Round 3 of the BRCA Clubmans Series took place at Aldershot Model Car Club. All of the Championship leaders and contenders were present for what was to be a sun drenched meeting for the whole weekend. Saturday saw a packed pit area with most of the competitors arriving for that all important practice on one of the Souths best tracks, with its infamous chicane onto the very long straight which leads into a banked sweeper – if taken incorrectly this could easily see you taking a trip into the scenery – then to the fast infield section to complete the lap. As it was dry weekend Sweep 34 control tyres would be used for the TC classes and Sweep SW control tyres also for the Formula class.

Around for a while but only officially announced now are SchuurSpeed’s new Xtreme Spec V4 stock class brushless motors. They are engineered and designed in Southern California to EFRA, IFMAR, and ROAR specifications and feature an extremely short stator for maximised RPM and low internal resistance as well as the latest rotor design using a high-Gauss 1600+ magnetic material mixture. The included rotor is a 12.5x24mm and the new solder tabs and collector ring design makes for low resistance but also lowers the centre of gravity. The redesigned airflow can ensures even lower operating temperatures and quicker cool off and the CNC endplates ensure sensor and bearings are perfectly aligned. The completely rebuildable motor comes equipped with high-precision RPM bearings as standard and it weighs in at only 145g, which is 30g lighter than the previous motor. The power plant is available in 10.5T to 25.5T specifications and it has already proven its capabilities by winning the 13.5T Wheeler and 17.5T Buggy classes at this year’s Desert Classics, it took podiums at the JConcepts Stock Nationals and scored a Top 10 finish at the recent Reedy Race.
Coming from Xpress and made for their Execute XQ1S club-level touring car is a complete anti-roll bar kit. The set includes all available swaybar wires and also suitable mounting hardware to make it a drop fit on both the front and rear axle of the car. Using the anti-roll bars helps in a variety of conditions, from low to high grip, as they reduce body roll and thus take away some steering while also improving traction at the same time.
