Panit B. wins Thailand Buggy Party Rd4

Thailand Buggy Party Round 4

Last weekend saw the 4th round of the Thailand Buggy Party championship held on the grass surfaced R.C. Mania Track. Qualifying saw Kyosho racer Panit B. take the pole position for the final ahead of former National Champion Yuthana D. driving a Hobao in 2nd. In the final Panit B. could easily lead from the start but a timing error at 18 minutes meant the race had to be stopped and a second part of the final run for 12 minutes, with the results added together. This didnt seem to affect the outcome and it was man of the day Panit B. that took the win by nearly a lap from Hongnor racer Meen V. in 2nd while Yuthana D. claimed 3rd.

Can-Am Challenge / RC-Pro Series Rd1

We were contacted by our partners at the RC Pro Series with a report from the first round of the Great Lakes Division, held in Ontario, Canada at the end of May at the Hamilton track. Here is the full report from that event.
