DE SpeedLine Plus 2.4 1/10th buggy wheels

The SpeedLine Plus 2.4 is the latest 1/10th buggy wheel from DE Racing. Offering a 2.4″ diameter, for the use with the latest generation of 1/10th buggy tyres, the wheel delivers maximum corner control and stability by utilising DE Racing’s “Sure Lock” foam retention system. This system, comprising of radial ribs that lock the wheel and foam insert together, retains maximum tyre traction to the racing surface while eliminating the vague inconsistencies that come from an insert that is free to move around on its wheel. The rims are available for Team Associated, Kyosho and TLR 1/10th buggies and in white, yellow or black colour.

Markus Hellquist wins SSIC Rd6

The final round of the South Swedish Indoor Cup for electric touring cars was held in the very South of Sweden in the small town of Tomelilla. The track was quite technical with low traction, making many drivers suffering from rear end traction. In the practice rounds Markus Hellquist laid down the fastest lap ahead of Daniel Carlsson and Jonas Andersson. After 3 rounds of qualifying with the best round to count the order kept the same, with Hellquist being roughly one lap ahead of Daniel Carlsson and Jonas Andersson.  In the finals Markus kept on with his previous pace and never let the cars behind him come close to fight for the victory. Behind Markus there wasn’t a whole lot of action either, the top 3 kept the same in all three finals resulting in the scoreboard being exactly the same as the qualifying for the top 3.
