Does the club have handout transponders ? |

KMRC no longer has handout transponders as these are now obsoulete, however we do have a limited supply of personal transponders that you can hire for the day subject to a £20 deposit |
|
What Is Marshalling? How Do I Marshall? |
|
In RC car racing, the drivers from the previous race (or their nominated substitute) stand in strategic positions around the race track. Their job is to right crashed cars and replace disturbed corner markers etc. Any car that has broken down is placed upside down at the track perimeter. When marshalling, try to watch only your corner and not the race, marshal any crashed cars as quickly as you can, but take care not to disrupt any other cars on the race track. It's best to marshall a car as you would expect your own car to be marshalled. |
|
How Long Is A Race? |
|
Usually KMRC run 3 rounds of Qualifying heats of 5 minutes Following this ALL drivers will get a place in a respective final (this is decided by times done in qualifying) Finals are a minimum of 15 minutes long however normally finals are 20 minutes long (subject to numbers) |
|
Can i practice at KMRC when there is not a race meeting on ? |
|
Due to sharing the field with the local RC flight club we are currently unable to use the track any other time than scheduled race days. ANYONE FOUND TO BE USING THE TRACK WITHOUT PERMISSION WILL BE BANNED FOR LIFE FROM THE CLUB! |

The track is about 15 minutes from the Maidstone M20 junction just outside the village of Linton. From the M20 Junction 6 take the A229 towards Hastings and Staplehurst. You will go through the village of Linton. Follow the A229 down the hill until the road flattens out, then take the first right hand turn, Redwall Lane. Follow this road for about half a mile where you will see a new built red brick oast house. Immediately past this on the left is the farm dirt track, follow this to the end, about 400m and you will have arrived. Please observe the 10mph speed limit. Booking in is open from 8 till 8.30. We aim to start racing at 9
