| Phair & Maizer win at Indoor Northeast Series Rd2 Posted: 08 Feb 2018 07:58 AM PST Round 2 of the Indoor Northeast Series at was held at 46RC and it offered an awesome turnout and tight racing. With 104 entries in a really small building, the place was packed full. The track is very tight, 100 percent red clay, which was occasionally watered throughout the day, so the track tended to get dry towards the end of each qualifying round and the mains. There were three heats of 2WD Modified buggy and 4 heats of 4WD buggy. The mains were pretty stacked, with fast drivers in each A-main. In the 4WD main, Jared Phair avoided the wrecks and got out to a comfortable lead early on. However, track conditions were getting progressively inconsistent and went downhill about every two laps. The 2nd place driver caught up after a couple of bobbles, but after a last-lap final attempt at passing, he failed to do so and Jared held on for the win from Stephen Maizer 2nd and Ian Kiss 3rd. Over in 2WD it was Stephen Maizer with the win from Jared Phair Matt Nevoso in 2nd and 3rd respectively. Source: Xray [teamxray.com] |
| Team Associated release new B6.1 teaser image Posted: 08 Feb 2018 07:43 AM PST Following a couple of first teaser images Team Associated have released an even better view on what is understood to be the forthcoming B6.1 1/10th 2WD buggy. The front end is taken over from the previous B6 – and sports an aluminium bulkhead – with the rear end being mostly new, including rear A-arms, uprights and also the gearbox that will feature a “reverse” design with the top shaft having the slipper adjustment nut sitting on the opposite side of the main gear – pretty much a design as it was used on Team Durango’s DEX210 series of vehicles. Also visible is a neat front tower screw and edge protector as it is mandatory on many indoor carpet tracks nowadays. With the curtain now pretty much fallen, we expect the full kit release very soon. Update: In the meantime Team Associated have released more images of the forthcoming buggy. You can see them after the break. Source: Team Associated [teamassociated.com] |
| Posted: 08 Feb 2018 06:43 AM PST Coming from Hudy is their new ball joint wrench that will ease and speed up camber and steering link building. The small and lightweight tool offers two slots of 10x4mm and 9x5mm respectively, one on the left side and one on the right side, that hold open-design ball cups while inserting the turnbuckle. As the tool does away with the need to use pliers or fingers it ensures both the ball cups and fingers stay free from harm. Source: Hudy [hudy.net] |
