Jarno Pijpers successful at Dutch Buggy Cup Rd5

The recent fifth round of the Dutch Buggy Cup saw an early end due to heavy rain pouring down on race day. The weekend started off with nice weather on Saturday but rain on Sunday only allowed for two qualification rounds until the organisers had to call it a day. This meant the results of the qualifiers had to be taken to announce the winner and so the victory went to Jarno Pijpers (Xray/FX) form Anno Storm (JQ/O.S.) and Kevin Cornelis (Xray/FX).

Tekno NB48.3 1/8th nitro buggy kit

Tekno has given its NB48 1/8th nitro off-road buggy a revision and now rolls out the NB48.3 that is meant to be faster, nimbler, and easier to drive. Sharing many parts with the recently introduced EB48.3 electric buggy the nitro kit includes a redesigned suspension package for improved big jump landings, small bump handling and consistency by utilising longer shock absorbers with new shock pistons as well as including revised A-arms and shock towers with updated shock positions. The chassis has evolved as well as by offering the forward engine position only and by optimising the flex characteristics of the front engine layout.
