Round 4 of the popular Hessencup was held at the RC Offroad Kassel club last weekend. The event kicked off on Saturday with four rounds of practice and two qualifying rounds on a superbly prepped track. On Sunday rain was predicted and so the final qualifier was held in a light drizzle that became more and more intense. Ultimately the race was stopped and the track covered. When the rain stopped the race would go on as planned and the finals would be held in good track conditions with Alexander Braches taking the win in the Expert Nitro Buggy class in front of Christian Braches as Vanessa Wende took the final podium spot.

Coming from SMJ are three new body mounting hole patches for 8mm body posts as used by 1/8th IC Track and GT cars. First up are standard thickness patches that are ideal to reinforce the body post hole area on new and used shells. The patches also work as a protection for the paint in this area. Next up are thin-type 0.3mm thick patches that are best used with lightweight body shells. Due to their thin appearance they also wrap around body curves very well. Last but not least comes a set of 1mm and 1.5mm rubber spacers that help to fine-tune body height while also offering protection against rattling. The set includes four of each thickness.

JConcepts have introduced their new Sprinter 2.2” buggy tyres that were designed to bridge a gap between the popular Double Dees and other pin tyre options from JConcepts. The tread features square, angled pins that are stacked vertically to flex and fold evenly across the tyre. Typically, a stacked tread will wear less and provide more forward bite while the aligned space helps rotation in the turns and gives a snappy release to square up quickly. Starting with the new tread, the team focused on durability and performance to bring a rear tyre option to market that competes on loose surfaces which are wet or dusty. With the popularity of dirt-oval racing, vehicles being designed with either mid-motor or laydown transmission options, a new generation pin style, carcass and outer tread design was needed.
