|Zip are there power points mate? for charging etc

Unfortunately not in the main hall itself. I went there last night to pay for the hall and had a good look round for power points, so we can hook up the PA system.

There is just one plug, in one of the store cupboards, that we will use for the race announcer.

So, your options are to either bring a 12V battery, hook onto someone else's battery (I'm sure someone will let you) or use one of the plugs I saw in the reception area. The only problem with that is you wont be able to keep an eye on your cells or your stuff if charging out of the main hall.

I've already got someone sharing my battery, but I will see if I can source any other 12V batteries for others to use. I'll let you know if I get any.

thanks that would be great :)

im using a millenium pro so will be ine off a batt i havent got the bulldog clip style connectors for it tho :(

Try maplins, if not just use elastic bands?

Cheers guys ill have a go it may be suped up but my poor little df wont know whats hit it lol

You & your car will be fine. We have drivers at all different abilities and quite a few still run brushed motors.

Not long now!! :clap:
