Wins for Hall & Holdsworth – BRCA Nationals Round 3

Round 3 of the BRCA British 1:10 Offroad Nationals took place at Southport over the weekend where Tommy Hall and Josh Holdsworth took the wins. 2WD qualifying would see Team Associated’s reigning Champion Hall secure the TQ honours ahead of Schumacher’s Ben Smith, Xray’s Lee Martin and Associated’s Neil Cragg. In the finals Hall won the opening two encounters from Smith for his second win of the season with Martin completing the podium. In Sunday’s 4WD action, it was again Hall who secured the TQ but the defending champion, who opened his 2025 campaign with a win at Round 1 at Herts, wouldn’t complete the weekend double in the finals on the B74.2’s final outing. Qualify P2 it would be Cragg who took A1 after Hall rolled out of the lead. A2 would see P3 qualifier Smith win from Josh Holdsworth as Hall again struggled and finished down in P8. It was all to play for in A3 with Josh Holdsworth grabbing the win from Martin and with it his first National 4WD win on tie break with Championship Round 2 winner Smith. Cragg would complete the podium. The BRCA National Championship next moves to Bury Metro on July 12/13th.

Serpent Mini Spider 1:24 RTR Short Course

Better known for their high end onroad competition cars, Serpent has released this ‘fun’ 1:24 Mini Spider SC RTR. Made of super elastic plastic, the 2WD chassis is powered by a coreless motor that takes the Short Course truck up to 20km/h. If this is too fast for you in the living room or children’s room, you can also reduce the speed thanks to a rotary control nub. Throttle/brake and steering commands are sensitively implemented in full proportion by the 2.4GHz remote control. The Mini Spider SC has built-in ‘Electronic Stability Program’ (ESP) which keeps the rear-drive vehicle always well on track even on smooth surfaces such as laminate or tiled floors. Thanks to a built-in ‘gyro’, the truck detects unnatural movements of the rear and steers automatically against it to prevent a breakaway (to a certain extent).
