    Hi to all model enthusiasts,


    I am a complete beginner from scratch and maybe if you could answer some of my fundamental questions you might help m get started please?


    1. I live in Dublin opposite the Phoenix park. Is there any clubs or racing agendas anywhere in Dublin that I could go to in order to see what the sport of either car or buggy RC racing is all about? My fear is buying a really nice model and racing it on my own!!!

    2. If someone experienced has the time could they possibly post me their mobile or home number?, maybe private message it to me and let me ask them some questions?

    Thank-you so much

    Dav

    Here check this link out on the Orca r/c Links page, Been working on mapping out the locations of each club around Ireland , pin pointing them on google maps. Click on the different tabs to show what classes and scales each club races plus there websites are also detailed.

    Not to hijack this thread but if anyone has any locations for other clubs even planes etc.. please pm or email me details and i will add to the map, Shops too if you want. Where possible please pin point of google maps so i have the exact point in Ireland then just Pm me a link of your map.
