What is your Local Club?

My local club is Hills Offroad which has been my home club since I began RC.

When did you start competing?

When I was 11 years old

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

Most of my racing comes from 1/10 electric offroad but we also occasionally run 1/8th scale nitro off-road, 1/10th electric touring car, and we also have a brand new drag car.

What cars do you currently run?

For 1/10th I run the Team Associated B6.3 and B74.1. In 1/8th we run the RC8B3.2, and in touring car we run the Xpress XQ10.

What do you consider to be your greatest Achievement?

Racing at the 2019 worlds in Slovakia is 100% the best, it was the first time I had experienced an event at that scale and had travelled overseas for a race.

What do you hope to achieve in 2022?

I’d like to continue working well with our team, and push each other to become faster and faster, to achieve greater results as a team. Personally, I’d ideally like to win a state or national event this coming year as hopefully easing covid restrictions allow for these events to start happening again, and of course to also have fun along the way.

Upcoming Events for 2022

Most of our events will be 1/10th focused with us running the nationals for sure, we’ll race the NSW state titles, possibly a few other state titles depending on covid. We’ll race the local events as well such as XRS as well as a few others hosted by Hills Offroad and Sydney RC. We’ll also run some 1/8th off-road and 1/10th onroad, but no particular events yet. Hopefully we are able to get back to a full year of racing this year!

How long have you been using Plaig Bearings?

I believe this is our 4th year running these bearings.

Why do you use Plaig Bearings?

Because they last forever! They are extremely reliable and last a long time and are the smoothest bearings we’ve ever used.
