David Crompton leaves Team Magic Categories - Team Magic, Gas, Off Road, Racing, Drivers - comments closed
According to sightings at this weekends British National event in Holbeach, Team Magics main buggy racer in the UK, David Crompton, has left the Taiwanese manufacturer and was spotted racing a HoBao Hyper 8. Our site partners Neo Buggy have confirmed that the 8 time National Champion would be racing the Hyper 8 buggy for the rest of the season but didnt give a reason for the change, although perhaps the M1B, which had been seen with a lot of prototype parts recently, just isnt competitive in its current state?

K Factory options for Team Magic M1B Categories - K-Factory, Team Magic, Accessories, Off Road, Products - comments closed
K Factory, the optional parts wing of Team Magic, have announced the release of some new optional parts for the Team Magic M1B 1/8th scale buggy. First up (above) is a replacement for the original composite servo saver linkage mount, which has been made from aluminium with composite inserts, that increases the strength and durability in this vital area. Also new are some rather cool looking chassis stiffeners, for both the front and the rear of the car, that have been made from aluminium and carbon fibre which are super lightweight and additionally keep the centre of gravity of the M1B as low as possible. And finally is a set of center diff mount stiffening rods, which work with the chassis stiffeners to remove all flex from around the center diff that could reduce the life of the parts in this area.

Team Magic Metered Glow Starter Categories - Tools, Team Magic, Engines, Products - comments closed
CML Distribution in the UK have announced the release of the new metered glow starter from Team Magic . A nice looking tool, this version sports a meter on the top end to show if your plug is working or not and sports a knurled edge for easy grip. The shiney black coating looks really cool, and the orange spring is a nice touch, so for looks alone this would be a great glow starter.
