Chris Cristo cleans up at JConcepts NE Championship

X-Factory are reporting that their drivers Mike Wilder, Chris Cristo, and Brian Kinwald took home lots of silverware from the JConcepts North East Championship race held at R/C Excitement in Fitchburg, Mass. last weekend. Cristo absolutely dominated the 13.5 buggy and truck classes, TQing and winning each by a lap or more with his X-6 Squared and X-60. In stock short course, Cristo again TQd and won, this time with his SCX-60. Wilder, who qualified 3rd in mod truck, battled back and forth for most of the race with several other trucks, taking a slim lead with two laps to go and holding on for the win in his X-60. Mike also qualified and finished 3rd in pro mod short course. Brian Kinwald qualified fourth in mod buggy and through the 8 minute A main methodically worked his way to the front, finally taking over first place with just a few laps to go.  On the second-to-last corner, the second place buggy ran into the back of Brian’s X-6 Squared, and the ensuing crash allowed the third place car through for the win, with Brian finishing third. In pro mod short course, Brian qualified second with his SCX-60 and finished there, making it X Factory 2 & 3.
