Munday & Zammit win at 2016 Coleman Cup

The Coleman Cup memorial race has been running since 1995 in honor of young racer Brendan Coleman, who had tragically passed away. The 2016 edition was recently held at the Melbourne Keilor Offroad RC Club, where over 80 entries raced for the prestigious trophies. The club worked hard to put on a good track; unfortunately, Mother Nature stepped in during the day, and her ever-increasing gale force winds forced the event to be cancelled on safety grounds after qualifying. 2WD Open saw Ray Munday taking the first place from Andrew Selvaggi second and Cameron Zammit third, making it an all Team Associated podium. 4WD Open saw a result identical to the Victorian Titles two weeks prior, with 15-year-old ‘Cam Zam’ in first place, Ray Munday in second, and 10-year-old Lachlan Munday in third, all driving Team Associated buggies. Cameron also took the Truck Open class while in the highly competitive 17.5T categories, 11-year-old Jordan Isergin continued his strong form with a first in 4WD 17.5T.

JConcepts introduce 2.6″ monster truck tires & wheels

JConcepts introduce 2.6" monster truck tyres & wheels

JConcepts have introduced their all-new 2.6″ monster truck tires and wheels. First up is the Renegades tire, a low-profile carcass and cut-tread offering. The chevron style lugs has been created with specially designed back-cut tread and shaved carcass areas imitating the real thing. At rotation, the tread still stands tall and provides a hefty edge of forward grip in a variety of conditions. The back-cut section provides a small transition during high-speed corning which conform to changing terrain and obstacles. The side-walls have been treated with wording, designs and descriptions consistent with full-scale tires during that generation of performance. The low-profile stance of the Renegades stays very flat during race course competition, speed-runs or general use. The tire carcass profile holds the weight extremely low while the design of the tire beads allows just the right amount of contact patch for gluing and application. The Renegades is available in sticky soft blue compound for dirt, grass and asphalt while the gold compound feels harder to the touch and excels on carpet, astroturf and polished concrete surfaces. It also expands less during high-speeds. Renegades tires are complete and include open cell React inserts to support the grippy tires.
