Team Bomber AK12 Quick Battery Holder Set

Japanese 1:12 specialists Team Bomber has released this optional Quick Battery Holder Set for its AK12 series 1:12 chassis. It was developed to improve the disadvantages of standard tape-fixed battery installations, such as the hassle of replacing the tape and the possibility of the tape breaking due to interference with the road surface, causing the battery to move. Removing the battery from the quick battery holder set is really easy. First, remove the centr eshock, loosen the two screws that secure the battery holding plate, and remove the plate to quickly access the battery. In addition, battery positioning, which has been ambiguous until now, can be done reliably by replacing the included 3D battery plate, which is also useful for quantifying settings.

Hamon is 2024 NSW State Champion

Jeff Hamon is the 2024 NSW State Champion, the factory Serpent driver defending his title with the perfect trio of the TQ, Fastest Lap and Win. Racing at the 2023 IFMAR 1:8 GT World Championship host track in Moorebank near Sydney, this year’s State titles attracted a huge field of entrants making for a great atmosphere. Unfortunately some delays meant qualifying had to be cut short and run under some questionable conditions. Running four rounds, Hamon’s Serpent X20 ‘24 would secure the TQ on tie break from the Infinity of Brayden Stanley, also with two TQ runs, with Yokomo’s Simon Nicholson qualifying P3. A mistake from Hamon in A1 would see Stanley with the win while a number of unfortunate incidents in A2 would see Hamon pull off and save tyres for A3 which he duly lead tone to tone for the overall win. Winner of A2, the Awesomatix of Jeffrey Mackie finished second with Stanley completing the podium ahead of Nicholson.
