15th MAY @ Ardent F1 rules

What are they?

I asked John on the Ardent wall and he said BRCA, does that mean GP1 & GP2?

F1 can run 10.5 and 1s or 17.5 and 2s

Thats defo is it?

That will rule me out then

why whats your setup bud ?

Well if you are Running a G2 motor whats the power set up 4 cell or 2s Lipo or what ?

If we can get a heat of the same then its no problem 5 or more say

I am Running the BRCA GP2

G2 Motor
205mm Width
45mm Tyres
2s Lipo
1050g min weight

I do have a 10.5 i could put in if it was a true open, but 17.5 2s* and 10.5 1s thats like your own rule set that i am not geared for

*this would be GP1 but my F109 is too wide in the BRCA rules to run this

as per these here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Daz We / I dont know who made them rules but there awfull and hence only a hand full booked in they should have asked some on who runs F1 and it appears that 13.5 and 1s would have been 10 times better and possable more entrys

Hence If more people turn up to this event we hope the BRCA can see what people really want

But at the end of the day its just for fun dont take it to serious as its a fun meting is what Paul planned

so its like a battle atm over whos rules will win?

I think it will give less turn out for both possibly, although the BRCA rules need changing slightly until the series has been supported and got its own comitee its not going change its likely to die away

i will look into the availability of getting a 1s Lipo, what else will i need?

Is there a rule set published anywhere?

Hold ya horse's there Daz . . .there is no battle over rules mate its just a laid back Fun meeting and we are trying to cater for every one but as there are few numbers in the BRCA event then there is something wrong yes

So if this event draws more people then we have found what F1 drivers want

if its the same amount then there is no intrest in F1 would be a good guide

just to save any confusion

the brca event is this weekend 8th may

and the rccircuitcars meet is 15th may

2 different events

Yeah i know, i am entered for the BRCA

Simon told me there was F1 racing the Sunday following and here i am... I am trying to work out if my car can race

Not wanting to try and stir up trouble its just an observation from someone new back into the sport, i got my F109 about 3-4months ago

lol dont worry dazzler i know there is no malice bud (text and forums lol seem weird to me when ya dont know how its meant)

the series on the 15th is all about fun buddy if the guys can get ya car in a class they will bend over back wards lol cant ssay they wont take ya out on track but we all help

nice to get some one back in the sport love watching the f1's go round even better when they have a team based shell instead of one colour

no its ok Daz you not stirring it up a straight forward question and I will answwer as best I can


You keep um coming son there will always be some one who can help

back to the drawing board suppose

I could buy 1s Lipo, i think my tekin rs pro will run a 1s, will i need anything else?

LiPo booster. . . we are in chat room main page at the bottom

I know that me nick and dez etc all have been racing f1's for a year or two now and we came to 17.5 or 13.5 2s was plenty fast enough.
If it goes 13.5 1s for f1 I wont bother racing as its as slow as 2s with a G2 and f1 should be fast like the real thing.

I would like to be able to run my car I used for ardents winter series with its 2s and mardave g2 brushless in but dont mind if it went 17.5 or 21.5 even on 2s lipo.
Those who ran in the winter series all ended up exactly the same speed down the straight and it needed skill to handle the car whereas g2 silvercan and 13.5 1s in a car with the grip and tyre size of a wide f1 doesnt need any such ability and the person who wins will not be nessercarily the best driver but the driver with a reasonable amount of skill and the fastest silvercan.

For example anybody can make 0.4 on someone down the straight if they have a faster car in a straightline then even if they lose 0.3 thorugh the other 3/4 of the track in laptime then they will still be ahead and that to me puts too much emphasis on motor prep than driver/setup skill.

A control motor is a good idea but a brushless one would be alot better, I am not up for spending £9.95 a run on getting the best out of a silvercan for each race or even £9.95 each meeting is a pee take when I can get a sealed brushless 17.5 speed passion f1 motor for £14 that will last me 2 years.

Even my mardave brushless I use in my f1 is perfect it was one of the first systems chris sent out and its still going strong and has never let me down over 4 years of racing it nearly every week of plug and play. This is why I cant justify to myself spending what is required on racing silvercan f1 each week, which sucks because I love f1 racing and have enjoyed it more than any other class and the cars look stunning going round.

myself and 3 others will do the f1 meets if you run better rules than the brca ones, ie F1 can run 10.5 and 1s or 17.5 and 2s

just awaiting my car so carnt make 1st one

After today me and all the f1 faithfull have kinda agreed to go brushless 2s for next weekend. All power will be 2s I think as the weight difference is a pain in the ass to police.

So going 17.5 2S? I will get a motor this week

me at august meeting....
