SWorkz 350 RC car, from build to race day...

We are so, so proud of our friend Harry Redstone - he is not only a great RC car racer, he's also pretty good at the engineering behind his cars too.  Here we can follow his new kit, an SWorkz 350, from build to race day...


From a box of bits...



We contribute to Harry's car with a precision Japanese bearing set at this point, but I'm not sure if that's good or bad news will all these bit lying about!!


...to components parts...




...to the finished product!



Check out a vid of the SWorkz in action here...

And so, the car is built & ready for action -  Harry says of this weekends competition "Suprised with my result today, i really liked the set up and found it drove very well, quite a wierd set up at 7,5,5 front to rear - still not happy with this novarossi though, qualified b, 6th and finished b 4th not far off the bump up place! Very good day".

Well done Harry, you'll always be a number 1 racer to us!  We'll look forward to keeping you up to date with Harry's progress throughout the year.

We also hope to be able to bring you an update from our RC Heli pilot, Ian Emery, very soon - his first competition of the season was last weekend & he'd had a bit of a disaster beforehand - we had an eleventh hour visit for bearings after his heli caught fire in training... more news as soon as we have it!!

Harry Redstone - RC summer series races drama...

 Many congratulations to our friend Harry Redstone, who's just been in touch to let us know that he's finished 2nd (out of around 30 competitors) in the latest round of Swindon Radio Controlled Model Car Club's (SRCMCC) summer race series.  If Harry can win this weekend, then he stands a great chance of clinching the championship as a whole.  We will keep EVERYTHING crossed for you Harry :-)

 

The latest race in the series took place over 12 rounds & Harry used his Losi 8 EU to great effect to clinch 2nd spot overall! 

Harry's keen eye & attention to setup detail (changing bearings & oil) meant that his car was race-fit & ready to kick some serious butt...  Harry says "my setup influences the end result, because on the outdoor astroturf track you get a lot of grip, so you end up rolling on corners/flipping & things like that - but if your setup is right you should just fly!"

So what's next for Harry? He's looking to bag the top-spot next time around, as well as competing in the SRS race series & also the ultra-competitive national competitions if he can get in...

I asked Harry if he had any advice for people just starting out in the sport & he says "In this sport, you get what you pay for - if you pay £100 for a brand new car it will fall apart so research & then research some more, save up & buy the best car that your funds allow - it will help you in the long run :-) " 

It's always great to learn from someone who's been through it all, so thanks Harry - I am sure your sage words of advice will help save a fair few people from disaster! 

We'll look forward to bringing more of Harry's news as the season progresses.

Harry Redstone, RC car race victory...

YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!  Our friend Harry Redstone had an awesome race series this weekend, at Swindon Radio Controlled Model Car Club (SRCMCC), & it saw him clinch victory, even leaving his older brother, Ben, eating his dust!  Check out these results:



Harry tops the tables, beating off some stiff competition...

Harry has just acquired a new baby - perhaps that's what swung victory in his favour?!

Harry is competing in the regional leagues this year, but next year is moving onto the bigger national competitions, where we're sure he'll be an absolute star. 

Well done Harry, we're so proud of you ;0)
