It was quite a risk to arrange a formal club race over the Easter weekend, but by now we know how addicted this RC thing is. And over and above that; the racing calendar hardly had an empty space to have moved it to, so we just HAD to run this race over a long weekend.

Most of us have heard people saying "I would really like to race RC cars but, it is so expensive". If this is what you were saying then, we have the solution for you. Most people don't want to spend the thousands of rands (even up to R15 000.00) for their first RC Racing Touring Car. I know I didn't. Instead, I bought an RC car for the same amount as the NEW Team Magic Semi-Pro kit but, got a lot less value and quality for my money. I always battled to get parts, there was just never enough motor performance (and I didn't even have the option to upgrade the motor), the handling of the car really sucked and overall the quality of the car was just not up to scratch.

The NEW Team Magic Semi-Pro kit is the ideal RC Touring car to start your RC Racing Hobby with. You basically get everything you need and would find in a pro-kit with some minor short-comings. The standard motor that comes with the New Team Magic Semi-Pro Kit is a .12 motor, the same as the pro-kits, which gives you the option to upgrade to another motor should you wish to do so. Meyerton RC Raceway also has all parts and upgrades available for the New Team Magic Semi-Pro Kit.

So, for ONLY R4,800.00. This is a real steal. Contact HENRY OGDEN 082 442 6147 (Track Owner) to order your 1:10 Nitro Touring Car NOW!

Piet du Toit’s GT wasn’t ready yet and neither was Henry’s car.

The racing buddies, Rolan Ferreira and Louis Nortje were both missing in action…
