Reviews 22 SERPENT SPYDER SRX-2 GEN3 Serpent’s new Spyder SRX-2 Gen3 not only looks different to its predecessor, but has proven itself on track by being faster too. As the chassis is around 85 per cent new, we couldn’t wait to see the new design features in detail that we cover in this issue, before following this up with a second instalment on how we got on at the track at a round of a popular indoor off-road series. 36 CORALLY MAMMOTH SP For our older readers the Corally name is synonymous with on-road but in recent years their name has been seen on a much wider range of products and the Mammoth SP is one of those. The Sport Power monster truck model comes as an RTR and is designed to be very capable off-road without breaking the bank. 48 FTX CARNAGE 2.0 We reviewed the original Carnage in early 2012 that came with a 27MHz radio so it’s not much of a surprise to see that the 2.0 truck has a number of new updates including a new body scheme, Etronix radio and 60A speed controller. We put the model through its paces testing it out at the park on some soggy grass and slippery mud! Features 14 THE COUNTDOWN IS ON Preparations are well underway for this year’s Iconic Revival event that once again takes place at the Bingham Model Raceway in Nottinghamshire so John Weston caught up with Dave Beeby, Mike Penfold, Martin Richards and Simon Smith to see how they are getting on… 46 CHAMPS CROWNED AT BARLEY MOW The club near Crewe would host the penultimate round of this year’s BRCA 1:12 National Championships and with four events to count from five, it saw David Spashett wrap up the sports championship with a round to go whilst Olly Jefferies would take the modified title despite his absence. 68 OJ OPENS UP In a frank and very open piece, Olly Jefferies reflects on his disappointment from missing out on a podium finish at the recent IFMAR 1:12 World Championships, and how he is taking positives from the event that he can use in the future.
