Neil Cragg wins 2WD class at Bradby Cup

This past weekend the Robin Hood Raceway played host for the Bradby Cup, in honour of the late Derek Bradby. It was a very cool formatted race run by Paul Bradby with four rounds of qualifying and all 4 rounds counting followed by bump up finals. It’s a format Derek always wanted to try and it made for some great racing. In the 2WD class Neil Cragg (Team Associated) finished just in front of Lee Martin (Yokomo) with local hero Ben “Jemmo” Jemison (Schumacher) coming in 3rd.

Tailor-made for the Team Associated T5M stadium truck is Pro-Line’s latest Bulldog bodyshell. Resembling the one that came in the T5M kit box the body features two Mohawks down the centre of the roof for improved high-speed stability and to add an aggressive look. The front and rear end geometry have also been reshaped from the original Bulldog and improved to achieve higher front downforce and reduce wheelies that cost precious time.

Pro-Line Enforcer truggy bodyshells

Pro-Line introduce the Enforcer bodyshell for 1/8th nitro truggies. From the mind of Ty Tessmann and inspired from the Type-R buggy body, the Enforcer has a meaner and more angular front end look with swooping roof and bed sections for improved airflow and high-speed stability. The hood of the body is steeper to create more down force over the front wheels for more steering and faster lap times. The body is available in three different variants for the HB D8T Tessmann Edition, the Mugen MBX-7T and the TLR 8ight-T 3.0 and it comes clear, including window masks and decal sheets.
