• KO Grand Prix
The annual KO GP attracts many of the top drivers to do battle on the West London race track and this years event was no less thrilling.

• Losi Micro Raminator
Losi’s successful 1:36 scale micro platform has spawned another variant in the form of a replica of the Dodge Raminator monster truck. With lots of experience of the micro scene, Andy Carter checked it out.

• Associated TC5R
To put it simply, the R in the name stands for rubber and this is a dedicated chassis for rubber tyre racing. After experiencing the TC5 first hand, we felt that the car had a strong bias towards foam tyres so we are pleased to see that Associated have tweaked their belt drive package as we look at the changes.

• Back to the Future
Eden Park returned to the national scene in style as the south London club hosted the fourth round of the 1:10 off-road series.

• Winners at Ware
The first Losi GP took place on a busy Bank Holiday weekend in August at the Herts Club in Ware and saw a number of top drivers do battle for honours on each day in the buggy and truggy classes.

• GV Flash RTR
Aimed at the newcomer to RC, Great Vigor’s Flash is a 2WD stadium truck that should offer bundles of fun at a budget price. With enough adjustments to keep the most fiddle-happy drivers contented, it has a good performance that will keep the speed junkies entertained too.

• Getting our Claws In
Racer visited the Schumacher factory in Northampton to get all the details from the design team about their new CAT SX buggy.

• HoBao Hyper ST Mini
