Reno Savoya sweeps Reims EMC race

The French Reims EMC club held an electric off-road race over the weekend at their indoor dirt track. The event had almost 100 entries and after four rounds of qualifying it was Reno Savoya who took the TQ in the 2WD Buggy class while local ace Romain Valter came out fastest in the 4WD qualifiers. The organisers ran four mains that were all very tight and entertaining and counting three out of four mains it was Reno who ultimately grabbed the overall wins in both classes.

Double delight for Tebo at Speed RC

Jared Tebo completed the buggy double at Speed RC in North Carolina as the track played host to the JConcepts Indoor National Series Finals for the first time. Winning 4WD with relative ease, sewing up the overall win in A2 earlier in the day, in 2WD it was to go down to the wire. With Rivkin taking an easy win in A1, in A2 things really hotted up with the pair clashing a number of times and it was Daimon Borkowicz came away with the win ahead of Tebo and Brent Thielke with Rivkin fourth. This set the stage for a three way showdown and while all three led the decider it was Tebo who was at the front at the finish-line to take the win. Finishing third behind Alex Kosciuszek in A3, Rivkin was less than impressed by the Kyosho ace’s driving. With Rivkin ending up second overall it was Thielke who completed the podium as Borkowicz struggled towards the end of the leg going from leading to finishing with a P6.

Tebo takes 4WD win at JConcepts Finals

Jared Tebo claimed the 4WD Buggy win at the JConcepts Indoor National Series, the Kyosho driver completing a perfect weekend when, like in qualifying he wrapped things up early, by securing the overall victory with another win in A2. Having dominated the opening A-Main, it looked like he was going to repeat the performance in the second of the three encounters but riding the curbing he rolled his ZX6.6 allowing Spencer Rivkin to the front. Rivkin however would make a carbon copy of Tebo’s mistake and with his Associated on its roof letting Tebo resume the lead where he would stay to the finish for the win. Going on to take A3, Rivkin would get second in North Carolina which was enough to secure him the overall JConcepts INS title. Daimon Borkowicz would complete the race podium on the series’ first visit to Speed RC.

Kaja Novotny successful at XRS Poland Rd2

The second round of the XRS Poland was held this past weekend in Lodz. In the opening 2WD and 4WD qualifiers, Xray’s Kaja Novotny would lead the way but two messed-up rounds meant that the decision for the overall TQs would be shifted to Sunday as Bartek Zambrzycky was hot on the heels of Kaja. On Sunday morning a leaking shock absorber of one of the competitors left the usually high grip carpet greasy as soap meaning the remaining qualifiers would be held in very difficult conditions. Especially the 2WD buggies were sliding a lot but some last-minute setup changes on Kaja’s buggy allowed him to snatch the overall TQ and also in the 4WD class the young man would excel on the unusually slippery track.

In the 2WD finals Milan continued to be on top, ending the day with a first overall win from Max in second and Zdenek Miksovsky (Xray) in third. In the 4WD finals Max wasn’t able to fend off Milan who took his second win of the day, making the 4WD results a blueprint of the 2WD class with Max in second and Zdenek in third.
