| Team Associated tease possible B6.1 2WD buggy Posted: 06 Feb 2018 08:43 AM PST Team Associated have release a first teaser image of what could be the follow-up model to the popular B6 platform. With 2018 being an IFMAR 1/10th Buggy World Championship year many have already awaited a first vital sign of a B6.1 or even a B7 and now AE have started to unveil the latest incarnation of the legendary RC10 platform step by step as they did with the previous platforms. While the front end of the new buggy remains unchanged, Team Associated hint on a larger rear end revamp, stating “We love the front end of the B6, refined, simple, and incredibly adjustable, but for the rear end, we had some big plans! Some even questioned whether it could be done…so the engineers within #Area51 got to work. The result: Easier to work on Increased adjustability (more on this later) More consistent feel on track and MORE!”. The eagle-eyed of us would get a first taste of the changes to come when looking at Dustin Evans’ Reedy Race winning B6 that was equipped with new rear A-arms that feature inserts to adjust the lower shock angle. We bring you more updates on the buggy as soon as they become available. Source: Team Associated [teamassociated.com] |
| Dimitris Fotinos wins Greek XRS Off-road Rd1 Posted: 06 Feb 2018 06:33 AM PST The opening round of the Greek Xray Racing Series Off-road was held at the Fanatix Racing Track recently. The event saw the running of a sole 2WD Buggy class and had last year’s 4WD Greek champion, Dimitris Fotinos, setting the fastest lap in qualifying. Starting from 2nd on the grid was last year’s 2WD Greek champion Amaksas while on-road specialist Dimitris Ioannidis secured P3 at his maiden off-road outing. The opening A-main saw Fotinos setting the pace and he would also bring home the win with a 4-seconds gap over Sikianakis and Katexakis. A2 again saw Fotinos leading from tone to tone with the battle for the runner-up spot being on between Ioannidis and Amaksas with the latter making a mistake three laps before the end, allowing the young driver to take the 2nd place with last year’s 2WD Greek champion behind him. In the last leg, Fotinos led from the start but a mistake in the closing stages gave Ioannidis the chance to close the gap and have a decent battle, but Fotinos again came out on top, leaving behind Ioannidis in 2nd place overall as Katexakis rounded out the podium result.

| Posted: 06 Feb 2018 12:27 AM PST Coming from RPM and made for Traxxas’ Stampede 2WD truck is an additional rear bumper. It combines scale looks with performance that works as it is designed to protect the rear of the chassis, the motor and the body, all while still allowing the use of a stock Traxxas wheelie bar. Additionally, if drivers decide to run without the wheelie bar, the rear bumper is so versatile, it will adapt and allow either configuration. The bumper for the Stampede 2wd consists of a scale bumper that uses design elements from many of today’s top full-scale bumper manufacturers. RPM start with an upper tubular shape, followed by faux stamped sheet metal filleted holes, a scale license plate area and with a final touch of a pair of scale 3” square openings for 5mm LEDs. The RPM bumper supports are designed tough, with serious impact absorption characteristics built in. With the use of an optional RPM rear bumper mount, the protection for the motor becomes nearly indestructible. The rear bumper is available in black or blue colour and it is made from engineering grade nylons. Source: RPM [rpmrcproducts.com] |
