DE Racing Speedway Mud Plugs

DE Racing have introduced the new Speedway Mud Plugs. The mud plug discs simply snap-in to DE Racing’s Speedway series of wheels and they not only help with keeping heavy mud out, but their flat surface offers a billboard to display personal styling flair with some optional cut or printed vinyl. They are a clever solution to the problem of mud packing into the outer side of a wheel that perfectly emulates those found in full scale racing and the discs are easily removed by depressing a tab on the inside of the wheel with just one finger. The mud plugs come in sets of four and they are available now.

Axon matte finish alloy screws & Core MV ball diff grease

Coming from Axon are new matte finish aluminium screws as well as a medium viscosity ball differential grease. Starting with the fasteners, the aluminium bolts are made from aircraft-grade material and their matte surface will grip better into the carbon fibre material of chassis, top decks and shock towers which will lead to a more natural flex of all parts compared to using polished-finish screws. The 3mm button head screws are available in 6mm, 8mm and 10mm specification while the flat head variant comes in 6mm and 8mm length. All are available as 4-piece or 10-piece packs.

Cody King wins at DTR Track Challenge Rd2

This past weekend round 2 of the DTR Track Challenge was held at Dialed in RC Raceway in Victorville, California. Qualifying did not go the way Cody King wanted it to, so he would start 4th on the grid. At the start of the 20 minute final Cody would get past 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the first corner. He saw that as his chance to push it and get away and that’s what he did as the HB Racing driver got about a 15-second lead that he would hold onto the entire race to take the win in the Expert Buggy class from Mugen’s Adam Drake and Kyosho’s Anthony Westergaard.
