T-Works MP11 2-Piece Engine Mount Plate

Having previously released a One Piece Engine Mount Plate for the Kyosho MP11 1:8 Nitro Buggy, T-Works is now offering the option of a 2-piece mounting plate. Made from 7075-T6 aluminium alloy and finished with a gold-black surface finish with rolled edges, compared with the one-piece mount, this split-style design optimises chassis torsional flexibility to boost tyre grip.

The plates come complete with mounting screws.

AKA Reverb 1:8 Buggy Tyre

New from US tyre manufacturer AKA comes the all new Reverb 1:8 Buggy race tyre.

Mardave exploring Meteor re-release

Just over 40-years after it was launched, niche British manufacturer Mardave has announced that the Meteor buggy that it produced up until 1992 could now be a possible re-release option for the company. Best known for its 1:12 Mini kits, the small produced also previously produced entry level 1:10 buggies. Having sold the rights and molds for its Cobra 1:10 2WD Buggy to Stack RC last year, re-releasing the Meteor was a little more challenging. The previous Mardave owner had destroyed the tooling for this low cost alternative to the RC10, which meant new owner Chris Wilkinson always said no to bringing back to the Meteor but now he has hinted that a re-release was being explored. This has come about due to new production processes evolving so fast and Mardave partnering up with suitable partner. With retro a big think in RC, fan are sure to be excited by today’s update on social media of a potential return of the kit.

Woulhunter wins Asian Buggy Championships Australia

Factory Kyosho driver Christian Wolhuter took the big win at the Australian round of the Asian Buggy Championships, the 2004 ABC Champion taking the top step of the podium ahead of Jackson Beale and Jayden Edmunds at the Pine Pills track in Brisbane. With the 3rd stop on the 4 round calendar attracting over 300 entries, it was to be a challenging weekend for both the race organisers and racers as rain and further incoming bad weather forced the racing to be condensed to finish under the lights on Saturday night. In qualifying it was the Team Associated of last year’s Australian round winner Alex Bernadzik who took the TQ honours from Beale’s Tekno, each having a TQ run from the 2 rounds of qualifying Race Director Scotty Ernst & his team managed to squeeze in around the weather. With a P2 in Q2, Wolhuter would line up P3 ahead of the Xray of New Zealand Champion Logan Toia, and new Sparko signing Edmunds. In the 45-minute final unfortunately a bad batch of glow plugs would end Bernadzik’s chances of repeating his 2025 win on lap 1 as he suffered a series of flameouts. Despite putting in the fastest lap of the race and rising back up to 7th in the 14 buggy field, he would retire in the closing stages of the race. Up front Wolhuter took the win by a comfortable 24-seconds from Beale while Edmunds just held off Zan Ryan by 4-second to complete the podium. In eBuggy, it was Bernadzik who also took the TQ which he was able to convert to the win ahead of Edmunds and Wolhuter. The fourth season of the Asian Buggy Championships concludes in Indonesia with the fourth round at West Side Raceway in Jakarta from September 3-6th.
