Round 4 of the BRCA Clubmans took place on the East Coast of England at Coastal Model Car Racing Club. This is the smallest track on the calendar which many liken to Monaco due to the tight confinements of the track and layout. The club made a huge effort in the weeks before the meeting and the track looked fantastic in the Ipswich sunshine. Four qualifying rounds for all classes and Craig Nutting eventually took TQ in the Frontie Class, but local driver and race director George Fairweather kept him honest all day long taking the round two win looking to be the only challenger, so it was anyone’s guess what the A Final outcome would be.

Coming from MiBorg and made for the Tamiya M-chassis are the new RCV driveshafts. Utilising the design of full-scale cars the driveshafts use ceramic balls instead of cross pins to drive the wheel axle, which results in less vibration and more compacity compared with a double joint. This leads to a more predictable driving and in addition the wheel axles allow the use of pin-less wheel hex adapters for a better wheel concentricity. These driveshafts can be use on the rear, they bring more stability and a better control of the trajectories.
