The 60 minute final was one of the craziest in this classes history; several drivers saying this was the hardest track they've ever driven on and the final prooved this. The keyword for the final was Flame out everyone except Champ Khunthin and Jordan Go experienced problems at one stage of the final. The first half of the final was dominated by Ty Tessmann up until the 31 min mark where a suspected battery or switch put him out of contention.

New Goblin Shell for LRP Shark.
British micro racer Carl Venter has been working in collaboration with Keith at Kamtec models to design the new ‘Goblin’ bodyshell for LRP Shark 1/18 buggies that have been modified with the longer SC chassis. The bodyshell is named after the Goblin shark (known for its sleek and unorthodox shape) and allows for maximum airflow to the electrics. Made out of 1mm top quality lexan the body is strong and sturdy and should stand up to the rigors of racing while protecting your expensive electrics inside. On it’s very first outing at the BRCA micro nationals Mark Stiles took the Goblin to TQ and first place in the A-final and in doing so wrapped up his second consecutive national title in the class!
Shell is available to buy here.

Cougar SV's Winning start.
The Schumacher Cougar SV made its much anticipated race debut this weekend at the BRCA British Open , which has replaced the Indoor Nationals formally run during the winter season. Against a strong entry of most of the UK’s top electric off road drivers the race could not have gone better for the Schumacher team. The result was a convincing victory in the 2WD class, Simon Moss won all 5 of his races in the Reedy style event to score a maximum perfect score. Simon also recorded the fastest 5 minute run by a huge margin of 5 seconds and fastest single lap. The Cougar SV was clearly the quickest car on all parts of the multi surface Worksop track which contained a challenging mix of high grip carpet and slippery floor sections. With it’s mid motor, centrally weighted lipo layout and reverse direction transmission it’s looked awesomely stable on the Worksop jumps, which were challenging for some of the best UK drivers.
