Club Racing in South East Queensland

South-east Queensland is blessed with some great club racing action. Check out these clubs and we’ll see you at the track (actually, we’ll race you there). Also below the club listing I have a few notes on what classes are commonly raced around the SEQ clubs.

ELECTRIC ONROAD

540. This is basically a beginners class but is also often frequented by drivers who just want good cheap fun. The only motor that is legal in the class in Qld. is the Johnson Grey motor (classification 583.) Most clubs will allow the standard silver motor that comes with Tamiya cars at club level but at the Interclubs or State Titles it’s only the grey Johnson that is allowed. These are a $20 motor and if cared for reasonably with a little oil on the end bushings between races will last a long time. Racing is available for 540 at most clubs.

STOCK. This is a mixed brushed / brushless class. The standard stock brushed 27t motor is still allowed and there are some brushless motors allowed as well. These are the approved 17.5 motors as per the ROAR list – to run brushless motors you will need a brushless capable speed control. Most drivers are now running LIPO batteries in this class as well – as per the ORRCA approval list. This is the strongest electric class at most clubs around SEQ.

MODIFIED There is usually a small mod class racing at club level at most of teh clubs at the moment including Brendale and possibly Sunny Coast.

NITRO. Two classes of nitro are run basically as per the Interclub rules elsewhere on this site . At the moment it’s Brendale and Bayside and Sunny Coast where most of the nitro action is – oocassionally at Logan as well.
