The fourth leg of the SKW Off-road RC Racing Series held recently had to down gear on championship status due to technical issues with the scoring system, and the day was therefore classified as a fun day with no points scored.
Since fun is what it’s all about with this adrenalin-pumping ‘boys with their toys’ mini motorsport sport, the day was still action packed from start to end. The 1/8 Buggy class saw four cars battle it out in a neck-to-neck race which saw dust fly, wheelies and manoeuvres with engines scream at top pitch.
It was no different in the 1/8 Truggy section, with six cars competing for the day. In addition was the class for Monster Trucks, where quite a few electric car models joined in for the day.
The next event in August has been cancelled, due to the track being broken down, and the start of building up a new track is already rolling. Over the next eight weekends loads of development will take place at the race arena, with the new international designed radio control Off-Rd track due to open with an official launch in September.
