T-Works have introduced new POM suspension spacer sets for the Xray XB8 2020 as well as the HB Racing D8 series of buggies and GT cars. Starting with the XB8-related set, the kit includes two 3x9x7mm, two 3x9x2mm and four 3x9x1mm spacers all of which are machined of high-quality, self-lubricating POM material. Using the shims will allow to adjust the rear wheelbase setting by shifting the rear hub forth and back in its seat with the slick washer surface ensuring smooth suspension action. As for the HB Racing D8 series sets, available is a rear hub set consisting of 0.5mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm and 2.0mm shims as well as a set of steering block spacers. The shims are usable for the D819, D819RS, and D817 buggies as well as the RGT8 1/8th GT kit.

The IFMAR has announced that with an unanimous decision all four blocks and the IFMAR committee have decided to postpone the three IFMAR World Championship events planned for 2020. This means the Electric 1/10th ISTC Worlds in Heemstede, Netherlands, the 1/8th IC Off-Road Worlds in CiaNorte, Brasil and the 1/10th IC Track Touring Car Worlds in Brisbane, Australia are postponed to an alternative date, either 2021 or perhaps later. The first plan was to run those events in the beginning of 2021, making it a very busy calendar with the other already planned events. However, some alternative proposals are being studied now and IFMAR will come back to the racers later this year on how the IFMAR calendar will look like for 2021 and beyond. Additionally the IFMAR has the following to say about the decision:

This will be a disappointment for all of you, organizers, drivers and industry. For many of you, RC racing is the highlight of the week. However, this COVID-19 is not so easy to bring down and to avoid last minute cancellations and even more great disappointments we bring you this message now. Apart from the health issue there is also the travel ban that is in place for a big number of countries. We also need to consider this and travel possibilities needs to be back before we can start racing IFMAR WC events again.
