Hupo Hönigl wins Austrian buggy nats Rd4

The fourth round of the Austrian electric off-road nationals took place in Krieglach. 36 drivers in 2WD and 28 entries in 4WD tried to tackle the dusty clay track that got better during the practice heats but later on started to break up. Some drivers tried to race mid motor buggies in 2WD one of which was Team Durango’s Hupo Hönigl, but the tricky surface made the buggies difficult to drive and since these cars need a different racing line most of the drivers came back to rear motor machines for the qualifiers and finals. Sunday Morning started with four rounds of qualifying and when the dust settled the Team Durango duo of Hupo Hönigl and Martin Kreil lead in 2WD with equal points, but a faster time gave Hupo the TQ spot. 3rd and 4th went to the Team Associated duo Pinisch/Pfeifhofer, also equal in points with 3rd going to Peter Pinisch. In 4WD Hupo took 3 out of 4 rounds, taking the TQ in front of Yokomo’s René Trauner and Stefan Pfeifhofer (Team Associated) with Martin Kreil in 4th and Pinisch in 5th position.

Shepherd Velox V8 Pro conversion kit

Team Shepherd announce the release of the European Championship winning Velox V8 Pro conversion set. The kit contains all parts needed to upgrade the Velox V8 to the latest specifications as it was used by Jilles Groskamp and Daniel Sieber to win the Euros A and B. The new lower front arms are equipped with small uniballs for a stepless adjustment of the front anti-roll bar linkage while the CNC-machined aluminium bulkheads made of 7075-T6 aluminium sport a support for the ballraced wire-type anti-roll bar as well as plastic bushing for the one-way ball bearings. In addition the updated middle bearing block and the gear shaft bearing blocks are also equipped with plastic inserts for less vibrations and a smoother running of the ball bearings. The new hollow 8mm gearbox shaft reduces the rotating mass for improved acceleration and it features a much smaller 2-speed adapter and new aluminium adapters for the plastic pulleys. The set as well as the Velox V8 Pro kit are available now.

Avid 8th off-road wing buttons

New from Avid come aluminium wing buttons for 1/8th off-road buggies and trucks. They are CNC-machined from high quality aluminium and come with black or hard-anodised olive finish and are designed to make for secure and aerodynamic wing fitment. The serrated bottom prevents the button from twisting wing wraps causing the lamination to separate from the decal layer. The serrated teeth also grip the wing firmly so over-sized wing holes are less of an issue. The buttons come with 12mm button head screws and a mini decal sheet.
