New from VRP is the V3 rear shock tower for the HB Racing D819 and E819 line of buggies. The tower features new shock mounting holes that are mid spaced. This is the newest mounting positions being ran on the HB buggies. Another feature added to the V3 tower is the wing mounting holes. There are sets of holes that allow drovers to use the stock wing mount in the stock locations as well as move them up, or use the MBX8 wing mount for a finer wing height adjustment. The V3 shock tower is available in silver anodised aluminium as well as carbon fibre.

RudeBits have introduced their new front shock tower protectors for the Serpent SRX2 and SDX4 buggies. 3-D-printed from high-quality material the add-on protectors save carpet and astroturf tracks from shock towers digging in, resulting in longer life of both the track surface and also the shock tower and upper shock caps. The protractors are light of weight and easy to attach using the included hardware and they are available for the SRX2 Gen3 gullwing front shock tower, the Gen3 kit front shock tower and the SDX4 front shock tower.

CS-Electronic from Germany have introduced their new 200W Competition Power Discharger device for the use in combination with the recently announced Space X3-Competition Duo charger. The discharger allows for discharge currents of up to 16A while offering balance discharging and single cell voltage monitoring, ensuring safe and secure discharging using high currents. The results will help to identify weak packs but the discharger also allows to bring fully charged packs to storage voltage a lot faster than just using the charger’s discharge function.

Muchmore have introduced their new Fleta ZX V2 ER Spec stock class brushless motor that comes including the MR-FZR27TIX 12.3x5x24.2mm titanium rotor. Available as 17.5T and 21.5T variant, the motor will produce increased torque which comes in handy especially for blink buggy classes and when running in high-bite traction conditions. Besides the rotor, the motor makes use of the same features as the standard ER Spec series, meaning it utilises the highly machined Flow-Max 2 aluminium can, a high-power stator, heavy-duty solder tabs and an adjustable timing end plate.

The Drumstick race was held at the RC Clubhouse track in Warren, Michigan last weekend. The race saw around 130 entries which is a pretty standard for this race every year. In the 4WD Buggy A-main 2nd place qualifier, Xray’s Mark Sousa made a pass for the lead on lap one but then got together with the 2nd place driver and Mark went back to last on the first lap. However he was able to come through the pack all the way up to 1st and then slowly extended his lead from there to take the win from HB Racing’s Mike Valentine Jr. in 2nd and TLR’s Seth Rippee in 3rd. In the 2WD main it was Charlie Maiorana with the win from Russ Bryant on the runner-up spot. Mark Sousa struggled with a last minute setup change and ultimately had to settle for 3rd overall.

RC Maker have introduced their new GeoCarbon front bumper plate with stopper for the Xray T4’20 touring car. The plate and stopper feature a stylish, stealthly and innovative design and the parts add extra protection to the front of the car as the support contacts the bulkheads and prevents impacts from snapping the main chassis and are very important. The design integrates the stopper under the main bumper plate, lining up with the bearing mounts on the front bulkheads. In the event of a crash, the force will be transferred through this and keep the chassis in tact, with minimal effect on the bulkheads. The brace recesses over the small bumper posts enabling it to get low enough to align with the bulkhead. When tightening the upper plate, it clamps the whole assembly down tightly. Upon resting, there is a 0.2mm gap between the bulkheads and this support, to prevent any rubbing and tweaking. The bumper plate also features three sets of holes, allowing drivers to adjust the bodyshell forwards and backwards as seen on the standard plates. The integrated stopper does not move, it will be in the same place regardless of the body post position. Due to the design, the plate can also stay in place when removing the front anti-roll bar.

The second round of the Winter Race Morava was held last weekend with more than 90 entries for the classes of Hobby, Formula, Touring Stock, Touring Modified, 1/12th Modified and 1/10 GT Pancar. In Touring Stock, Radko Cernohous took the overall TQ, but Simon Horak managed to get past him in the finals for the overall from Radko Cernohous in 2nd and Karel Kratochvil in 3rd, making it an all-Xray top 3.

The Formula attracted 26 entries with some Czech top drivers such as Lukas Hoch, Simon Horak and others in attendance. Ultimately it was Lukas Hoch who took the TQ and win with Simon Horak pushing him to the limit. The track conditions were really hard, low grip changed to lower grip and this was happening all day. Behind Lukas it was Simon for an Xray 1-2 with Serpent’s Tomas Sova coming in 3rd overall.
