CTS3 Rd5 – Report

P1 Hobbies in Ukiah, California played host to round 5 of the 2018 CTS3 and the event’s name was called Heat which was perfect since temperatures reached over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The track was run counter clockwise which included a down hill straight away and a center kink making it almost difficult to drive hard and go fast. In Modified Touring Car, it was Rick Hohwart setting the early TQ and kept setting the bar higher with a super fast Q3. Rick’s prototype TC7.2 became quickly noticed and was the car to beat as he won tone to tone in the main with David Jun (Team Associated) 2nd and Brandon Clements (Awesomatix) in the 3rd. The points chase is close for these three drivers leading to two more rounds in the series.

Leadfinger Racing SDX4 A2 Tactic body

New from Leadfinger Racing comes the A2 Tactic body shell for the Serpent Spyder SDX4 4WD buggy. The new design draws its influence form the previous A2 designs created by LFR. To bring back some old school style, the windshield has been laid down to remove the steep rake, while at the same time keeping a modern cab forward feel. The combo gives the Spyder a super slick and fast look from nose to tail. The top of the cab has an added roof vent for additional cooling that pushes air flow over the centre diff and motor, further enhancing performance and style. To help keep everything planted, the rear of the cab has the traditional swoop along with added down force ailerons on the top of the side pods. The body comes clear with window masks, stickers and two pre-cut clear Tactic wings included.
