Neil Diver wins BRCA 1/8th Nats Rd5

The 5th round of this years national championship was held at the Adur circuit in Brighton. The track was built only a couple of years ago with the club doing a fantastic job in providing a very challenging facility in which the drivers have to quickly adapt to since it is the smoothest and tightest track in the country. The track layout is actually formed on a small area of continuous tarmac, originally marked out using heavy duty rope but this is now revised to include Astroturf over timber contour boards and also profiled concrete kerbs at potential cross over positions.

Brian Wynn wins Stock at SC Nationals

CRC factory driver Brian Wynn took his CRC/Losi XXX-T Short Course conversion kit to an A-main victory at the recent Short Course Nationals hosted by R/C Madness in Enfield, CT. Competing in national competition for the first time, Brian’s Losi XXX-T truck, converted to Short Course with the CRC conversion kit, easily dominated the A-main with a 5 second gap to second place. With over 230 entries, the Short Course Nationals in Connecticut proved to be a tough test of handling, power and driving. This event would mark the debut of the CRC Short Course Conversion for the Losi XXX-T. The CRC Losi XXX-T SC truck handled extremely well on the tricky dry offroad circuit at RC Madness. Brian led every lap and won by 5 seconds, even though he stopped twice on the last lap to avoid any contact with a back marker.
