Sweep Racing SRC Revo-series pre-mounted tyres

Sweep Racing have introduced their new SRC brand which sets a focus on bashers and fun racers. Developed with Sweep Racing’s R&D facility in California the tyres combine racing technology with go everywhere ability and thus both the Road Crusher on-road and Terrain Crusher off-road tyre feature a reinforcing inner belt that prevents the tyres from ballooning under aggressive acceleration and under high speeds. Both tyres come in a unique rubber compound for high grip and exceptional durability and they are pre-glued to newly developed spoke rims that are a direct fit on the Traxxas Revo series trucks. The tyres offer a diameter of 147mm and a width of 80mm and they come on black, silver, bronze or black chrome rims.

JConcepts Summer INS – Brendan Wheatley’s T5M

JConcepts Summer INS – Brendan Wheatley's T5M

Brendan Wheatley has been on fire all weekend long here at the JConcepts Summer Indoor Nationals in the 17.5 Stock Truck class earning the overall TQ with his Team Associated T5M. Only racing for 2 years, Brendan has been climbing the stock ladder and making great progress with his well equipped custom T5M chassis made by Dillon Davis, Schelle ceramic bearings, MIP 3 gear aluminum gearbox and Eco top shaft. With smooth power delivery from his Hobbywing ESC/SchuurSpeed Select motor combination, Brendan has been able to masterfully tame the high traction, full slick tire conditions here at Outback Raceway. With Ron Schuur on hand, Brendan has been able to optimize his gearing and motor timing to maintain both high corner and straightaway speed to separate himself from the field resulting in the only 20 lap qualifying run.

The third round of the BRCA Touring Car Series took place hosted by the long established Stafford club over the weekend and saw one of the closest fought and unpredictable races for many seasons, but coming out on top were two Schumacher drivers in the form of Colin Price in modified and James Hart in Stock. In Modified Elliott Harper took TQ and leg one of the Modified A final and looked on course to score his first win since moving to Schumacher for 2015, but in leg two and three Elliott seemed to lose his performance advantage and was swallowed up by the chasing pack, Associated’s Chris Grainger took advantage in leg two and in leg three Colin Price took the leg and with it the win, the top three of Price, Grainger and Xray’s Olly Jefferies tied on points but the tie breaker fell in favour of Price giving him his second ever UK national win.
