Muchmore Impact Linear LCG 5200mAh 4S LiPo battery

Coming from Muchmore is the new Impact Linear LCG FD2 5200mAh 14.8V LiPo battery pack. Offering a reduced height of 36mm the 4S pack is build from high-performance 110C cells for high power output in demanding racing conditions. The lower height compared to standard 4S packs makes for an overall lower centre of gravity, resulting in faster cornering of both off-road and on-road cars. The pack comes pre-wired with 10AWG wire, a T-type plug and an XH balancer connector.

Pro-Line adds realism with concrete 1:10 K-Rail

Pro-Line have introduced the True Scale concrete 1/10th K-Rail. Adding realism to any scale scene the K-Rails are good for the use as chicanes for off-road racing, race borders and obstacles for drifting, start and finish line borders for rock racing and rock crawling events, scale construction scene objects and borders, scale freeway dividers, or as a great way to display scale RC models. These K-rails will add an instant sense of scale dimension to any application. As a true-scale representation of the full size K-Rails they are made of real concrete and reinforced with steel rebar. They are easily paintable to fit right into any scene, be it stark white with high visibility for a race or construction scene, or to take it underground by adding street art or graffiti.

The 8th Annual Ready to Run Raceway Summer Challenge Trophy Race and Enduro was hosted by the Ready to Run Raceway club in scenic Vancouver, Canada. The track was just five minutes away from the Vancouver International Airport making it very accessible out of town participants looking for fun, close and exciting racing.

Essex Winter Series 2016/17 – Announcement

The organisers of the Essex Winter Series have announced details of their 2016/17 championship. The series, now in its sixth year, is recognised as one of the most popular on-road championships not only in the UK, but across Europe too. Following a successful fifth season, the organisers have made a few tweaks and changes to the programme and rules. The series will continue to feature classes for Modified and Super Stock (13.5 Blinky/Zero Timing) Touring Cars. The first major change will see the series now utilising controlled tyres from Sweep Racing. The tyres will be specific to EWS, and feature the EWS logo on the wheel and they will be available very soon, in the UK via CML Distribution. The organisers will also be investing in new carpet, switching to the popular “ETS” style carpet and with it the track expands to a massive 24×34 metres, one of the largest carpet tracks in the world. The series will consist of five rounds again, and be concluded with the EWS International, previously known as the International Carpet Challenge, which will take place after the end of the regular championship. Entries for the series open on 1st September 2016, and the series is expected to fill up quickly. More details and all dates can be found on the series’ website here and also on Facebook here.
