Ralph Burch is World Champion
He was last after the first corner but Ralph Burch didn’t let the opening drama get to him as the Texan climbed his way back through the field to take a convincing victory at the Gulf Coast Raceway to become the 2010 Nitro Touring Car World Champion. Starting from fourth on the gird, the 43-year-old American got spun out at the first corner and was hit by most of the pursuing field dropping him down to tail of the pack. Taking a few laps to regain his composure he set about a stunning recovery that would see him hit the front just before 10-minutes after a thrilling battle with the then leader Marc Rheinard and the sensation of these championships Takumi Matsuda.

Losi 4wd Micro Rally car
Losi have released this awesome looking Micro Rally car. An agile 4WD drivetrain and powerful micro motor hooked up with a rugged chassis, extended suspension travel and oil filled shocks make the Micro Rally Car a blast to drive on a myriad of different surfaces. Ready to run straight out of the box all that‘s needed to get up and running is to charge the 220 mAh battery and the rally car can hit the dirt. It features a scale rally style body with a choice of four trim colours based on two basic types of livery. The traditional type of rally/SCT livery is complimented with a style more in-line with the looks of popular rally/SCT liveries seen in the US today. Scale wheels and tyres finish off the scale appearance. The built in combined receiver and speed controller keep weight to a minimum but still offer fully proportional control both in forward and reverse and nerf bars incorporated into the design of the chassis also allow a level of protection for the electronics as well as the suspension.
