| Performa Racing pre-glued 1/8th buggy tyres Posted: 19 Sep 2019 05:53 AM PDT Performa Racing have announced the release of their new pre-glued tyres for 1/8th nitro and electric buggies. First up is the Khaos tyre that was designed for loose dirt tracks with the racing line being visible, for clay, blue groove or damp tracks. Hundreds of wide rectangular lugs spaced around the carcass provide excellent forward traction and mud-slinging ability to keep the treads clear from dirt build-up. Next up is the Black Jack, a medium tread blocks tyre with an asymmetrical tread design that works well on dusty tracks when the racing line is visible. Also new is the Megabite, suitable for outdoor and indoor tracks with wet or damp surfaces and a clean racing line. Hundreds of short square pins arranged around the carcass provide traction in the corners and a central double-row of extra-wide treads give excellent acceleration and stopping power. Last but not least is the Gridlock V3, again suitable for outdoor and indoor tracks with wet or damp surfaces and a clean racing line. All tyres are available in four compounds; Pink super soft, Yellow medium soft, Red soft and White medium. The tyres are mounted on Performa Racing Carbon wheels that feature high quality nylon reinforced with carbon graphite to increase stiffness and consistency throughout the race. Also available are fluorescent yellow and plain white wheel stickers that add visibility when running black wheels.

| 20th annual E24h Race – Report Posted: 19 Sep 2019 01:12 AM PDT Last weekend the 20th annual E24h Race was held on the iconic Andernach outdoor asphalt track in Germany. The event has a long history and took place on several different outdoor tracks during the last years before it now returned to its birthplace. The attendance was very high as 140 drivers from Germany, Great Britain, The Netherlands and Belgium made their entries in 20 teams of seven drivers each. On a sunny Saturday morning all teams received their mandatory Yokomo SD Sport chassis kits, equipped with a Hobbywing 17.5T combo, Silverback LiPos and Volante tyres. Main organiser Uwe Rheinard together with the event supporting Tonisport crew took charge of providing all required stuff for the teams. After the drivers meeting the teams had to build their cars according to the manual and shortly after lunch the race started on its very long journey of 24 hours. All teams prepared a Bittydesign Venom GT body shell with LED lighting prior to the event and it was really impressive to see all the 20 cars on track with their great looking bodies. During this long endurance race the teams had to manage a lot of different challenges. Every half an hour it was time for a battery change in the pit stop area and the tyres were changed three times as well. In this case teamwork was the essential tool on the way to success. In the evening when it got dark, the LED lights in the cars created a very unique look and the drivers needed all their skills to keep the cars on the technical track in Andernach without making any mistakes. On early Sunday morning it was still cold from the night and the rising sun brought back the shine on the cars which were still running lap after lap on the track. Also the drivers seemed to be happy as it got warmer again and after a super intense race team Wilde 13 (3462 laps/761km) crossed the finish line in 1st position, while team CH3NO2 Black Falcon (3443 laps/757km) came in 2nd with team LMI-Racing.com (3435 laps/755km) rounding out the podium in 3rd. All teams could finish the race and there were almost no technical issues instead of some broken plastic parts During the following trophy presentation every driver received his personal winner plate which will always remind him of this unique event which really showed the spirit and sportsmanship that makes RC racing the great sport it is.

| Yeah Racing M07 competition conversion kit Posted: 19 Sep 2019 12:45 AM PDT Following a couple of teasers on social media, Yeah Racing have finally fully unveiled their race-orientated competition chassis conversion set for the Tamiya M07 M-chassis kit. The chassis and drivetrain conversion does away with many of the standard plastic parts in favour of high-quality carbon fibre and aluminium items that not only look a lot cooler, the conversion also adds precision, adjustability and performance. It allows to use 210mm, 225mm or 239mm wheelbase settings, adds suspension adjustability and it includes a fluid-filled gear differential that improves traction while allowing to adjust diff action through different oil thickness. Two different front body mounts enable the use to utilise the standard M07 body mounting position or bumper-mounted body posts for greater body choices. Included in the set come upper and lower carbon fibre chassis parts, carbon fibre shock towers, as well as alloy bulkheads, steering assembly, suspension mounts and also ball races, battery mounts and even a set of balance weights.
