Charge RC off road pipe set

Japanese firm Charge RC have introduced this new off road pipe set for use with 3,5cc buggy motors. The pipe itself has been extensively tested in both off road and on road conditions with the best results coming when off road where the pipe gives plenty of bottom end to middle range torque, especially when combined with the manifold that comes supplied with the pipe set. The pipe and manifold have been polished for better gas flow, while for the stinger of the pipe has been reinforced with a rib to prevent it bending in the event of a hard impact.

Darren Johnson wins BRCA 200mm Rd6

Last weekend saw the 6th round of the 1/10th 200mm National Championship run at the fast Halifax track in the North of England. The weather on Saturday was wet and so practice was limited, but on Sunday the track started damp but dried quickly and stayed dry for the rest of the day and this allowed Kyosho racer, and winner of round 5, Steve Brown to take the pole position ahead of Xray driver Mark Gilliland in 2nd. In the final however it was to be Team Magic racer Darren Johnson that was on form and he could take the lead, and with it the win, 1 lap ahead of pole man Steve Brown with 3rd spot going to Serpent SDD driver Kyle Branson who was 1 lap further back and only 1 second ahead of 4th placed Gilliland.
