Round four of the Swedish Summer Cup was held at the Västerort astro turf track in superb weather conditions. In the 2WD class the Team Associated duo of Niclas Mansson and Mattias Fransson came in 1st and 2nd after the qualifiers with young Elias Johansson (Serpent) rounding out the top 3. The opening A-main then saw a battle of the top 3 with Niclas and Mattias ending the leg separated by only around half a second. Elias came in 3rd some four seconds down. In the second A-main Elias pushed a bit more and he even was in the lead for some time but he had to make way foe Mattias Fransson while leg one winner Niclas only came in fourth place. The third and decisive main was a pretty entertaining affair with some changes up front and it was ultimately Niclas Mansson who took the win and with it the overall victory. Elias came in 2nd to seal an overall third place while Mattias’ fourth place handed him the runner-up spot.

New from Exotek and made for the HB D413 1/10th scale 4WD off-road buggy are 10 degree C-hubs, 12mm front locking alloy hexes and high tolerance flanged bushings. Starting with the castor hubs, the heavy duty 7075 aluminium and precision machined parts weigh it at only 5.5 grams per piece and they are much stronger and stiffer than the stock plastic hubs, for optimum suspension action and reduced play. They come polished and anodised in factory orange. The hubs match the stock geometry and accommodate a, not included, set screw for the hinge pin.

JConcepts have a range of new front and rear wing for the Team Associated B5 series of buggies available. First up is the 6.5″ Finnisher rear wing for B5M buggies. The wing features a high-attack design with trimable rear gurney options and it offers a radical, edgy design which functions and compliments the Finnisher and Silencer body design. The wing mounts low on the vehicle allowing for a lower centre of gravity which is important in high-grip conditions. The lightweight wing features reinforcement ribs to increase lateral stiffness throughout the centre while the hi-clearance areas built into the side-dams allow for rear tyre movement and growth. Cut lines are included for easy trimming while wing mount dimples are included for a drop-fit onto the popular B5M vehicle.
