This past weekend at Apex RC in middle Tennessee racers came out for the first time in months to return to the great hobby we enjoy. The racers came from Ohio, Georgia, and Kentucky to join in the event. The track staff and owners put a plan in place to make sure everyone was safe and respected amid the C-19 issues. The track was open for a limited time on Saturday for setup, cleaning, and a little practice. As Sunday rolled around the track opened earlier than usual to get guys a chance to shake the cobwebs. Nathan Flores positioned himself in the TQ spot in VTA making improvements to reset his own TQ. And after 3 rounds he was on the pole for the 8-minute main. He would go on to take the victory and in one of the nicest moves to maintain his lead by driving between two cars of lap traffic. Jeff Mobely came in 2nd some 1.1 seconds behind as Brett McGee finished in 3rd overall, already a lap down.

Nathan Flores would start 7th in 21.5 Touring, but with a very steady hand and running clean was able to grab a very respectable 3rd place behind Marc Livermore in 2nd and the winner, National Champ Kemp Anderson.

And not to be completely out of Fun, Nathan lastly took TQ and the win in the ultra-fun Euro Truck class as Andy Eisher came in 2nd overall, as Logan Pilcher finished in 3rd overall.

Thanks to Myron Kinnard for the report.

Coming soon is the MTS T3M 2020 mid-motor electric touring car kit. The car builds on a class-standard carbon fibre double deck chassis construction, however its symmetrical design allows swap the batter and servo, motor and speed controller around which allows more control over the weight bias when conditions are calling for kit. The centre bulkhead and motor mount is made up from two identical brackets that make for a sturdy mid section, shifting twisting points further out for more control over the overall chassis flex. The suspension utilises MTS’ proven carbon fibre plate design with aluminium pivot balls while blade-type front and rear anti-roll bars reduce chassis roll during cornering. The car is also equipped with new ultra short shock absorbers whose inner conical shape makes for a progressive shock action and thus improved car control on very high-bite surfaces while the steering utilises a unique direct drive single bellcrank setup which avoids unwanted influence on chassis tweak during cornering. Other features include widely adjustable chassis flex, a fully adjustable battery mount, a 30mm/40mm fan mount bracket and titanium-nitride-coated 10.9 steel screws. The kit will become available very soon.
