Yeah Racing X Dinky SCX10 II cantilever suspension kit

Yeah Racing have teamed up with Dinky RC to present a cantilever suspension kit for the Axial SCX10 II and SCX10. The inline suspension design allows for the use of flat beds, full drop beds, and increased interior room when compared to the original shock and body mount setup. More articulation is made possible by the high ratio suspension system thanks to the cantilever system which will allow for maximum tyre contact whilst navigating through off-road terrain. The kit comes pre-assembled and ready to drop it into the chassis.

JConcepts B6-series 1-piece wing mount & wedge

JConcepts has added a new item to the Shapeways store for B6 and B6D owners. The one-piece rear wing mount and wing wedge offers functionality and durability as the mount resists unwanted twisting or tweaking while being able to adjust wing position very quickly in four different positions. Braced in the middle, the seat area carries some inspiration from full-scale racing while the center divider brings the piece together for solid construction, fit and finish. The one piece wing mount can be found here while the wing wedge is available here.

Robin Frischkopf wins inaugural Indoor Bike Park GP

The newly established Indoor Bike Park off-road clay track in Pfäffikon, Switzerland played host to the inaugural GP Race. The event was held in 1/8th E-Buggy, 1/10th 2WD and 4WD classes and attracted about 50 drivers from Germany, France, Italy and Switzerland. The well prepared track offered a smooth surface, technical jumps and a nice layout all of which made for some close racing. In the 10-minute 1/8th E-Buggy A-mains Robin Frischkopf, Micha Widmaier and Romeo Grass all battled for the win and in the end it was Robin who came out on top in the opening two mains to grab the overall win from Micha in second and Romeo in third.

The latest Hudy car bag to hit the light of the day is dedicated for 1/10th buggies. Like the recently introduced 1/10th on-road and 1/12th on-road bag, the buggy specific variant is made of reinforced fibre material, it sports bright Hudy graphics, a handle for easy transportation and it is easily attached to the Hudy travel bags. A cut out in the upper lid makes way for the rear wing, doing away with the need to remove the wing or wing mounts.
