Usually a marker of more to come, Spanish racer Iker Tellez is the new EFRA 1:8 Nitro Buggy European B Champion, the Team Associated driver winning the title ahead of Top Qualifier Bradley Baird at the ACDB Os Beirões track in Guarda, Portugal. A champion that counts David Ronnefalk, Juan Carlos Canas, Riccardo Berton, and Mattia Polito as some of its past champions, in qualifying it was the Mugen Seiki of Northern Ireland’s Baird that secured the overall TQ with fastest times in the final 2 of the 4 rounds. Fastest in the opening round, British Agama driver Erik Lykke qualified in P2 followed by Tellez, fastest in Q2, and Portuguese Xray driver Pedro Gomes. Winning his Semi in the fastest time it was Lykke who started on pole ahead of Tellez, Gomes and Baird. At the start of the 45-minute final a strong start by Tellez saw him take a lead he wouldn’t relinquish with the fastest lap of the race helping him to a winning margin of over half a lap on Baird. Lining up 11 on the 13 car grid, Spain’s Erik Becerril Rodríguez came through to complete the podium with his Team Associated ahead of the similar buggy of Italy’s Andrea Cairoli.

Edmunds becomes double FEMCA Asian Champion in Malaysia

Australian Team Sparko driver Jayden Edmunds completed the double at the FEMCA 1:8 Offroad Asian Championship which took place in Malaysia over the weekend. Racing on the oil treated Putrajaya Offroad RC Park track which is located south of the capital city of Kuala Lumpur, the race to be crowned the official champion of Asia attracted just 49 drivers and with Kyosho’s back to back champion Phi-Long Nguyen not in attendance this year, the title was wide open. In qualifying five rounds saw Edmunds take the TQ with 3 fastest runs compared to the two of the compatriot Zac Foster whose Mugen Seiki took P2. In eBuggy, Edmunds, who only joined Sparko at the end of June, completed a clean sweep to lock in the TQ again ahead of Foster. In the 12-car eBuggy main, Edmunds took A1 and 2 to lift his first FEMCA title before going on to secure the double in the 1-hour 15-car Nitro final. From the front he controlled the race to win with a comfortable margin over Foster while from P4 on the grid it was Malaysia’s very own Ken NG who completed the podium with his Sparko.

Revolution Design B7.1 Alu Caster Block Set

New from Revolution Design comes this Aluminium Caster Block Set for the Team Associated B7.1 1:10 2WD Buggy. The upgrade part directly replaces the original plastic part and, thanks to its extremely stiff construction from high-quality 7075 aluminium, offers noticeably more precise steering – a crucial advantage, especially on high-grip tracks. In addition to the increased stability, the set scores with an optimised geometry: The orientation of the ball stud has been changed and now points forward. This ensures a significantly freer suspension movement under load. Another positive side effect of this smart design is the simpler assembly, which also saves weight. Since the screws and the carbon plate for mounting the ball stud are no longer needed, you save valuable weight in a crucial area. Additionally, the system offers maximum flexibility for your setup: The ball stud position can now be adjusted cleverly and easily via an included insert. Precision-machined and elegantly black anodised as a final visual touch they feature a silver chamfer.

JConcepts Cat PB Dragonator body

Having brought back a little of the 2000’s look to 1:10 offroad buggy racing with the release of the Dragonator body shell, JConcepts has added a variant for the latest Schumacher Cat PB 1:10 4WD Buggy. The new body is heavily inspired by the early 2000’s dynamo. With the 1:10 buggy class is ruled primary by JConcepts performance bodies such as the S2, F2, P2, and S15, for the new season of offroad racing Jason Ruona and his Florida company got a bit more creative and sculpted this angular shell stating the ‘Cab forward, cab rearward, the debate lives on, but the Dragonator is something different’. A good portion of the new shell is all cab, the narrow front develops width as it reaches the rear, up to a specialty fin where it picks up stability. The long swooping side windows provide an aggressive stance that all converges to the front like an arrow. The power pods are raised in advanced territory directing and channeling flow over the centre of the chassis and through to the rear. The heavy inner edge of the power pods is a hard stop but ultimately the defining concept of the new item. The decreasing radius portion of the back of the cab is unique, created to ride low-profile on the track surface and equalise the front to rear bias of the all-cab concept. Stepped rear “doghouse” serves as the termination point of the windows and positions it just before the rear tower. The body arrives as clear polycarbonate with protective film and is available in standard formed thickness.
