Now that the summer months are here we have moved out doors racing 1/10th electric off road buggies and trucks at Chippenham Rugby Club, which is just off the A350. If you don't have a buggy but would like to see what RC racing is all about the club owns two Kyosho Lazer Ready To Run buggies which can be hired out on club nights.
The venue is open from around 6.15pm with track building commencing shortly thereafter. Booking in for the races starts around 6.45pm and we look to start the first race between 7.15 to 7.30pm, and finish just before 10.00pm. We aim to run 4 rounds (races) each evening and use the latest timing equipment to accurately produce race times. Usually the last Tuesday meeting of each month is set aside as a “Finals” night, where we compete for the prestige, the glory and not forgetting, the chocolate!
You do not need to be a member of the club to race, although it is cheaper to race as a member, but if you are new to the club, your first race meeting is FREE.
Over the winter we move our racing indoors to Hardenhuish School where the majority of our racing is 10th scale electric on road touring cars. However if you have some other scale of electric car that you would like to race please come along. As long as we deem the car safe to race on the carpet we will find a heat for you to race in. If you don't have your own RC car the club has two complete sets which are available for hire.
