The 2010 Australian 1/10 On Road National Championships took place in Adelaide recently and it was a dominating performance by the Capricorn team that saw Peter Jovanovic 1st and Steven Jovanovic 2nd. During 4 days of practice and qualifying the South Australian track was producing massive wear and in the final tire strategies were going to play a massive part on the final result. Finals day saw Peter deciding not to change tires in the 45 minute main final, while Steven opted to change tires at the 25 minute mark. The decision to not change tires gave Peter the win over brother Steven, with Shepherd driver Jeff Hamon in 3rd.

Simon Ciudan wins Hungarian Nationals

The last round of the Hungarian Nationals took place recently in Pécs under extremely wet conditions. Because of the bad weather a lot a drivers refused to race, and only those who still had chance for the title decided to compete. After winning the last two rounds it was Shepherd racer Simon Ciudan who had the best chances to claim this years title. The final was started on a wet track and Ciudan took over the lead. As the conditions were really bad, he was the only driver to finish the race, winning with a huge gap over László Kiss-Orbán on second place and Kovács Tamás finishing third. With this victory Ciudan had enough points to win the Hungarian 1/10th Scale Nitro Championship by 8 points over László Kiss-Orbán on second place.

Xray NT1 Downstop Independent aluminium ARB

From Xray, the new aluminium front anti-roll bar for the NT1 allows you to independently adjust the anti-roll bar from the downstop, so that the downstop setting does not influence the performance of the anti-roll bar and vice versa. An added feature of this set is that you can also adjust the wheelbase. The anti-roll bar moves together with the front arm, and wheelbase adjustment shims can be added either in front of the anti-roll bar, to shorten the wheelbase, or behind the arm, to lengthen the wheelbase.
