Carbon fibre RC parts that I make

  

I haven’t really mentioned much on here about my hobby of racing 1:8 scale RC cars, so thought this post should change all that  

I’ve been racing 1:8 scale buggies and truggies for about 3 years now. I got back into RC whilst in hospital, as I’d buy kits on eBay and have them delivered to my room for me to build. Once I was back home I could then take them out and about to local BMX tracks with the help of my friends. After getting stronger, and bored with just driving round BMX tracks I decided to start racing. 

I’ve raced several seasons in the Midlands, and also a couple in the south. Most of my racing was at my old club called NRX in County Durham. I don’t really get the chance to race as much as I’d like due to work commitments. However as there is a new track opening near Naburn in York, I should get the chance to race regularly again  

As well as racing I also moderate on one of the best off-road RC forums in the UK: http://www.maxbashing.com/mbfourm/ I find this site to be a wealth of information, with very helpful members and staff. If you haven’t visited the site before it is well worth having a look! 

I designed a new set of carbon fibre shock towers for the buggy in my spare time using AutoCAD. I had several prototypes cut and tested before going with the final design you can see in the photos. Due to quite a lot of people asking me if I could make a set for them, I decided to put them into production. Therefore there will be a website called http://www.nitrocarbon.com going live in the near future. 

 

For now a pair can be purchased from the advert on the Maxbashing forum found here: http://www.maxbashing.com/mbforum/showthread.php?t=794
