Default Meakin Park 1/10 EP Touring 13.5T one make spec class

Hi All,

Firstly, a very big thank you to Michael Sherman at SpeedyRC for sourcing and stocking all the gear required for this class - Please have a chat to Mick if you're keen to join us or visit his website: www.speedyrc.com.au

The idea behind this class is to create something that is as fun as the Tamiya Trucks but more complex, so it's more engaging and challenging.

Starting next race meet (23 June 2018) at Meakin Park, a couple of us will be trialling a new spec class that is designed to promote close racing with near identical cars and locked FDR. We're still working on the minor details, but this class will be based on the following:

Hardware

Chassis - Xpress Execute XQ1S
Hobbywing G1 13.5T
Team Zombie hardcase 7.4v 5500mah 75c lipo
Protoform Chevrolet Corvette C7.R (Winter Series)
Rush 36X pre-glued rubber tyres
Open blinky ESC/Hobbywing XR10 Justock (Read rules below)
Open radio gear
One motor fan up to 40mm allowed

Bodyshell:
- Lower body cuts must be on the factory line
- Front wheels aligned to the middle of the front wheel well
- Factory provided rear wing mounted in the factory designated hole on the body but any of the four factory designated holes on the wing can be used for adjusting downforce

Tyres:

ESC:

Remarks

We welcome everyone from beginners to title winning veterans to join us in this budget conscious class. Hopefully, we can foster a sense of "team" with this spec class, where knowledge is shared and newcomers have people to turn to for questions and advice. We would also like to ask that the winners of each club meet to share their car setup on here
