Kaja Novotny doubles at Czech Open Challenge Rd1

The opening round of the Czech Open Challenge electric indoor series was held in Ruzyne. The purpose-built track features a fairly easy layout that promised closes racing, however the pretty old carpet only offered low traction, making for a completely different feeling compared to today’s form of indoor racing. The 2WD class was quite a challenge for everyone due to the low traction, the linoleum parts, high speed corners and huge jumps. Marcel Dostal (Xray) was on point in Q1, but eventually Kaja Novotny (Xray) managed to snatch the TQ in that run. Optimising his buggy’s setup Kaja would also take the remaining rounds and also in the finals Kaja would pull away to take the overall while Marcel Dostal and Michal Blahovsky (Xray) battled it out for the overall with the better end for Marcel while Michal had to settle for 3rd.

Vision Racing TLR 22 4.0 rear shock tower & shock pistons

Coming from Vision Racing are a new carbon fibre rear shock tower and shock pistons for the TLR 22 4.0 buggy. The shock tower, that is designed for the use with the laydown transmission, is made of 5mm carbon fibre and it incorporates micro tune shock positioning by adding two in between holes to the standard positions of the stock shock tower. The needed mount is made of 7075 aluminium and is anodised black. The two raised portions on the base allow clearance of the transmission case when mounting a rear swaybar kit. On today’s extreme traction tracks less suspension flex is a must. This combo will deliver a more consistent driving car while also improving jumping.
