Coming from T-Works and made for the Kyosho MP9 TKI3 and TKI4 kits is a connector style on/off switch. The assembly consists of a machined carbon fibre plate that attached right to the receiver box while a jumper wire replaces the standard power switch for a more durable and reliable design that is less sensitive to dust, dirt, moisture and vibrations. The “switch” comes pre-wired with universal-type male and female connectors and it is available now.
The Autumn Cup was Robin Hood Raceway and YORCC club’s final outdoor race event of this year’s off-road season and it was held last weekend. 2WD Buggy qualifying was a showdown between Edward Callan and Ben Smith with each driver taking two rounds a piece. Coming down to countback on the fastest time, Edward missed out by just 0.1 second. In a change from the normal, traditional five minutes, the finals were run over six. Managing to get past Ben on the first lap due to a small mistake, Ed stayed out in front despite pressure from Ben to win and secure the Autumn Cup 2WD class.

The Montpellier track in Southern France played host to an open Pro10 race last weekend with local drivers and guests from Spain in appearance. In the Modified class it was reigning Spanish Champion, Marc Valero who set the benchmark during practice and qualification, smashing the current track record by 0.5s to a 17.481s.
