…duo swapped positions back and forth. However, with speed approach the speed of light, things happen and board don’t give. Hagberg received the worst of it with Howart somehow capitalizing and grabbing second. But, Lia was having issues of his own and when the horn sounded, it was Knapp whose patience paid off grabbing the last post on the podium.

…2WD World Champion Jared Tebo packing up only a few hours into the event. Debuting a lovely new trailer he had built for the upcoming nitro season, 1:8 Worlds Finalist Josh Wheeler said while he only brought the trailer to test everything worked he was glad he did as he didn’t have to sit in the heavy fumes all day. I said last year that unless the track banned the use of smelly additives I wasn’t going back, this year I am putting it in writing. As Eoghain pointed out to the track owner Scott McDonald at the end of…

Multiple US National Champion Josh Cyrul was in touch to introduce the new CEFX Evolution. This is a radical new approach to electric TC racing from the mind that brought you the TOP Photon. The Evolution improves traction, balance, drivability and ease of maintenance all in one simple yet very effective design. The concept has already proven it’s potential with a 3rd place podium finish at the 2010 Snowbird Nationals as well as a TQ and win at the 2010 ROAR Carpet Nationals. At the heart of the Evolution was the desire to create a system that actually had a…

…LiPo pack to avoid any unwanted play or conflicts with the front belt. To make full use of the outer brace you should invest in TOP Racing’s LiPo Brace Weight, Centre LiPo Weights and Cylindrical LiPo Weight sets. These mount to the already existing mounting holes and help fine tune the balance of the chassis when using lighter LiPo batteries over conventional NiMH cells. The middle layshaft assembly is of a fixed layshaft design with no rotating parts beside the 100T 64dp spur gear and the 20T drive pulleys on the left and right hand side. Rear The set-up of…

The Josh Cyrul penned chassis has plenty of nice features, including super low centre of gravity, a system for balancing and weighting the car when using LiPo packs and diff pulleys that utilize 3-point triangular diff ball slots. The car will be available in and around June. Source: Racing Art Company [rac.cc]…

Designed by Josh Cyrul, the all new TOP Racing chassis will be called the Photon. Designed to be suitable for both asphalt and carpet racing, the car has a super low centre of gravity thanks to the fact that most structural components lay on the main chassis, which minimizes material volume and mass above the main chassis. The shock towers are also mounted directly to the bulkhead without the use of a bulkhead cover, eliminating unnecessary parts and lowering the cars CofG. The Photon has been optimized for use with LiPo packs and is adaptable to the current maximum regulated…
