Yugo Nagashima wins at 2014 Speed King Tour Rd2

Round number 2 of the 2014 Speed King Tour took place at the World Jam Racing indoor tarmac track in the Gunma prefecture in four electric touring car classes including Modified, Stock, JMRCA Stock and Local. In the premier class of TC Modified, last year’s champion Yugo Nagashima took the TQ in front of TRF driver Takayuki Kohno. Round 1 winner Akio Sobue held the third position after the qualifiers. Following a good start into the A main, Yugo’ car lost rear grip in the first turn but he recovered quickly and kept the lead. Yugo then dominated the final from start to finish with his Yokomo BD7-2014. Akio moved up to second after a mistake of Kohno while young local talent Toyoki Yamada finished third to complete the podium. In the championship Akio keeps his leading position, while Yugo suffers from having missed the first round due to heavy snow fall. The next round of the 2014 Speed King Tour will be held at the RC Stadium track on the 6th of April.

CSO Super-V3 flexible chassis conversion kit

CSO introduce the Super-V3 flexible chassis conversion kit for the CSO-One, Team C TC10 and the Xray T4 and T4’2104. The integral part of the kit is the redesigned motor and layshaft mount that now mounts directly on the centre line of the chassis resulting in more equal left-to-right chassis flex. The updated layshaft mount sports mounting holes to connect the upper deck with the mount which helps on very high grip surfaces. An additional upper deck post can be added on front of the motor, again located directly on the chassis’ centre line. It is understood that the conversion kit includes a new chassis and topdeck as well as the motor and layshaft mount along a set of aluminium centre pulleys.
