The club holds regular race meets throughout the year for 1/10 scale electric powered RC cars & trucks. Our standard race meets are held on the 2nd and 4th weekends of every month.
During the warmer months of of the year (November to May), we run Saturday Twilight racing under lights. Racing starts at 4pm and finishes at approx. 10pm. In the colder months of the year (June through October) we shift racing to Sunday starting from 9:30am and finishing around 4pm.
Race registration and Membership is done via Clubmanrc.com and race results are published on the LiveRC web site.
The club is a member of the 1/10th Electric National Association: R.C.R.A. Affiliation to this association means our members can compete at any Club, State or National Championships throughout Australia.
On our club days we promote a fun and family friendly atmosphere. We run a variety of classes which you can see the details of below:

Track Race Timing
The cars carry a small transponder, each with a unique identifying code. As a car passes over the transponder loop imbedded in the track at the start/finish line, the transponder number is registered on the computer, which times each lap down to one hundreth of a second and also counts how many laps the car does in the 5-6 min race time. At the end of the race, the driver with the most amount of laps is the winner.
Transponders are available to borrow from the club, free of charge to use for the day. Personal transponders can also be used (AMBrc, Mylaps, etc). The club broadcasts race meets live to liverc.com.
