R1 Wurks B7 Ultra-Light Pro Slipper Eliminator System

R1 Wurks has released its latest iteration of their slipper eliminator system for the Team Associated B7 platform. The focus of the Ultra-Lightweight Pro Slipper Eliminator System is on significant weight reduction, particularly in areas affecting rotational inertia, resulting in faster drivetrain spool-up, improved acceleration, and enhanced overall efficiency. This was achieved by eliminating traditional gear-mounting screws and replacing them with a single lightweight aluminium nut, which not only reduces rotational mass but also ensures a secure, warp-free gear mount. The Ultra lightweight comes in at just 3.4 grams (excluding gear weight) and comes with lightweight R1 Wurks titanium top shaft screw, an aluminum Lock nut, and is compatible with most aftermarket gears, including Kimbrough (gear not included). The system comes complete with its own 8mm wrench.

Balestri retains European Nitro Touring Car title

Infinity’s Dario Balestri has retained his 1:10 European Nitro Touring Car title, the Italian claiming his 10th EFRA European Championship career win today at the iconic Apeldoorn track in Netherlands. The reigning 1:8 Onroad World Championship took the win ahead of team-mate Carmine Raiola with 2023 Champion Toni Gruber completing the podium for Capricorn. In qualifying it was reigning World Champion Jilles Groskamp who secured the TQ ahead of Raiola, Balestri and Polish driver Jakub Rozycki – the Top 4 going directly to the 45-minute Main final. With Gruber and Melvin Diekmann winning their Semi finals they completed the top half of the grid. Topping 3 of the 5 qualifiers, Groskamp continued his form in the final setting a very fast pace out front and the fastest lap but a flameout on lap 69 would end the Dutch ace’s challenge. With tyre strategy proving critical, while Raiola took over the lead he would run out of tyres allowing Balestri to take the lead which he would hold to the finish. Taking over lead for a number of laps as the pit stops played out, Gruber looked like he had a strategy that could pay dividends but he would suffer a flameout. Finishing on the same lap as Riola, the German still completed the podium. A steady race from Rozycki saw him finish fourth ahead of the Mugen of British Champion Alex Thurston.

Mugen Seiki MSB1 Option Parts

New from Mugen Seiki are a number of option parts for its MSB1 1:10 2WD Buggy. The release includes a new -4mm Chassis, which as the title suggests is shorter, with the 4mm removed from behind the battery of the standard chassis. This is said to improve turning ability on both carpet or dirt high-grip surfaces. Also in the release are universal joint rear driveshafts which allow the suspension move more smoothly compare to the kit standard CVA drive shafts. The standard 67mm CVA bones have also been updated. While the standard may come out of the outdrive depending on the position of the inner hinge pin, the new 68mm CVA helps expand the range of suspension setup. Additionally the Japanese manufacturer has added a range of new 2.5mm shock pistons.
