Chassis Made "

so that would mean M04 and the new M06 would be allowed as well

Is the entry for 2011 TITC already closed as per their site?

No :lol::lol:

Just a mistake on the website

Oooo I'm loving those rules..

Does anyone know if the spec brushless class is still restricted to "non works" drivers like it used to be??

Also is the venue confirmed yet

Luke

I suggest you have a look at the website. It has all the details

i was under the impression that those entry details were outdated and incorrect like the majority of the site....

yes, but it said just m03/05 and switch, and don't see what is the reason it didn't say m04 as well, then i don't know too why they are not allowing coming soon m06, just because in that time this car could surely the most famous 1 in the market, is what i guess...

I think that they give the M03, M05 and Switch as examples of injection plastic chassis cars.

Luke,

The dates and rules are for the 2011 race. The pics and old entry list are from last year

I think so, those are just translated from Thai, then maybe something is not complete.

Thanks for reply!

NICE~! Track is very nice. Only 15-minutes from my house.

Pictures?

JoeyE,

Can you give me an exact address for the RC City track. Need to work out where the best to stay is.

Last year at RC Addict we stayed all the way down at Sukhumvit. Sounded a lomg way away but the freeway made it easy

Basic entry form is online now.

Not sure how much the entry fees are though. Do the organisers inform you at a later date?

Here's a map of the RC City location.
It's in Thai but it's on Viphavadee-Rangsit Road Soi 84. Its about 2km north of the old Don Muang airport in north Bangkok. Any taxi driver will know Future Park Mall or Zeer Rangsit IT Mall.

I heard there's news of date changes wonder if thats true.

THey are considering bringing it forward one week so as not to clash with the Euro indoors

Phew, lucky I didn't book the tickets yet. It will be my first time going to TITC and after I reading last years thread I think they had a similar situation with changing dates.

If you are flying from NZ, keep an eye on the Emirates airlines prices. They do good deals on flights to Bangkok and fly into Auckland via Sydney

If you run your Mini under Mini rules that I have seen from NZ you will get slaughtered. In Thailand the Minis are not restricted in gearing and the racers there dremel huge holes in the chassis so that they can mount 27t pinions with the speed gear sets. Then they dremel away half the chassis.

Last yaer the entry fee for Mini was 3000 baht (around $AUD100) but that included a ESC and motor , t shirt and tyres and banquet on last day. This year will be a little bit different. I assume the price will be up soon

I'll be flying from China so it will most likely be with Air Asia. If I book now I can get return flights for about $200 AUD (plus luggage)... lol, don't get much else on Air Asia though. Air Asia is great for travel within Asia.

Haven't decided what class(es) to run yet but looking at the formula class (with a TF108) and maybe mini or brushless stock but I still need to get some more gear and practice and decide then. Those archaic Mini rules in NZ has been like that since the M01 was around. At least now they are "allowed" to use an ESC....rofl. I guess at least it keeps the costs down.

$100 AUD including the other items is reasonable enough. I like the control items, it's keeps people on a more level playing field..... Then again some of those mini mods seem pretty extreme.

Be careful of the F1 rules. At the last moment this year they announced only F103, F104 and the HPI F Ten were allowed to be used. A lot of guys with F109 etc were not happy

I emailed itaru directly regarding the possible change in schedules. He said though that the dates will not change even if there's conflict with the euro indoor champs. But don't take my word for it, suggest you email him as well to get confirmation ... :)

Yes I have heard that they have now decided not to change the date. It is the same issue as in Feb this year

Very useful info to know, thanks.

You might note that the F1 final is a 30 minute race in case you hadn't seen it .. with tyre and battery change. On some of the F1's changing tyres means undoing the diff .... very ugly idea

I noticed the 30 min final. That will require a lot on concentration but at least it won't be the middle of summer.

The TF108 uses a diff similar to the F104 so changing tyres won't be an issue. I have a shelf queen F103 I built from parts that I can use if I have to. The TF108 diff/axle will fit straight in.

If they allow F109's that could be an issue for them though. From memory (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) they use the 3racing F103 diff/axle parts.

....... hmm, have to work out how to rig up two high speed powerdrills in pit lane for super quick tire changes :sneaky:

Hello,
I am sorry but this is off topic but i am looking for a good hobby shop in Bangkok Thailand that carries some onroad cars?

Thank you for your input.

RCS, Siam Tamiya, FRC, Maxima, Concept Toy, Turbo Hobby, Puen RC, TT Hobby....long list. Check out www.9turbo.com and use Google Translate.

You can fit the 3racing F104 out-tuned diff to the 109, diff problem sorted...

9turbo will be there? they make good ESC.:nod:
