De Kolom van de röntgenstraal - de Voorbereiding van Euro Categories - Industry, Xray, Racing, Products - comments closed
Een dubbele rekening van Röntgenstraal vandaag met het 21ste en 22ste voorschot in de kolom van de Röntgenstraal van bedrijfeigenaar en belangrijkste ontwerper Juraj Hudy nu online. In deze maandenkolom, spreekt Juraj over zowel de voorbereidingen voor de 1/8ste schaalEuro in Griekenland als de 1/10ste schaalEuro in Spanje.
Met ons eigen fabrieks binnenspoor, is het leven gemaakt tot een gemakkelijker beetje. Martin bouwde een exemplaar van de het spoorlay-out van Euro en wij verzamelden alle recente verbeteringsideeën wij hadden en alle prototypedelen voor het testen voorbereidden. De prestaties, de behandeling, de duurzaamheid, en de meetkunde hebben allen op het hoogste niveau voor ons T2' 008 en als dusdanig konden ons wij op de kleinere details (vooral bij het verminderen van gewicht) concentreren en verschillende drivetraindelen testen.

Our friends over at oOple have a report from the final round of the 2008 BRCA 10th off road National Series which drew to a close at the all astro Stotfold track. The 2WD championship was already decided in favour of Ellis Stafford’s X-Factory X6, the 4WD title however had come down to the last meeting with only three possible winners, Lee Martin, Ellis Stafford and Chris Doughty. In 2wd Ellis Stafford qualified second behind Neil Cragg but it was Ellis that took the win to go with his 2WD championship title. Lee Martin in the 4WD class had won the series by round three of qualifying, with neither of his title challengers able to TQ the meeting for the extra point it meant they couldn’t catch him. Lining up second behind Darren Bloomfield, Lee took the first two legs of the A final to seal another National win.
Read the full report here, including lots of great photos and interviews.

Last weekend saw round 7 of the BRCA 1/8th scale championships held at the Halifax track and it proved to be very evenly matched racing with no one driver having a clear speed advantage. Qualifying, which saw the first 2 rounds run on a damp track, saw Mugen racer Andy North claim TQ ahead of Serpent trio Tim Wood, Richard Hicklin and Mark Green. The final was again a very close race with no more than 1/2 a lap separating the top 4 places. From the start, Andy North was slow away and struggled with cold tires in the early stages but was soon on the pace, while Chris Heath was again on a charge from 5th on the grid. After a slow start, Chris started to make back time and with him being able to cut out a fuel stop would be in contention at the finish but unfortunately for him he had a gearbox fail with 4 minutes to go while leading the race. This gave the win to Tim Wood just ahead of Mark Green in 2nd with Andy North taking 3rd.
Thanks to Andy North for the report and pictures.

Jörn Neumann wins German 2WD Nats Categories - Electric, Off Road, National, Racing - comments closed
Only two weeks after winning the 4WD Nationals at the Trier track in Germany Team Associated/Team Durango driver Jörn Neumann also secured himself the 2WD title. The championship was held at the challenging track of the MSC Karlsfeld located in the South German Munich area. The meeting that was held over two days suffered a bit from Saturdays rainy weather which caused some delay and affected the qualifying session since the clay track got very muddy which lead to questionable conditions during the last rounds on the first day. But come Sunday all of the 64 racers in both the stock and modified class were rewarded by beautiful sunny weather. Racing started with the remaining of the qualifying rounds and early start of the finals on Sunday noon. In 2WD (13.5T) Stock CS Electronic/Associated driver Christian Stanglmeier took TQ in front of “Old Dude” Eberhard Beck (Associated) and young Sebastian Findeisen (Associated). In 2WD Modified LRP/Associated driver Benni Gröschel secured himself the number one spot some nine seconds in front of Jörn Neumann (Associated) and “Fast Boy” Robert Hart (Associated).
