Xceed rim reamer & 3-in-1 tool

Xceed have two new tools available in the form of a rim reamer for 1/8th on-road wheels as well as a 3-in-1 turnbuckle and ball cup wrench. Starting with the reamer, the tool is designed to slightly widen the wheel axle hole of 1/8th on-road wheels to make for a better fitment on the wheel axle and thus faster and more easy pitstops. The tool is made from high-quality springsteel and green anodised aluminium. Also new is the ball cup remover and turnbuckle wrench. Designed for the use with small ball cups as well as 3mm and 4mm turnbuckles the tool helps to easily pop-off ball cups from the ball joints while the stepped design of the turnbuckle portion does away with the need to carry different size tools. The wrench is made from laser-etched high-quality spring steel.

Ratheisky & Wohlgemuth win at German EP nats

Ratheisky & Wohlgemuth win German EP onroad nats

The German 1/10th Electric On-road Nationals and German Formula Masters were held at the Hamm track this past weekend. The event started out in good weather conditions but overnight rain on Sunday brought things to a halt. After four rounds of qualifying had been run on Saturday it was decided to skip the fifth and final qualifier on main’s day and to go straight into the finals. The drivers of the supporting Formula class decided to skip the mains anyway so Top Qualifier Jan Ratheisky was able to grab the German Formula Masters title without turning a wheel in the finals. David Ehrbar came in 2nd while Jan Bohlen rounded out the top 3. The finals of the Touring Car Stock class were run in pretty severe track conditions and they had Daniel Wohlgemuth coming out successful from Jan Ratheisky and Caspar Nückel.
