Victory for Max Kuenning at 2020 Halloween Classic

The Halloween Classic 2020, hosted by NORCAR at the Gate in Brunswick, Ohio, was the kickoff event to the 2020 carpet season. Limited to a total of 40 drivers due to local state guidelines, the race was sold out with RC racers eager to get out and start racing after many months of quarantine. The track is a permanent CRC Black Carpet track with a subfloor underneath it for a super smooth racing surface while the layout was technical and had high traction. Factory RC America/Xray team driver Max Kuenning was able to reset TQ in every qualifier of the stock class with the all new X12’21. In the final he was able to lead from tone to tone to bring home the win ahead of fellow Xray driver Fabio Evangelista in 2nd and John Dickson (Awesomatix) in 3rd.

JConcepts B74 aluminium clamping servo horn

Similar in concept and structure to the JConcepts clamping servo horns released yesterday, these new versions are specifically for the Associated B74. A clamping style servo horn, it is great for high-torque situations providing additional security and relieving some load to the servo splines themselves. The broad base of the horn tapers to the connection area where the steering takes place. The boss on the top surrounds the ball-end and provides a hefty surface for steering direction. Small ribs have been added on the sides to help strengthen the unit in a twisting fashion and a deep pocket hides the 3mm standard mounting screw. The entire horn has been retouched with chamfer highlight edging and laser etched with JC and the tooth count for high-end looks and authenticity.
