Elliott Boots crowned BRCA Rally X champion

The fourth round of the BRCA 1/8th Rally X Championship was held at Pembrey over the weekend. The weekend kicked off pretty wet and this would also be the case on Sunday, meaning the race had to be called a day after round three of qualifying that would see Kyosho’s Elliott Boots with the overall TQ. Based on the qualifying results Elliott was declared the winner which in turn handed him the overall title, the fourth in his career. Team Associated’s Neil Crag came in 2nd at round 4 from Infinity’s Lee Martin 3rd.

JConcepts AE 6.1 aluminium C-block

Made for Team Associated’s 6.1 line of buggies and trucks is the new aluminium C-block from JConcepts. Available in blue and black colours, the precision-machined piece is carefully crafted to accept the standard Team Associated pill inserts. The suspension mounts are a critical piece of any vehicle, they provide the base for adjustments such as toe-in, anti-squat and wheel base. A stout suspension mount can go a long way to assuring your vehicle is technically correct and up to specification. The JConcepts mounts are light-weight enough for the weight conscious racer but beefy enough to stand-up to the rigours of high-end modified buggy racing. The mounts feature chamfer highlighted edging which improve the curb appeal and bring out the luster in any show or race ride. The C-block fit the B6.1, B6.1D, T6.1 and SC6.1 vehicles.
