FTW B5M Reactor bodyshell

For The Win introduce their Reactor bodyshell for the Team Associated B5M mid motor buggy.

Nathan Waters wins at Silverstone Winter Series Rd2

The second round of the Silverstone Winter Series attracted a full entry in the main 2WD buggy class, on a high grip indoor astroturf track. Nathan Waters drove superbly to take the TQ and a convincing win with his Schumacher Cougar.
