Champlin fastest in 3rd practice
The third round of practice at the 4wD Electric Offroad World Championship saw Broc Champlin set the pace, the Schumacher driver fastest over 3-consecutive laps ahead of Spencer Rivkin. As expected US drivers are featuring strongly. Ryan Maifield completed the Top 3 ahead of Dakotah Phend and Dustin Evans with defending Champion Bruno Coelho the best of the overseas visitors to Hobby Action RC Raceway with the 6th fastest time ahead of newly crowned European 2WD Champion Marcus Kaerup, David Ongaro and Michal Orlowski. Commenting on his latest run Champlin said, ‘We made a lot of improvements that round. I changed back to my testing set-up after making a few changes earlier than were not very good’. Asked how he is getting to grips with the track, he replied, ‘you definitely need to be patient on entry into some of the corners. It will be better with new tyres but I’ll make a small change to get a bit more bite on throttle and go from there’.
