2007 AGM Update:

After Much enjoyable discussion, a few things have been decided upon. I'll list them in a nice clear fashion :)
  • Membership and race fees have been frozen for a further year. Please come see us during any meeting to find out about becoming a member :)
  • Next year's race calendar has been decided upon.
  • Hard cased LiPo batteries are now legal for use.
  • LRP/Nosram VTec27R's are now legal for use for the first series of 2008, as well as the old CS22's.
  • We're also reinstating the 19t class, to be used alongside 10.5t Brushless motors for the first series of 2008.
  • Both the use of 10.5BL motors and the VTec/Nosram 27R's are simply under trial for the first series. Their use is to be evaluated after that.

In addition to the above, we've also compiled a complete list of batteries/motors that will now be legal for use:

27t Class.
27t brushed stock motors only, as per BRCA List with additions of;
