Aaron Lee wins 1/12th class at 2015 Muchmore Masters

The SMA hosted the 2015 Muchmore Masters with the weekend starting with rain and a condensed practice, so the field headed straight into seeding practice. With the extra low-grip asphalt it was extremely difficult to get the pan cars sorted and it was Aaron Lee (Serpent) who made the best out of the condition by taking all but one qualifier to take the pole position for the finals. The triple A-mains then had Aaron further dominating the field by coming out successful in all three final legs. David Craft went head to head with Hiroshi Ishizaki and Dustin Fletcher but David Craft (Serpent) came out on top after the three finals to take the runner-up spot from 3rd placed Dustin Fletcher (CRC).

The 29th annual Hank Perry 240 was held this past weekend in Spokane, Washington. This race doubles as round #2 of the Northwest Championship Tour and always draws a large entry count, in part due to being held on Memorial Day weekend each year.

The 3 day event consisted of Friday practice, 3 rounds of qualifying Saturday and triple A-Mains Sunday with single 30 minute nitro A-mains.

110% Racing RC Sweat shock O-ring lubricant

Following the RC Blood multi-functional grease RC 110% Racing have now introduced RC Sweat, a lubricant ideal to prevent the seals of shock absorbers from swelling. One of the biggest issues with shock absorbers is that the shock O-rings will swell up from the silicone shock oil, which will cause the shocks to bind up, completely taking away their smoothness and consistency. Using the RC Sweat lube during building and maintenance will not only keep the seals from swelling but the grease will also make for silky smooth shock action over a longer period of time.
