DE Racing SpeedLine Plus 1/8th buggy wheels

DE Racing SpeedLine Plus 1/8th buggy wheels-1

DE Racing introduce the SpeedLine Plus 1/8th buggy wheels. They are designed to deliver maximum corner control and stability by utilising the “Sure Lock” foam retention system. This system, comprised of radial ribs that lock the wheel and foam insert together, retains maximum tyre traction to the racing surface while eliminating the vague inconsistencies that come from an insert that is free to move around on its wheel. The high-precision 83mm rims offer high durability, a smooth dish phase with bold logo, a glue channel for clean tyre install and they weigh in at only 38g.

Yee Kok Leong wins at Malaysia Nationals finale

The final round of the Malaysia National Nitro On-road Championship was run at the Taman Titiwangsa Circuit. In the 1/8th category Serpent driver Nick Chong took the TQ spot but it was Kimie (Capricorn) who took the early lead in the final, closely followed by Haji Jusri (Serpent). Later Kimie had to pull out of the race, handing the lead to Haji but he had to come in for a tyre change around the 20 minute mark which allowed Nick Chong to jump into the lead but halfway into the race a broken steering servo stopped Nick which allowed Yee Kok Leong (Serpent) to eventually take the win from Serpent team mate Haji Jusri and Neil (Xray).
