Kurzbuch wins ENS season opener

Mugen Seiki’s Simon Kurzbuch opened the latest season of the Euro Nitro Series with maximum points, the former World Champion winning the 1:8 category from the TQ position. The first of the four round championship took drivers to the Ettlingen track in Germany where qualifying would see both Kurzbuch and the Capricorn of reigning ENS Champion Toni Gruber post two TQ runs each over the four qualifiers. On tie-break it was 2023 World Championship Top Qualifier Kurzbuch who lined up on pole for the 45-minute final ahead of Gruber with the Infinity of Teemu Leino P3. Able to establish an early gap over his rivals, Kurzbuch would cruise to victory by over a lap from Leino, Gruber having retired from the race just after half way distance. Bumping up from the B-Main to line up 11th on the grid, 1:8 Onroad legend Lamberto Collari would work his way through the field to complete the podium for Infinity. In 1:10, Melvin Diekmann got his title defence off to the perfect start taking his Capricorn to the TQ & win ahead of the Infinity of former Champion Jilles Groskamp with France’s Quentin Leroux taking the final step on the podium.

Agama N110 1:10 2WD Buggy

Agama has officially released images and details of its first foray into 1:10 Offroad with the release of the N110 1:10 2WD Buggy. Set to be available in the fourth quarter of 2024. After years of design and development, including building on the success of its bigger brother – the Agama N1 1:8 platform, that revolutionary design is finally realised in the 1:10 market. Its unique suspension creates an incredibly low centre of gravity race car, while their engineering teams experience has pushed to ensure that not only is it fast, but it’s the easiest car to work on in its class, just like its big brother. Lower COG makes the N110 more consistent to drive while being able to hold higher corner speeds. With the N110, Agama introduce RAD, its Rapid Access Diff gearbox for easy and quick diff removal at the rear of the buggy. The number of parts you need to remove for easy maintenance is reduced, allowing you to spend less time wrenching and more time racing. High grade metal and plastic parts are found throughout the kit, making sure your car is not only fast, but durable too. A Linear Rail Steering System removes all the traditional steering system, replacing it with the lowest, cleanest play-free solution creating a feel while driving that is so smooth in the curve.

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.
