Amazing rc cars racing, driven by skilful drivers … The BRCA MTC Nationals series visited MKRCCC and saw cars from several manufacturers battling it out on track. The Batcave converted Awesomatix leading the way in 4WD rubber and Carten are the car to beat in the 4WD foam, meanwhile it is the Xpress cars who top the 2WD rubber class. But how will Tamiya do with the M05 and M07 both taking to the track in the 2WD class.
As for me this time I got involved in the action with the Frontie cars, that are running in the 2wd class. The catren M210F is a great car and reminds me us of our early years of racing with the M03 cars. This is so much fun!!!!
Following the success ofAdam Burgess at the last round there were a few more racers hitting the track with their Tamiya cars. Nathan and Rob have some close battles with their Tamiya M05's.
As I was without Mark this week, I need to thank Andy, Matt, and Dan for getting footage of my races.

I'm just getting into my local club M racing . They have a base class, simple upgrades to keep it budget friendly for starters. I started with the M-06 thinking RWD would be better. Boy, was a I wrong. All over the shop! :D The M-05 rips around and I'm loving it. Inspiring to see these properly fast cars being driven so well.

You did a great job. You showed some real throttle control and clean racing.

Cheers Michael I really focused on trying to do it clean … It would have been easy to give a tap on the way through but that is not the way

Had the shakes during the race as it was very intense.

Wow, that looked like lots of fun, and very close racing! It was also nice to see a good variety of cars there too. The car at around 5.30 into the video looks suspiciously like a 3Racing Mini MG Evo. I had one, well still got bits of it, had to nick bits off it for my M07, which I sold weeks ago as I lost my job recently and needed the money. I'd love to get back into M chassis racing but nowhere near me to race, and I don't drive so that's buggered that plan🤣

That sounds about right … he said it was an MG but I am not familiar with it… car was planted

That 2nd race was epic. Shame about the mistake in the 3rd but still a good race. Great coverage. 👍

Great Vid as ever Carl. Let's hope the 2wd class continues to grow throughout the championship with more people giving it a go with whatever Mchassis cars they have. The racing was great in both heats on Sunday with a great range of chassis' - Tamiya, Xpress, Carten and 3racing all represented at MK in 2wd and all racing well together with both 21.5 brushless and 21 brushed motor's. Credit to you for continuing to promote and encourage the Mchassis racers to get involved. Would love to see some of the Iconic Cup regulars have a go too, we need some M03's joining in! 😊

Share it with the iconic lads and see if you can tease them out

@adamburgess1982 Жыл бұрын

@@PopalongRC I definitely will mate. Hopefully the next 2 Midlands rounds at West Bridgford and Broxtowe could have a good Mchassis entry. WB has a strong class of brushed powered Mchassis weekly, and Broxtowe has the obvious Iconic connection so I'll do my best to encourage them all to join in.

I think it is a great stepping stone for M chassis racers to test themselves

Great coverage as always Carl, it was a good event, mind you 7 cars on track at one time was pretty hectic! Looked like some superb driving in your finals. Well done!
