Vintage Bash Rules:

​

Eligibility

​

1/ The 2WD or 4WD buggy must have been released and raced before Jan 2000 to be considered "Vintage" , re-released buggies, such as the recent models from Tamiya, Team Associated, Kyosho and Schumacher are also deemed eligible.

If you’re concerned about your buggy’s eligibility, ask us here and we can confirm /deny entry.

We recommend try keeping your buggy as standard as possible as to what was seen racing on track back in the day.

2/ Please keep in mind the spirit of this class , a lot of these cars are fragile and parts can be hard to impossible to source, Exhibition is what this class is all about !

As such , we are keeping the ruling simple :

​

General Vintage Rules:

1/ Only 2s Lipo batteries that appear on the RCRA battery list may be used or for the purists, 6 cell Nicd/ Nimh

2/ Brushless Speed controllers to be used in "Blinky" mode only , no boost

3/ Weight limit as follows :

2wd 1450gm , 4wd 1550gm - this will not be checked , although if cars are seen to have been modified to the extreme in regards to weight saving, the weight limit rule will come in at the race director's discretion.

4/ Wheels are obviously allowed to be changed in order to use modern style tyres.

No truck wheels to be used on buggies , remember we are trying to keep them looking like they did 20+ years ago.

2WD and 4WD must run 'pin' type tires, no modern 'bar' type. In addition, 2WD must run ribbed fronts.

5/ The maximum permitted buggy width is 250mm , we ask you to try do whatever is possible to keep your vintage buggy within this limit understanding that in some instances your vintage buggy with a new style wheel conversion may be close or even slightly over this width.
