The fifth round of the Czech Rebels Race series was held recently and it was Simon Horak who would sweep the Touring Stock qualifiers to take the overall TQ. Karel Kratochvíl was hot on Simon’s heels the whole day and in the opening A-main he would snatch the lead for a couple of moments following a mistake of Simon, however, the latter would regain the lead later on to take the win in A1. With flawless drives in the second and third A-main Simon would later seal the day’s win from Karel Kratochvíl as Ondřej Kohoutek rounded out an all-Xray podium.

Team EAM 1/12th pan car spool axle

Team EAM have introduced their new spool rear axle for 1/12th pan cars. A popular setup for very high bite “black” carpet tracks, the solid axle will make for improved traction due to getting rid of the standard ball differential that can slip when using low-wind motors. The purpose designed and constructed axle shaft features aluminium inserts, weighing in at 0.2g each, to keep the carbon from compressing while clamping down the hubs. Without these the hubs will come loose and fly off during a race and eventually drivers can also crush the axle while trying to keep the hubs tight. The axle is available in hollow or solid variants from now on.
