Muchmore Fleta ZX V2 6.5T Type-R 1/12th scale motor

Muchmore Racing are busy adding more variants of the new Fleta ZX V2 motor to their portfolio with the latest outcome being the 1S optimised 6.5T Type-R for 1/12th scale pan cars. Making use of the same teardown as the previous modified variants, the Type-R is specially tuned for 1-cell applications such as 1/12th scale modified classes thanks to a specific stator and rotor combination, resulting in smooth and controllable acceleration.

Soren Boy Holst wins at Danish EP On-road Nats Rd3

The third round of the Danish Electric On-road Nationals was held at the Glostrup Racing Club in difficult weather conditions. Saturday’s practice sessions were interrupted by the unavoidable rain but thankfully the track is known to dry up pretty fast and so a reasonable amount of runs could be completed. Sunday started off dry but the qualifiers again had their wet moments and in the end it was Xray driver Kevin Nielsen who made the best out of the conditions, taking the TQ from Xray teammate Patrick Danielsen and VBC Racing’s Soren Boy Holst.

BRCA 1/8th Circuit Nationals Rd6 – Report

The weather forecast for round 6 of the BRCA 1/8th Circuit Nationals was mainly showers although nearly fifty drivers across the two classes made the trip to Wombwell, near Barnsley. The circuit is likened by many for its combination of high speed straight which utilises the karting circuit and then a medium speed infield with undulations making it very testing. On arrival, the track was damp on Saturday morning which saw many of the electric class runners preparing their wet cars as the forecast was indifferent for the whole weekend. By midday the track was dry. In the electric class, it was Alex Thurston and Adam Catchpole setting the pace with Pete Hastings and Dan Jones not too far behind them. With 17 entrants and times being so close, a place in the A-final would be tight for some. In the Nitro class, Andy Hastings was out to make up for his Halifax poor showing but the man on form, David Spashett, was again going to be the man to beat. Quick as ever were Tim Wood, Neal King and Mark Green, running the new Serpent chassis.
