CJ Jelin takes April Fools Classic 4WD Mod title

The 30th annual April Fools Classic was held at Intermountain R/C Raceway in Salt Lake City, Utah recently with about 400 entries for a multitude of electric off-road classes. When the dust had settled after qualifying it was Xray’s CJ Jelin with the TQ in the 4WD Modified Buggy class from Team Associated’s Dustin Evans in 2nd. In the opening A-main it was Dustin with the win after he was able to get past CJ when the latter went wide on the triple. A2 and A3 then were a pretty straight forward affair for CJ who would take the overall title from Dustin Evans 2nd and Team Associated’s Jake Mayo 3rd.

T-Works MBX8 CF shock towers & arm stiffeners

Coming from T-Works and made for the Mugen MBX8 buggy are new carbon fibre front and rear shock towers as well as carbon fibre A-arm stiffeners. Starting with the shock towers, the parts are machined from high-quality 4mm carbon fibre and are understood to utilise the standard kit geometry. The towers are light of weight and due to their different flex characteristics compared to the standard items, they can improve handling on slippery surfaces. The shock stays are available separately or as a complete set including the front and rear tower. Also new are carbon fibre A-arm inserts for the MBX8. The inserts will reduce the natural flex of the arms which can be beneficial in a range of track and temperature conditions. The inserts are machined from high-quality carbon fibre and are available as a complete set or separately for the front or rear.
