Jonas Kaerup wins 2wd 1/10 Danish off-road national race

Another round of the Danish 1/10 off-road national race series was held in Viborg on the 18th on June on a very bumpy track near Jutland. Most of the Danish drivers had spent Friday practising on the new venue, and the beautiful prepared outdoor carpet track proved a good challenge with its cool layout and challenging jumps and tables. Q1 went to Nicolai Sørensen driving his Losi 22 in mid-motor configuration while Jonas Kaerup, driving an AE/CML C4.1 mid-motor buggy ended up 13th in the round doing many mistakes.

Pro-Line Revolver 2.0 VTR, closed cell inserts & Blockade tyres

Available soon are Pro-Line’s new Revolver 2.0 VTR truck tyre, VTR closed cell truck inserts and the new Blockade 1/8 scale buggy tyre. The Revolver 2.0 VTR 4.0” Off-Road 1/8 truck tyre is based on the original Revolver, which won the 2008 IFMAR World Championships at the Farm 2, in North Carolina. Subtle changes were made to the tread design that have resulted in better traction and faster lap times on a variety of racing surfaces. Available in Pro-Line’s M2 medium, M3 soft and M4 super soft rubber. Designed for the use with Pro-Line’s VTR line of 1/8 scale competition truck tyres are the updated VTR closed cell truck inserts. The inserts perfectly fit the shape of the tyre meaning no air gaps for a better support of the tyre and also a longer life of the insert even in harsh racing condition. The balanced and 100 percent water safe donuts are of a light weight and designed for tracks that desire a firmer insert. The Blockade 1/8 scale buggy tyre was seen before and finally hits the production status. The ROAR National title winning tyre features large lugs for extended tread life, a balanced tread spacing for optimised forward traction and a unique side tread.
