Breaking News / Coming eventsThe 2010 Mid Year EnduroDue to the success of last year's end of year enduro we are holding another 4 hour enduro on the 18th July to mark the end of Series 1 for this year. All members and other clubs are welcome to join in for what is bound to be a fun four hours of RC mayhem. So get your cars tuned up for a long session as each of you will be driving for about an hour in total. If you want to enter please fill in the entry form. Or contact Shane or Nick by email, see contacts page. The Vintage Meet Scheduled for 27th June Postponed.OK, so it has been decided, due to a number of factors including the Club Series re-run, the current state of the track after it was flooded for a week, and delays in getting things organised we have we will postpone this year's Vintage Meet to later in the year (possibly mid to late July or early August). The intention is to hold it sometime after the working bee on 3 July so the somewhat fragile old girls have a nice clean track to run on (relatively clean). We will announce the actual date soon and rules and entry forms will follow shortly afterwards. Hopefully this will mean we wil get a good turn out to this always top fun event. Stayed tuned. Club Series NSW Entries Are OpenDue to the event in May being rained out entries are open again for Round 2.4 of the Club Series NSW now on Sunday 27th May at Maitland, so get your entries in as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Short Course Championships and Ryde Open.On 31st January we held the first Northern Beaches Hobbies Short Course Championships and the RC Pit Ryde Open, click here for the results.Some Changes to General Club Racing Rules.- Lipo (7.4V) now legal in all classes. They do not need to be ROAR legal but must be hard case. Lipo sacks must still be used. - All 1/10 540 based brushless motor systems are legal to run in mod classes. So this includes Mamba / Traxxas and many other RTR systems that were not deemed to be legal previously. - 13.5 BL motors will not be legal in stock from now on, but are ok for mod. Brushless stock motors are 17.5T only. New Short Course Rules for 2010.There have been some changes to the Short Course rules which we have added to the rules on the Downloads page: - There are now three classes, Box Stock, Pro 2 and Pro 4. - Box Stock is any comercially available 2wd short course rtr vehicle (or kit made to rtr spec). Only radio, battery, battery/motor conectors and shock oil can be altered. This class is intended for use only during major events. - Pro 2 is basically the old 13.5 Class and is open to all 2WD Short Course Racing type trucks such as Traxxas Slash and SC10, motor limit of 13.5T brushless and tyres are limited to those specifically made for Short Course trucks. - Pro 4 is an "Open" class for 4WD and modified motor Short Course Racing type trucks. - Hard case LiPo's are acceptable in all classes. If batteries are not ROAR approved then they need to be passed by the race director.
