This weekend was a mixture of 1/10th and 1/8th racing for the Team, firstly it was the 2dn Round of the SWIS (Shropshire, Winter, Indoor Series) at the Grange School Shrewsbury, although not a permanent track, still a very technical track which saw 1/10th 2wd, 4wd and Micro heat. RCPB was represented by Team Bosses Chris Ely and Matt Box in 4wd, and after some hotly contested qualifying rounds the guys lined up one and two in the A final, with Chris just ahead of Matt. Chris was debuting the new Xray XB4 2016, and it looked very strong, with...

This weekend saw the Popular Nitro X Cross Winter series at the Ledbury Astro Track. Although there was persistent rain all week, Nathan Powney and the crew did a fantastic job of getting the track in a race-able condition and even entertained the campers with fireworks on the Saturday evening.

The Teams representatives at Slough were Team Boss Matt Box and fellow Radiosistemi RR8 driver Gary Gregory, Ben Billing and Alex Page both driving the Mugen MBX7r.

The Bank Holiday weekend saw five of the RC Pitbox racing team venture to the Pembrey Race Circuit in South Wales for Rounds 13 and 14 of the Nitro X Summer Series (held by the Swansea and District Model Car club). The track is a newly constructed majority dirt track with astro jump profiles and straight, a flowing layout, with some good features, a track for the future and a credit to all the Swansea club, who were racing on a grass track at the same site last year. The track is based at the Pembrey Race Circuit and if your...
