Reedy 6000mAh 70C 2S competition LiPo battery

Reedy’s new 6000mAh 70C competition LiPo battery is intended primarily for touring cars where capacity can be sacrificed in exchange for lighter weight and increased power output. Lighter weight allows for greater flexibility when adjusting weight distribution while maintaining the correct minimum overall weight. The pack offers increased power output thanks to a high average discharge voltage and low internal resistance which makes the battery interesting for Stock racers while Modified racers will enjoy the added power as well. The battery meets ROAR, EFRA, BRCA and IFMAR specs and it comes with 4mm socket connectors to keep the power-robbing resistance to a minimum.

Ride Cup Championship Series Malaysia Rd1 – Report

The opening round of the Malaysia Edition Ride Cup Championship Series was held at the RC Park in Shah Alam, 30 minutes away from Kuala Lumpur. Organised by Ride Malaysia the event attracted nearly 100 drivers for the four classes of Touring 13.5T Boosted, Touring 13.5T Blinky, M-Chassis 13.5T Blinky and Formula 17.5T Blinky. With 112 entries this was one of the biggest EP events on Malaysian soil this year. The fastest class of the event, Touring 13.5T Boosted, attracted many drivers normally found driving Modified classes and right from the start the fight was on between Norazam and Wong KokWai who would be fighting for the TQ position with Asmad and Raphael from East Malaysia being in the mix too. Ultimately Norazam would grab the TQ from Wong KokWai with the only 22 laps run, although Wong KokWai was less than 1 second away from achieving the same number of laps. The remainder of the field was also a tight battle, with the top 15 positions all managing 21 lap runs, with 3rd to 10th place finishing within 6 seconds.

Austrian Electric On-road Nationals Rd2 – Report

The second round of the Austrian Electric On-road Nationals was held at the countryside track of the SFMAV near Salzburg. Overall 40 racers attended this round in the classes of Touring Car Modified, Touring Car Stock and Formula. With the beginning of the qualification heats rain started to fall, but with an one hour delay the qualifiers were started and beside one short interruption the race would go ahead as planned. In Touring Car Modified Dominic Vogl was the man to beat. Again he and his Yokomo performed impressively. As in the first round Dominic had some issues in the qualification heats, but he finally took the TQ with the fastest heat and fastest lap of the race as Dominic was the one and only driver in Modified who was able to go 20 laps. Mario Sowka would line up in 2nd, followed by Christoph Ramsauer and Toni Eder. In the finals Dominic was unbeatable and he made a clean sweep in A1 and A2. Mario won the A3 and therefore he got the overall runner up spot followed by Toni, both running on Serpent.

Serpent 977 Aero Bumper set

Coming from the mind of Serpent’s Merlin Depta is the new Aero Bumper for the Serpent 977 and 966. Featuring click-type inserts for the outer segments the bumper allows for swift and easy aerodynamic tuning by running with or without the inserts. Generally running an “open” bumper without inserts gives better steering especially in high-speed corners. The set includes the bumper and two inserts with the latter also being available separately.
