The annual 1/8th Off-road French Cup was held this past weekend with around 100 drivers in attendance. The 3-day meeting started on Friday but rain affected the practice sessions and even on Saturday morning the track wasn’t fully dry but equipped with super soft tyres the drivers would be able to tackle the qualifiers that saw Jerome Aigoin taking the TQ honours in every of the four rounds. In the final, Jerome took the lead and he was able to built a comfortable gap of up to 20 seconds on his brother Yannick and the Sartels. Jerome opted for a safe strategy with an extra pit stop and despite a last minute roll he was able to grab the day’s win from his brother Yannick.

Coming from Team Losi Racing and made for the 8ight-E line of 1/8th scale electric buggies and trucks is the electric clutch system. It converts electric 1/8th scale buggies and trucks to a nitro-style clutch system, providing smoother throttle response, especially on bumpy tracks. The clutch provides instant power while increasing traction and decreasing the load on the drivetrain while the slip system of the clutch allows improved throttle modulation on bumpy tracks as it will slip under a heavy or abrupt load allowing the vehicle to remain stable. The clutch system also allows for full brake usage without the need for mechanical brakes due to the preloaded clutch shoes. The set includes two alloy and two composite clutch shoes, three different spring sets but not clutch bell and it is a direct fit on the 8ight-E 2.0, 8ight-E 3.0 and 8ight-E T 3.0.
