RDRP B6-series titanium front axle set

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced a titanium front axle set for the Team Associated B6-series of buggies. The parts are a direct replacement for the standard aluminium axles and thanks to the Grade 5 titanium material the axles are both lightweight and tough, making them the ideal choice for hardcore racing. Included comes an aluminium shim set to adjust the track width in a ±1mm range, allowing to adapt the steering feeling and side bite to your likings. The design of the axle furthermore makes using an “outlaw” setting possible for all non-sanctioned racing classes such as open club racing. Running the buggy in the widest configuration further enhances the overall steering and grip created.

Ben Cosgrove TQs & wins at BRCA Micro Nats Rd2

The Silverstone RC MCC venue in Northhampton played host to round two of the BRCA Micro Nationals this past weekend. It was a cold November morning and the drivers were greeted with a twisty technical track, with a few jumps and added features to keep even the best drivers on their toes. Ben Cosgrove went on to take TQ in rounds three and four and this meant that he was tied on points with Phil Sleigh for the TQ battle. Ben had the fastest round time so that would give Ben the overall TQ. The A-main would be a close fought affair with the overall win going to Ben Cosgrove with Phil Sleigh in second and Eugene Galley third.
