DAS Speed 1:28 Modular Racing Rims

Swiss 1:28 specialists DAS Speed has released Modular Racing Rims that allow you to change your offset but keep your same tyre. With the tag line ‘Test the Offset – Not another Tyre’, each modular rims consisting of a 3-screw connection, an Anti-traction Roll Disc Assembled, a Molded Rim, a 0.5 mm tuning shim, and interchangeable hub. The DAS rims have been designed around the tyre with the rim compound having been purposefully selected for its excellent adhesion with CA glue, helping create a strong and reliable bond between the tyre and rim. From their testing and experience with molded 1:28 racing rims, this is the most concentric molded rim they have experienced to date – providing an exceptionally true and consistent foundation for the tyre. Integrated glue channels help CA flow and distribute across the tyre-to-rim contact surface. Three access openings on the inside of the rim allow the glue tip to reach deeper toward the centre of the tyre, helping achieve more complete and consistent adhesion across the full width of the tyre.

Another reigning World Champ for Singapore Nitro GP as Coelho confirmed

The Singapore International Nitro GP will celebrate its 20th Anniversary in style with the announcement of its 3rd reigning World Champion as Bruno Coelho is confirmed for the October 10-11 event. The 3-time back to back IFMAR 1:10 Electric Touring Car World Champion made his SINGP last year, returning to his roots to race nitro onroad, the category in which the Portuguese star learned his trade before his break through moment at the 2014 ISTC Worlds in the USA. With Mugen Seiki’s 1:8 Onroad World Champion Shoki Takahata and Infinity’s newly crowned 1:10 Nitro Touring Car World Champion Naoto Matsukura already confirmed, Coelho might just need a few extra laps to settle into the newly resurfaced Radio Control Modellers’ Club’s track as he will come straight from having just raced for a week at the IFMAR 1:8 Nitro Buggy World Championship in Texas which gets underway in just a few days.
