What is your Local Club?

I’ve been racing at my Local Club LORRCCC (Logan Off Road Radio Controlled Car Club) since i started racing in 2006.

When did you start competing?

I started off racing 1/8 Nitro and have had stints driving 1/10th 2wd and 4wd as well.

What Classes do you currently compete in and any others you have competed in the past?

Currently my main class is 1/8 ebuggy.

What cars do you currently run?

I have been running Team Associated cars for the last 8 or 9 years now across all classes and always use Plaig Bearings in everything.

What do you consider to be your greatest Achievement?

biggest achievement so far would have to be 4th at FEMCA Truggy. crazy conditions with the rain and thick clay with a bump all the way from the 1/8ths through to the final, just missing out on the podium. I have had a couple of state titles wins but the conditions were no where near as challenging as FEMCA.

What do you hope to achieve in 2019?

2019 might be a bit quieter than the last couple of years. There is talk of the first Ebuggy nationals happening so the aim would be to finish as high as possible at that event should it go ahead.

Upcoming Events for 2019

Ebuggy Nationals if they are going ahead

How long have you been using Plaig Bearings?

I have used Plaig Bearings for as long as i can remember, i think since Plaig first started. What initially struck me was how much longer Plaig Bearings lasted compared to other brands especially in the really tough conditions when the track is wet and muddy.

Why do you use Plaig Bearings?

Honestly, I wouldn’t use anything else
