Alexander Hagberg joins Elangears

Alexander Hagberg, winner of the recent Snowbirds, got in touch to let us know that having used LRP chargers for most of his career he has changed electronics sponsor and will now use Elangears chargers and electronic accessories.

This Korean based company is manufacturing very high quality chargers with the best components available where the result is a reliable and well performing product. I have chosen Elangears chargers because of their modern look, user friendly interface and high performance. I will use their complete line of items where some are still to be released in 2012; chargers, power supply, tire warmer and power station.

Neumann Top Qualifier in 4WD EOS Buggy

Today has turned out to be a day for Offroad’s European Champions with 4WD Champion Joern Neumann wrapping up the TQ honours for 4WD Buggy at the Euro Offroad Series much like 2WD Champion Lee Martin did this morning in the 2WD Buggy class. Driving his Speed Passion powered Durango DEX410, Neumann secured pole position for tomorrow’s triple A-Main at the Black Country Arena when like Martin he made it four TQ runs from four qualifiers. Looking like he might complete the clean sweep, the German made a mistake in his fifth & final qualifier allowing team-mate Hupo Honigl to TQ the round which means it’s will be an all Team Durango affair at the front of grid.
