Mike Gosvig wins Danish 1/8th off-road nats Rd7

The 7th and final round of the Danish 1/8th off-road nationals was held in Bramming. The purpose-built track was located within a large indoor riding arena and offered quite a low grip and one or the other tricky jump. Following Saturday’s 1/8th E-buggy race the nitro buggies would race on Sunday. The opening qualifier saw Magnus Frandsen taking the round TQ from Mike Gosvig and Henning Warner. In the second round Mike stroke back on new tyres, securing himself the TQ some 2 seconds in front of Magnus Frandsen and Pelle Culmsee. For the third round Mike changed his tactics and tried to get the maximum out of his buggy which at the end paid out as the TQ’d the round some 11 seconds from Jan D. Hansen in 2nd spot.

MIP 5ive-T header lock wire kit

MIP introduce the Losi 5ive-T header lock wire set for Losi’s large scale truck. Including a pair of pipe screws, split lock washers, M5 safety wire nuts and 2 feet of spring wire the set helps to secure the header screws and nuts of most gasoline engines to prevent them from vibrating loose during operation. The lock wire routes through the nuts, limiting their movement once they accidentally come loose due to heat and vibrations, and although they may still move a little bit they still hold the pipe in place making sure you can complete the run without sacrificing engine performance.
