Race on!

Have joined Stotfold MCC!! .. it's an awesome Astro Turf track and my first day there this past Sunday was excellent. I did not race but I met a group of outstanding people who were more then happy to let the newbie marshall.

I'm going to be in some great company as many members are sponsored drivers and have vast experience and knowledge. I'm really looking forward to the next time I can make it along.

I'm going to be investing in a new car for the season and will be driving the brand new Caster Racing SK-10 4wd. I'll still be driving my Ansmann X-Pro 2wd at the club but will be focusing mainly on the Caster Range of vehicles. I'm also going to be trying to promote Answer-RC tyre inserts. I've been using these for a short while now and can honestly say they are excellent. Very good value for money and perform very well.

I'll try and do some race reports with video as the season continues.

New town new post..

Been a long while since I posted an Update..

I've moved job and moved home. I'm now in a great little town called Littleport near Cambridge. I've found a new RC club and have a couple of new cars :)

The new club are about to build a permanent outdoor off-road track so I'm very excited about that. I've delayed the finishing of my Sand rat project to use the car as a club car and host a Macnum championship. I have 2 Macnum's already and will hopefully have 2 more for when the track opens next year.

I also have one of the outstanding new Maverick XB Evo's and a Maverick Scout the Rock Crawler. Both are very high spec and I'm looking forward to hop-in them up and running them in some competitions next year.

I'll post some pics of the new cars soon.

Custom bits!


This weekend will see me making my first custom parts for my Sandrat... body mounts.

Nothing special but still needed to support the Baja shell.

Next will be a new chassis plate, not to replace the current chassis but to augment and to allow me to have front and rear alloy bumpers :)

The Sand Rat is coming :)


At least it's Logo anyway :)


Something coming!!


Been focused on the Westhill club for the last few months but I have something cool coming soon.

I've entered into a build off competition on the URC forums and have decided to do a modification of an Ansmann macnum. My basic concep
t is a classic Baja Bug... I'm calling it the Sand Rat and will start the build next week. I'll be posting as in-depth build report as possible and include hopefully a couple of custom elements. Stay tuned :)
