I have big things going on in my racing program for 2022 and beyond. My passion for RC in general is big and I’ve always liked to drive touring cars and now with my indoor facility I’ve had the chance to drive more onroad than ever before. It’s with lots of excitement I hereby announce that I will now be a part of the Awesomatix Factory Team. I’m looking forward to attend as many races possible including the World Championships. The ETS in December will be my first race with the car and I’ll be ready to battle.

From Pirani RC for the Mugen MRX-6X is this carbon fibre radio plate stiffener. Machined from 2,5mm thick carbon, it mounts directly to the front of the radio plate, bridging the front of the plate at three points to create a much stiffer assembly. This part helps make the car easier to drive in high grip conditions.

Surpass Hobby have introduced their new Rocket Supersonic power combo set. Featuring the new Rocket Supersonic motor which has a built-in temperature sensor and external sensor port, which combined with the Supersonic ESC creates a stronger protection against the motor overheating. In order to create a high-efficiency motor, the Surpass team repeatedly tested the design and settled on the use of an independent special mould for the Surpass stator using 0.2mm imported silicon steel sheet and the use of a super large diameter rotor (ø18.7mm) for extreme power. In addition, a professional manually wound vortex creates an extremely low internal resistance.

The second round of the Essex Winter Series took place this weekend with another packed out entry featuring all of the top on-road drivers in the UK across the four racing classes. The top-billed Scorpion Modified class saw Olly Jefferies repeat the pole position he had secured at opening event of the season in October, as the Xray driver topped three of the four qualifying rounds. It was only a car failure that prevented a clean sweep as a damaged spur gear in Q2 saw Olly out of the round, allowing Yokomo’s Harley Eldridge to take a win which would ultimately secure her second on the A Final grid. Kyle Branson looked to be the third driver in the mix, the now Tonisport-backed driver took second in every round, to set himself third on the grid. Behind, it was the Capricorn of Alex Thurston who slotted into fourth overall, in front of multi-time UK National Champion Chris Grainger (Awesomatix).
