Leadfinger Racing RB7 A2 Tactic body shell

Posted: 15 May 2019 06:52 AM PDT

The A2 Tactic body for the popular Kyosho Ultima RB7 is the next addition of 2WD bodies from Leadfinger Racing for 2019. Like the A2 Tactic bodies before it, the RB7 body has an added roof vent that allows for better cooling for today’s sensitive electronics. Running cooler has its advantages and feeding cool air directly over the power house is a welcomed upgrade. Behind that, LFR has designed a top fin that joins into a rear swoop for added stability and increased rear down force. The combination of the two help give the Kyosho Ultima RB7 a balanced and precise feel during mid corner rotation and on power exit. The body comes in clear polycarbonate ready for paint and including two pre-cut Tactic wings, stickers and window masks.

RedWorks XT2 & XB4 carbon fibre optionals

Posted: 15 May 2019 04:08 AM PDT

RedWorks from France have introduced new carbon fibre optionals for the Xray XT2 and XB4 kits. First up are front and rear shock towers for the XT2 truck. The parts are of an updated design that is both stronger and also cooler looking thanks to several machined sections and a heavy chamfer that ensures greater durability. The front and rear tower are available separately. Also new is a 2mm gearbox and suspension spacer for the XT2 and XB2 that raised both the gearbox and suspension which comes in handy especially when running with low ride heights and in high-grip conditions. Last but not least is a carbon fibre top plate for the XB4 4WD buggy that connects the front gearbox and the steering posts. Like the shock towers the top plate features heavy machining for looks and durability.

Horne & Legue win at Michigan State Champs

Posted: 15 May 2019 12:38 AM PDT

The annual Michigan State Championships were held at Dirtburner Racing in Livonia, Michigan recently. This race typically brings out a few heavy hitters and this year didn’t disappoint. In 2WD Mod Buggy it was Allen Horne with the TQ from Mike Legue in 2nd. 4WD Mod Buggy and 1/8th E-Buggy then saw Mike Legue taking the overall TQs over Ayden and Allen Horne. The 2WD Mod Buggy A-mains then saw Allen and Ayden Horne coming out on top as Mike Legue had to settle for 3rd overall as the grip had come up and he wasn’t able to push his car as desired.

4WD Buggy saw Mike Legue taking the win from tone to tone despite a last minute push of Ayden who ultimately came in 2nd overall. Allen Horne would round out the podium in 3rd.

Over in E-Buggy it was again Mike Legue with a clean win as he left behind Nathan Betley in 2nd and Dj Lecoyer in 3rd.
