Yeah Racing TT-02 aluminium drivetrain options

Yeah Racing introduce two new option parts for Tamiya’s TT-02 entry-level 4WD touring car in the form of a main drive shaft and drive shaft joints. Starting with the main shaft, the part is CNC-machined from high quality aluminium and much stiffer than the stock part, making for a more efficient power transfer. Also new are suitable aluminium main drive shaft joints. They replace the kit parts with a much stronger solution for improved efficiency and added rigidity plus they come with an optional O-ring that is meant to provide a more aggressive steering feeling. Both the drive shaft and the joints come in blue colour.

Luca Redaelli takes European 1/10th 'B' title

The EFRA European 1/10th 200mm ‘B’ championships were hosted by the beautiful Gubbio track in Italy this week. Qualifying on this fast track would go the way of Italian Xray/IDM driver Luca Redaelli ahead of the German pairing of Dominik Greiner in 2nd and Simon Balk in 3rd driving Serpent and Xray respectively, with Davide Gallesi in 4th driving for Capricorn. With no driver guaranteed a place in the main final it was the semi finals which would decide the starting order. Italian Alessio Forte, the 10th placed qualifier, would end up taking the pole position for the final with top qualifier Redaelli lining up in 2nd. In the 45 minute final Forte would hit problems and retire at 24 minutes leaving Redaelli to take the win, closely follow home by Greiner in 2nd, 3 seconds separating the pair, with Simon Balk completing the podium one and a half laps back in 3rd.
