We could all put a set of rules up for a vote and they will all be different the only way to do it is to have 2 reps from each club sit down and agree a set for the future this is getting us nowhere. Paul i emailed you a copy of the March rules if we have to go it alone we will do. Not saying that our rules are perfect but we need a starting point.I would rather be able to race at other clubs on a level playing field and just get racing, just this week we have another 2 members who have just got cars, the way this is growing the rules can't be far off as they are.

This will be my last post on this subject, March will vote on the rule's Friday and if voted in they will be in all year, if that mean's we can't race anywhere else so be it. Good luck guys

A peice of info for you.
I weighed the Ansmann and the Tamiya TT01 today ;
The Ansmann weighed in at 1836g
The TT01 weighed in at 1734g
Both had the same battery in and both had wings on.
Because of the big difference i think you should be able to put weight in a TT01 (if you want to). Or put the Ansmann on a diet Rolling Eyes
