Meet the club first.
The best way to find out about RC racing is to see it. Contact the club to arrange a visit to a meeting, take a look around and ask about the classes we run.
Ask about your first visit ↗Your first race.
Your new favourite Sunday.
A little preparation is all it takes. Here’s how to get started at Bury Metro.
Start with the right advice.
We race 1/10 scale electric off-road cars. Before buying a car or equipment, ask the club which classes are currently running and what suits your experience and budget.
- A suitable car and radio transmitter
- Compatible batteries and a suitable charger
- Tyres appropriate to the track surface
- Basic tools and useful spares
Ask about transponder requirements, battery charging rules and any BRCA requirements before entering your first meeting.
A day at the races.
Confirm your entry, check the arrival time and give yourself time to get set up. Let the organisers know it’s your first meeting so they can explain the format and marshalling.
Listen to the drivers’ briefing, follow the track rules and enjoy learning at your own pace.
A few good questions.
Can I visit before entering a race?
Contact the club to arrange a visit to a meeting. It’s a good chance to see what’s involved before choosing equipment.
Which car should I buy?
Ask the club before buying. The best choice depends on the classes running, your budget and whether you want to race indoors or outdoors.
