Zwartkops RC-X

Don’t miss out on the RCX Finals 1st December. Spectators are welcome

Don’t miss out on the final round of the RCX Series. We will also have the annual prize giving for the Rcx and Club series. Click on events and get those entries in.

We only have a few days to go to the start of the RC-X Nitro Cup 2019. Crazy amount of work has gone into this event to make it the best RC event of the year. Please can I ask all drivers to check that their PT numbers are correct and if you have not supplied us with a PT number please email us on info@zwartkopsrcx.co.za. I have posted all 8 Rounds heat listings below:

Entries have finally closed for RC-X Nitro Cup and all I can say is Wow to the response that we have received for this unique annual RC event. This will be the first time running a new format that we hope will make for exciting racing and more track time for all the drivers. Spectators and drivers are in for an action packed weekend of RC fun. Great to see that we have 7 Ladies/Girls that have entered which I think is possibly the most we have ever had before. We also have a lot of youngsters that have entered showing a lot of promise for the future of the sport. The youngest driver being just 4 years old and the oldest 64 years makes it a sport that can be enjoyed by the whole family.

Please download the driver info guide from the link above and familiarize yourselves with some of the rules and procedures for the weekend. We will be posting a full heat listing on Monday. If you need any info please email us on info@zwartkopsrcx.co.za

Please note spectators have free access to the RC Track to watch the Nitro cup but will have to buy tickets to access 4X4 & Outdoor Show. Tickets are available from Computicket or at the entrance gate to the show.

Every year, IFMAR hosts a world championship race in one of the 4 blocks that make up the sanctioning body. For the 2018 worlds the “who’s who” of the R/C World were in Perth for the 1/8 Nitro World Championships. The facility was nothing short of amazing; the track, with it’s high speed and massive jumps, was equally impressive. This would be Australia’s first 1/8 worlds; how would this event compare to other championship races held over the past few years? Karting; Joes vs. Pros; watergate 2.0; rumors of gyros; Drivers getting fired; Coors; a last chance saloon; this worlds had it all! Mike Garrison is back as the voice of the series as is our usual cast of characters including Ty Tessmann, Joe Bornhorst, Elliott Boots, Adam Drake, Bruno Coelho, Adam Drake, CJ Jelin, Ryan Maifield. We also welcomed some new faces to the series, so be sure to watch this amazing episode!
