Nathobuilds have released a number of new carbon parts for various 1/10th offroad buggies. Starting with the Xray XB2, they have produced a carbon fibre motor mount replacing the kit aluminium part for a lighter option. Next up for the YZ4 SF2 is this o-ring battery strap that replaces the standard kit taps, firmly securing your battery and also allowing you to make adjustments on your shorty pack. Finally for the Associated B6.3 is a carbon servo mount plate which replaces the kit plastic mount to improve rigidity.
Two new items from Kyosho for their Inferno MP10e 1/8th buggy, beginning with this aluminium servo mount. As the name suggest this two piece machined aluminium servo mount will improve rigidity over the stock plastic versions, enabling quicker steering response. The second item is a simple carbon top plate for the centre differential adding extra bling and reducing weight.

This past weekend was the fourth round of the fantastic SOOM series, there was once again a great entry of drivers present. The race format was round by round qualifying, with the best 2 results from 4 rounds of qualifying counting towards the final position. The Southport team had designed a fantastic track layout for both days of our event. The mixed weather was present on Saturday but it was dry and sunny for most of Sunday. Finally as some travel restrictions have been lifted, it allowed both Michal Orlowski and Jorn Neumann to get across to the event. In 2wd qualifying it was Neil Cragg who would take TQ to line up on pole. Tommy Hall would be 2nd and Luke Holdsworth would line up 3rd.

OS have introduced the new OS Speed B2104, a long-stroke .21 offroad engine, featuring quicker response in the low range and more torque in middle range, along with consistent idling. The new piston/liner is conventional 3-port type enabling more torque over the power range, while the new crankshaft has DLC coating and two tungsten counterweights embedded in the crankshaft contributing to consistent idling and quick return to idle. The boost port and the exhaust port of the crankcase are redesigned for optimum air flow, while the rest of the engine remains familiar with the use of 22E type carburettor and conventional round-shape cooling head with standard height. Also available as part of a combo with the TB03 (T-2100, EFRA 2155) silencer with 80mm manifold.
