Remote Control Bangers!; Take a look!

Hey guys, i was wondering if any of you who live near / can travel to somewhere near newbury (can be between newbury and reading, can be decided later) were interested in making an R/C banger club!

It would be based around racing Mardave V12s, these are already banger raced and you can get a wide amount of classic car bodyshells from ebay, this is a great hobby and i would love to race with my fellow diecasters!

Ill post pics of my mardave when photobucket starts working but here are some RC banger videos anyway:

Also before you start worrying about damaging the RC car and having to buy spares, these cars are VERY strong, most of the parts are made from nylon (of not you can buy nylon parts) and ive only ever broke mine once when some little kid decided to crush it with his bike. Also bodyshells are not expensive (£5.00 per shell) and its great fun crashing them until the bodyshells fall to pieces!

look through all the banger shells by clicking here!

and if you dont fancy building one yourself, look here! but please make sure if you're buying one to get a V12 rather than a ministock.

Thanks guys, i hope you enjoyed reading my post!

EDIT: Cant post pics yet, gotta wait for a new shell to come as mine was destroyed when it was left out after detailing it for 2 hours, stupid range rover.

£120 would get you started, then the occasional bodyshell and your good to go!

For the fun factor of it, its really worth it!

Please, please stop double posting, it would be understandable if they were days apart but double posting after 1 miniute?

Please stop playing moderator. If there's an issue report it to myself or one of the moderators or administrators, but please don't take action into your own hands.

I admit double posts can be annoying, but if one involves a quote I can understand it- he's replying to both the original post and then to one of the replies.

Sorry swifty, i have reported a lot of his double posting, hes a new member so i thought he might not have experience with forums.

I also sent him a PM about using the edit button :)

EDIT: Bangerkid, its kamtec.com , not kemtec :)
