The third round of the BRCA Touring Car Series took place hosted by the long established Stafford club over the weekend and saw one of the closest fought and unpredictable races for many seasons, but coming out on top were two Schumacher drivers in the form of Colin Price in modified and James Hart in Stock. In Modified Elliott Harper took TQ and leg one of the Modified A final and looked on course to score his first win since moving to Schumacher for 2015, but in leg two and three Elliott seemed to lose his performance advantage and was swallowed up by the chasing pack, Associated’s Chris Grainger took advantage in leg two and in leg three Colin Price took the leg and with it the win, the top three of Price, Grainger and Xray’s Olly Jefferies tied on points but the tie breaker fell in favour of Price giving him his second ever UK national win.

During this week’s EFRA 1/8th Gas Offroad European Championship Italian company Reds Racing have their forthcoming TX120 1/10th scale brushless speed controller on show. Known for their successful range of nitro engines Reds Racing recently also stepped into electric propulsion with the release of their 1/8th and 1/10th scale brushless motors.

Measuring 31.38x19mm and weighing in at 45g the 2S LiPo-compatible and 120A-rated ESC offers 6V/3A BEC output and it sports all-black wires for a pro-level look.

Teamsaxo Pro5 carbon fibre main chassis & upper deck

Coming from Teamsaxo and made for the HB Pro5 touring car is a new carbon fibre main chassis and top deck. The 85mm wide chassis is cut from 2.2mm material and it features a symmetrical design with the milled motor pocket also being present on the battery side for a more equal left-to-right flex. The design makes the chassis especially helpful in low-grip conditions with the 2.0mm top plate being usable in combination with the optional or standard chassis in order to provide different flex characteristics when needed.
