Welcome to the home of Team shambles.  The Shambolic RC-Racing team.

Based in Nottingham, England, Team shambles are a group of radio controlled car racers who go against the norm and shun neat and tidiness when it comes to racing, as long as wires are not hanging out of the car that is enough for them. They are not organised enough to have a team principle, or just to have principles for that matter, care not for precision engineering, as long as nothing is hanging off their cars (well just about hanging on) then it is fine and will hopefully make the race distance.  Don't replace broken items when they can be fixed with Gaffa tape or cable ties. Pitting space to Team Shambles is just somewhere to dump your stuff after you have finished using it, after all you can always tidy things away when you pack up to go home, also if anything gets lost then it is less to pack away. The phrase PPPPP (Perfect Preperation Prevents Poor Performance) does not apply to team shambles (In fact Ant has trouble spelling it).

15.03.10 - Shamcar 1
Monday, 15 March 2010 01:27

Shamcar 1 is being prepped for it's 24 hour debut.  Graham "Blitzboy" Smith has been busy doing the bodyshell for the event and it glows, literally actually!  Now all we need to do is leave it under a light for 24 hours before the race and it will efinatly stand out when the lights are dimmed during the race. More mechanical items need to be done to the car first but they will be done before we leave. Thans to Phat bodies for the great bodyshell!  Check out http://www.customblitz.co.uk/ for more examples of Grahams great work.

Team Shambles can be now followed on twitter.. Thanks to Captain shambles for setting this up although it did take him twelve attempts. The first eleven attempts ended up in a broken link, a bit like his B4 then.
