Brian Kinwald wins 2wd at Southwest Invitational GP
X-Factory are reporting that Brian Kinwald TQ’d and won the modified buggy class at the recent Southwest Invitational GP held this past weekend at Competition Hobbies in Tucson, Ariz. Qualifying was by fastest single run and Kinwald took TQ by the smallest of margins in the last qualifier. Then Brian took the Championship with his X-6 Squared in a closely fought single-A main. The challenging lay-out was typical for the S.I.G.P. and this year featured a cross-over jump that went over the main straight! Traction is always high at C.H. and the S.I.G.P. was no exception. Good lay-outs with high traction and great drivers always makes for an exciting race. Kinwald also TQ’d pro 2WD short course in his SCX-60. Again there was a very close main, this time with Kinwald leading on the last lap before a small mistake sent him to second.

X-Factory E-Speed heatsink & fan mount
X Factory and Ellis Stafford have announced the newest E-Speed part, a heatsink and fan mount to fit all X-Cars with 4-Gear transmissions. The heatsink is a blue aluminium part that perfectly matches all the other E-Speed and Dirtz Dialed Partz from X Factory and looks great with a D.D.P. motor plate. Heat from the motor goes into the motor plate and the finned heatsink greatly aids cooling of the entire unit. All X Factory parts play well together, and the new E-Speed heatsink fits perfectly with the existing D.D.P. transmission brace. The new part also mounts a 25 mm fan in position to blow directly onto the car’s motor. The two cooling aids, heatsink and fan, are especially important in stock motor racing where modern brushless stock motors are often geared to the moon. Ellis designed the heatsink himself, as with all E-Speed parts, and like everything from X Factory, the new part is complete with a dialed fan and all the necessary hardware.
