Set-up Tips
I have created this page to help novice and experienced drivers alike, as Ascar R/C Racing is a new scale radio controlled formula starting in 2001.
1/10th scale touring cars can be quite difficult to set up, with many different variables involved.
With this new formula we have the additional interest of setting up the cars for running on all the different Oval Tracks around the U.K.
I plan to provide you with some links to sites where you can find car set-up advice.Both to scale Radio Control sites, as well as full-sized car racing sites.
You will find the Ascar R/C Racing Forum on the Guestbook page.
I would hope visitors could leave any tips and advice on this Forum, to help new drivers starting out in this interesting new formula!
