FORTY remote control 4WD Crawler enthusiasts, some from neighbouring Sabah, demonstrated their skills in maneuvering through the hilly obstacle course of the Terunjing Challenge over the weekend.
Organised by the RC 4WD Brunei, the annual event aims to promote interest in remote control 4WD and at the same time to foster closer ties among RC enthusiasts within Brunei and overseas.
Organising chairperson Wandy Bakri noted, “This is the fourth time we are hosting the competition, and we always invite our Sabah counterpart to come join us.”
With the over 70 registered members in the RC 4WD Brunei Club, Wandy believes the hobby is gaining popularity.
He conveyed his appreciation to the sponsors – Warisan Utama Jaya Department Store, DC Com of Sabah, Guan Hock Lee, Aewon, Atees, Boomracing and private sponsors – for supporting the event.
