Paolo Morganti takes ROAR 200mm Sedan title

Last weekend’s 2019 ROAR Nitro On-Road Nationals, held at the One Eighth Racers of Toledo, saw Serpent’s Ralph Burch taking the overall TQ in the 200mm Sedan class, however it was Paolo Morganti (Capricorn) who would be crowned National Champion after the 30-minute A-main final. Qualifying in 2nd Paolo would bring home the win after battling with Ralph for the lead for a good part of the race. The latter would score an unfortunate DNF after about 23 minutes, allowing Paolo to take the lead and bring home the win a lap in front of Shepherd’s Ted Hammer as Serpent’s Jeremiah Ward came in 3rd, some 15 seconds behind Ted.

Exotek RB7 alloy front camber mount & wing stays

Exotek have introduced new aluminium optionals for the Kyosho RB7 and RB6 series of 2WD buggies in the form of an aluminium front camber mount and aluminium rear wing stays. Starting with the front camber link mount, the heavy duty 7075 aluminium construction front bulkhead is of an updated design to accept the RB7 front roll bar and finished with Exotek’s 2-colour black with red chamfer anodising to give any RB7 that extra special factory look. The 1-piece design eliminates the two plastic steering post spacers and includes two M3 set screws to hold in the steering posts for a snug fit. The part is intricately machined to reduce its weight to only 12.4g while insuring its heavy duty construction.

RDRP B74 Slipper Eliminator

Ruddog Distribution have announced the release of the new RDRP Slipper Eliminator for the Team Associated B74 4WD buggy. The direct spur gear hub is the ultimate option part for all stock racers as it greatly lowers not only the drivetrain’s rotation masses but also the buggy’s overall weight, making for blistering fast acceleration, lower motor temperatures and thus more power towards the end of the run. The slipper eliminator weighs in at about 17.4g including the supplied ultra lightweight 72T main gear, scrubbing about 50 percent of weight compared to the original slipper assembly it is replacing. Due to its lightweight design the slipper eliminator is best used with motors of more than 10.5T as it will not withstand the power of modified motors.
