Hobbywing have introduced the new XeRun XR10 Justock brushless speed controller and Justock 3650 sensored brushless motor. Starting with the controller, the device was especially designed with zero timing/boost racing in mind. Featuring an aluminium upper case with built-in heatsink and making use of internal heat-conductive copper plates the controller stays cool even in high ambient temperatures and in demanding racing conditions. The small footprint allows the controller to be used in a range of classes including touring cars, 1/12th and formula cars and the single-button setup helps to fine-tune the software settings. As usual the controller’s firmware can be updated using the Hobbywing USB Link software and the LCD Program box.

Round 2 of the Swedish National 1/10th Buggy Series was held at the Skarpnäck astroturf track just outside of Stockholm. The 2WD class was run on Saturday and just in time for the practice heats rain started to fall. The organisers decided to postpone the start and thus only two 7-minute heats of practice would be held on a still wet track. After the four qualifiers local driver Niclas Mansson (Team Associated) took the TQ from young Malin Karlsen (Xray). In the triple A-mains Niclas would win A1 and A2 to grab the overall win early while Malin took the win in A3 to snatch the runner-up spot. Wilhelm Skjoldebrand (Team Associated) rounded out the top 3 result.

New from Pro-Line comes the LockDown XTR tyre for large scale models such as the Losi 5ive-T. Just like the 1/8th buggy race tyre, the LockDown has a more open tread pattern than the Blockade making it perfect for loose conditions. The tyre also features connected side tread technology that reduces the edginess of the truck to prevent catching a rut and flipping. The inside contains detailed webbing that strengthens the tire carcass and prevents excessive tire expansion. The tyre is moulded from durable XTR rubber and it works with HPI 5T rear and Losi 5ive-T front or rear foams.
