Anyone Into On-Road Rc Cars In Sydney?

[darksky34]

Hi all,

recently brought my RC car out of its coffin, am starting to do upgrade it from stock as i finally have funds for it. Looking for some people to race with (for fun!) in Sydney, preferably up north, like ryde, hornsby, chatswood etc. Does anyone know of any on-road tracks?

[CLNSKY]

There's one on the side of the road on the way to hot rocks. Looks awesome.

[darksky34]

oh realllllllly... i shall have to check this out but WHY SO FAR

[r32-25t]

There is what looks like one in moorebank, you can see it from the m5, I know it's not the area your after just thought I'd throw it out there

[luke gtr]

any big carpark late.

Do you actually want to race or just run for fun?

I used to be into racing years ago. My equipment is REALLY old by current standards. Castle Hill is probably still running as it was one of the larger clubs. Races Friday nights from memory, but can't remember the schedule. I was a regular at Brush Farm but I don't think they run anymore.

If you want to race, have a look at this site.

Oh, and there's a bunch of netball courts behind my house here in South Tuzza. But shame I don't have too much time to run.

Was thinking it would be fun if a bunch of people bought something like this and agreed to keep them bone stock. Now days with brushless and LiPo batteries would be loads of fun.

Theres tracks in tempe, mt druitt and windsor also. Windsor is an indoor track so means no nitro cars, batteries only.

I got a tamiya drifter thats been boxed up for a couple of years now.

[GTR-N1]

Mine is a new battery operated R34 GTR.

Never hit the road yet

Would like to win a SnS first pls

[darksky34]

Thanks for all the replies so far. I'm purely looking for a track to drive my car on, not competitive racing.

I'm aware of the tracks in Tempe + Castle hill, i think castle hill is the 'closest' for me, and i might give it a go, just emailing them to find out whether they open on weekends for practice drives. I've been in contact with the Castle hill club, and they did in fact inform me that there are no tracks up north/Hornsby.

Eric, Terry, NRV155 - perhaps we could all race together some time? Mine is a TB-02, got it way back in early 2000s...it is relatively stock! And by relatively i mean it has an upgraded (apparently - but only slightly) motor, and some soon-to-arrive suspension upgrades.

Oh and Terry - I have an R34GTR Z tune shell on the way, i will finally achieve my dream of owning a 10-second (1/10 ratio ahhahaha) GTR.

[Pezhead]

Hmmm you might not like me then. I've got a stock class X-ray 2003 that in its day way one of the top chassis to get.

Still maybe organise a play day in Nov. although Terry thinks I live too close to Hornsby to make the trek

[GTR-N1]

Ok you buzzards...

I set the rules here.

If Chris' and Eric's cars can outrun my N1 over 400m and avoid my 4 wheels, I'll offer them a hotlap

Game on terry, i have a porche GT3 2 speed 4wd 1:10scale nitro. Ill give you a run ha ha. The track at windsor is now closed. Used to take my electric drift car there, my nirto is collecting dust. The track at mount druit is good, and there is a hobby farm off the M5 somewhere to.

[Calsonic14U]

The mount druit track is in waylan reserve (dont ask if spelling correct) which is an old tennis court fully reserfaced with a permanent track. Has a really great long straight and a few config options if anyone wants to have fun racing let me know can meet you there one afternoon or weekend.

If your comming to texi Terry ill bring the Nitro

[darksky34]

This could be start of something guys! A meet/race once in a while could be real fun.

To be honest I'm not too fussed about being outsped etc, just looking for a track to race on + some friends to race with. Which brings me to my next point, whilst i cannot an ECU + engine + turbo overhaul for the R34, I can indeed afford an ECU + motor upgrade for the RC...I have plans already to stick in a brushless <10T motor!

[GTR-N1]

One advantage of an R-C weapon is that the driver can't be booked for speeding

Double Demerits invalid

But can the car be impounded?

[luke gtr]

I need radio gear, and engine and pipe.

then im ready to race.

[luke gtr]

my chassis....

[darksky34]

Nice Luke! put in a slow engine so i can keep up

[luke gtr]

Nice Luke! put in a slow engine so i can keep up

ive had the chassis for about 7 years.

i keep meaning to buy running gear, but always have other stuff id rather spend the money on.

will start collecting bits soon.
