Chris Cristo wins Race For A Cure in Goshen

Last weekend Pin Stop Hobbies presented the Race For A Cure at the Goshen Connecticut Fairgrounds. The race was held in the center of the fairgrounds during the Goshen Stampede, which is a large fair with a rodeo, demolition derby, truck pulling, carnival rides and concerts; more than 10,000 people attended during the three days. The R/C track was built in a grassy area in the middle of everything, with dirt jumps and grass on the level parts of the track, so the fair attendees were constantly watching R/C action. X Factory Team driver Chris Cristo TQ’d and won 1/10 Stadium Truck with his X-60. Cristo took three of the four qualifiers and won the first two A Mains to sew up the title.

Serpent 747 option parts

Serpent have released a number of new optional parts for their new 1/10th 200mm chassis, the 747. First up is this lightweight CNC machined upper bumper made from high quality carbon fibre, which comes complete with aluminium posts and fasteners. Next up is a CNC machined radio plate support made from 7075 T6 aluminium and grey anodized. This support will increase chassis stiffness in the central section of the car while the 2 mounting lugs on the side of the part, allow the optional carbon side stiffener, used to reduce flex. The final two parts are anti-roll bar and lower shock mount extensions, machined from carbon fibre, which allow the ARB to be mounted more to the outside and the shocks more to the outside for a harder setting on both.

JConcepts Finnisher for Associated RC8.2E

JConcepts have released their Finnisher body for the Associated RC8.2E 1/8th Electric buggy. Increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps while the forward cab placement changes performance / visible bias which helps steering rotation in low traction corners. The side-pods have a strong and chiseled look, including a recessed area in the rear which allows another option for air-escape. The chassis side-guard to body fit has been tightened up which helps eliminate large empty voids that contribute to mid-flight directional changes. The area behind the cab has been greatly lowered exposing more of the engine heat-sink allowing more heat-escape while the V-stepped feature which is a highlighted styling cue of the Finnisher buggy bodies has been incorporated toward the rear and allows an additional area that can be trimmed to allow air-flow through the body.
