Myron Kinnard wins at ROAR Region 5 Carpet Champs

The city of Cincy, Ohio played host to the ROAR Region 5 Carpet Championship recently. The race was held in several electric on-road classes and after Friday’s practice, Saturday morning brought on the three rounds of qualifying that would result in Myron “Battman” Kinnard (Team Associated) holding two of the three classes’ TQ at the end of the day. As Sunday rolled around the drivers were given a last-chance qualifier before the mains. Battman held on to his TQ in VTA from Mike Collins (Team Associated) 2nd and Jeff Mobley (Awesomatix) in 3rd. For the single 8-minute A-main, the grid was set and the tone was rung, and racers were laying down their fastest laps of the weekend. By the time the tone rang, Myron took 1st place in front of Mike 2nd, a lap down, and Jeff 3rd, another lap down.

2020 Nuremberg Toy Fair – Tamiya

The 2020 Nuremberg International Toy Fair kicked off today. Formerly known as the most important fair when it comes to everything toys and radio control, this importance has took some knocks during the last decade down to a situation that only a handful of big players are daring the annual trip to Germany’s “toy city” to present their forthcoming new products. One of them however is Tamiya who show some nice new kits – but nothing really race-worthy to be frank. Certainly a crowdpleaser is the forthcoming GF-01CB Comical Avante buggy, the latest addition to Tamiya’s popular Comical buggy line-up.
