Serpent 811 Cobra Buggy 2.0 buggy

Serpent introduce the S811 Cobra 2.0, the evolution of the successful cobra platform. The buggy incorporates many subtile changes to make for more steering and a more responsive rear end. This was achieved by a wider rear end with a new geometry, more rear traction and a wider sweet spot. The updated rear shocks with longer piston rod and longer shock bodies moved to the rear of the wishbones and are protected by new lexan dirt shields. Also included in the kit is the Avenger cab forward body, four white colour disc wheels as well as larger bearings in the steering blocks, rear uprights and transmission as seen in the previous TE version.

DE Racing Borrego SC wheels

DE Racing is proud to introduce the first true dish wheel for the Short Course market. Modeled after DE Racing’s 1/10 buggy line, the Borrego wheels feature the realistic scale appearance of a beadlock wheel with mud cover. They were also designed for use with optional sticker disks to give a new level of color customizing. The stronger wheel is designed from the ground up for the rigours of Short Course racing. Thicker wall sections, deeper support ribs, tighter/stronger hexes, and a dish face protected by a simulated beadlock ring make these wheels strong yet light of weight. Available as +3mm offset SC10 as well as Losi and Kyosho Ultima wheel they will soon also come in silver, white and yellow colour.

Victor Pelaez Olivares wins Spanish GP nats Rd4

The fourth and final round of the Spanish nitro on-road nationals took place in Parla. The championship would be decided between Jonnhy Pastor and Victor Pelaez Olivares. Both drivers had to skip Friday’s practice meaning they only had two hours of practice on Saturday morning. Victor Pelaez quickly proofed to be the fastest driver on the track but come the qualifiers both Victor and Jonnhy struggled and at the end it was Iñaki Pahissa who took TQ followed by Victor. Going into the finals it was clear that all drivers needed a good tyre management to make the 30 minutes final without tyre changes. As the A final started Iñaki and Victor were able to hold their positions and after dropping down to fourth place Victor shifted into second gear and took the lead after a couple of fast laps. He was able to control the pace in order to save tyres and while other drivers started to struggle with the black gold Victor (Serpent) cruised to victory with Iñaki Pahissa (Xray) in second and Rodri Pahissa Lopez (Serpent) in third position.
