3DRC 30mm Fan Booster super short

3DRC’s popular 30mm Fan Booster is now also available in a super short variant. Designed for all electric touring cars with limited space behind the motor the super short variant also comes in handy when mounting the fan in front of the motor or when less weight is needed in the rear part of the chassis. Like the standard length variant the Fan Booster will channel the cooling air created by the fan towards the motor can for optimised cooling and less motor power fading during a run. The part is usable with most 30mm fans and it is available directly through 3DRC’s Shapeways store.

Coelho caps off ETS title winning weekend with record equalling 4th win

Bruno Coelho has capped off his Euro Touring Series title weekend in Slovakia with a record equaling fourth win of the season. The Xray driver joined Marc Rheinard as the only driver to win four races in a single season when he again cruised to A2 victory at the Hudy Arena to wrap up Round 5, the organisers to be complimented for completing the event after effectively losing two days of running due to rain. Able to sit out A3, Coelho’s win means he maintains his unbeaten run of victories at his team’s home track since making his ETS debut three seasons ago. Behind, team-mate Alexander Hagberg continued the 1-2 enjoyed by Xray as he won A3 after seeing off a rejuvenated Naoto Matsukura, the former World Champion claiming his first ever ETS podium finish.

Anders Mikkelsen wins Norwegian National Cup Rd2

The second round of the Norwegian Nitro Touring series was hosted by the Lorenskog RC Club just outside of Oslo. Anders Mikkelsen had a perfect day, taking the TQ, A-main win and the fastest lap of the event. The main final had four short periods with some rain, making the track slippery and the driving conditions very challenging which lead to many position mix-ups but in the end Anders managed to get back into the lead and brought home the win with Andre Røine in 2nd and Hans Nikolaisen in 3rd place.

David Ehrbar signs with Arrowmax

Arrowmax have announced the signing of Serpent designer, David Ehrbar to their team. The German will be using the full line of Arrowmax tools, accessories and LiPo batteries and he will also be responsible for testing future Arrowmax products. David had the following to say:

The stylish and practical Arrowmax tools are well known within the industry. These tools are exceptional light, and use very tough tool tips. So they are perfect to keep the weight of the racing luggage low, and even more important they are perfect to work on the car. At the same time they are very stylish and using the whole Arrowmax line of tools makes your pit space look very exclusive. I consider it as a logical step to use the Arrowmax tools. But as a racer it was almost more important for me to make the step to the Arrowmax LiPos. Slightly less known in the market, these high quality LiPos with their high power and high discharge rate (up to 130C) will be a good help for me to fight for the top positions in the F1 class, and at the same time deliver the reliable and constant power for my racing and testing in the touring car modified class. I will work closely together with the factory to test and work on future products. I am proud to be a part of this ambitious team.
