Coming from Xtreme Aerodynamics is their latest 1/10th 200mm body shell, the Avenge. The FEMCA and ROAR approved body features a more traditional design compared to Xtreme Aerodynamics’ Revenge body and it was developed with optimised car balance in mind while offering efficient aerodynamics and good cornering speed.
Coming from Axon are their new 0.05 increment World Spec HLS electric touring car shock springs.

Coming from Capricorn and made for the C803 on-road car are the +1mm shock bodies and shock shafts. Adding a millimetre of length to both the bodies and shafts will allow the shock piston to sit at an optimised position within the shock body which results in improved forward traction and bump handling. The bodies come anodised black for wear and looks while the shock shafts received a TiNi coating for improved wear and reduced friction.

Coming from Samix and made for the Axial SCX10 II trail truck are brass driveshaft caps. Weighing in at 21g for a set of four, the caps add weight to the lower part of the chassis for improved climb performance with the black and golden finish also adding visual impact. The parts are a direct replacement for the plastic caps of the standard SCX10 II kit and they come in sets of four.
The final round of the Finnish Open Electric Buggy Championship was held at the Lavanko Raceway. The event started on a moist track and it was Ari Koski who made the best out of the conditions with Sami Soukas coming in 2nd after the practice rounds. In time for the qualifiers the track had dried up but it was left pretty slippery. The finals then were a pretty tight affair between Joonas Hyvärinen, Aleksi Wilkman and Sami Suokas. After the triple mains Joonas took the win from Aleksi 2nd while Sami came in 3rd just one point behind the winner. Nevertheless the 3rd place was enough for Sami to take the overall championship just one point ahead of Ari Koski. Ilari Lamminsivu rounded out the overall top 3 result.
