  • King of clubs is a great race series and they also cater for the younger novice drivers with the inclusion of the Rookie cup.
    Round 2 of the KOC23 took place at West London track. This competition caters for all levels, Every young driver in the Rookies Cup showcased incredible talent, skill, and perseverance. The KOC23 Rookies Cup is a fantastic platform for youngsters to gain valuable experience, and foster a passion for RC racing!
    then at the other end of the scale we had the modified touring cars. the most popular class was the stock touring car class running 17.5 turn brushless.
    Mark continues with his budget racer journey but I think this might be the last chapter.www.kingofclubs.uk/

    The 2nd race was really good. Mark did well to keep the yellow car at bay.

    Fun vid guys. Mark's driving was really good I thought, very smooth, few mistakes, which is everything. Keep doing that! Results will come.
    Also, I for one am shocked that it rains in England.

    Great video guys. Exciting race to watch at the end there. I managed to find the problem on mine which turned out to be a dodgy sensor wire, just in time for the second final... however, 4 laps in and the steering link popped off. Wasn't my day in the slightest!

    Great racing and I love the commentating over the race footage. That really brings a level of excitement to it. Looks like it was a great time! My next race is this Friday at the local indoor carpet (buggy) track. Picked up a 4PM last week from their consignment cabinet and can't wait to try it. I'm stepping up from a 3PK for the buggy and my drift car was on a Flysky G7P. Crazy thing about the drift car is I could not believe how smooth the steering looked after the swap, plus I swear it made my fast servo faster. Great stuff gents, looking forward to the next as always

    Those Team Powers/SNRCs are highly underrated😅 Thankfully I've just bought two R3Gs for my return to racing after nearly 20yrs away.
    Only discovered what Str/Thr EPA is and applied it to my config in VirtualRC with great results😁 I'm training with it to get myself back up to speed before local clubs winter carpet season starts, when I left RC before in the early 2000s, 19t motors were still rather new (we were running 27t) but everything seemed to leap forward in the earlier days of NiMh cell.
    🍻 Learned a lot from you lads!
