Exotek Racing Losi 22S drag car bumper set

Add protection to your Losi 22S drag car with this heavy duty alloy, carbon fibre and foam bumper set from Exotek Racing. This bumper set may just pay for itself in your first crash. Allows for optional mounting of SkyRC GNSS gps modules safely protected inside of the foam bumper and can be simply removed via 1 screw from the carbon hold in brace. Details include a heavy duty alloy and carbon fibre mounting base that secures the extra wide high density foam bumper. The same high impact foam used in touring car racing. Inside the foam bumper are 2 alloy posts for extra secure foam bumper mounting. The carbon plate has 3 hole positions for mounting the foam forward or back to fit in certain bodies. This design also allows you to experiment with adding nylon body posts onto the bumper or perhaps a lexan body lip (splitter) on the under side of the bumper. Designed to work with most street eliminator bodies.

Urbain wins EWS Finale

The final round of the 2021-2022 Essex Winter Series took place this weekend. Although the championship had been wrapped up in the Modified and Super Stock classes, it was far from decided in the Sportsman Stock and Front Wheel Drive categories as the 10th Anniversary Season came to a close. The Modified class saw two popular European racers join the field, Sweden’s Alexander Hagberg and France’s Lucas Urbain, but it was already-crowned champion Kyle Branson who set the pace in Q1 for Xray, narrowly ahead of Lucas’s Awesomatix. Q2 saw Lucas move to the top, with Alexander the quickest Xray in second, and Kyle dropping to third, before Q3 saw Alexander take his turn at the top ahead of Lucas and Kyle, the top three again being covered by less than 2 seconds. This set up a showdown for pole, with Lucas eventually coming out on top after taking the final round ahead of Kyle – but Alexander lined up second thanks to his better time from Q3.

Exotek F1 front & rear lightweight wings

Exotek Racing have produced these extra light front and rear wings for 1/10 F1 cars such as the Exotek F1 Ultra, X1 and F104 etc. The front wing is moulded nylon with a higher mounting base reducing the chance of dragging on the track and unsettling the car. At 18grams, lighter weight helps with that as well as reducing weight that overhangs past the wheels that also unsettles the car. The rear wing comes in at 21grams and has extra large wing elements for maximum aero downforce. Molded with a black lower base and white wing element for higher visibility.

Haheim & Johannessen win Norwegian Nationals

For the first time Bergen was the host of the Norwegian National Championships in the onroad category. They did a great job giving the racers a perfect event with a super nice layout on the very familiar ETS carpet. This was a 2-days event with 4 qualifiers on Saturday and a 5th qualifier on Sunday, followed by the triple A-mains. In TC Mod it was a pre-race favourite Nikko Haheim who managed to grab the TQ honours, followed by the youngsters Sindre Undheim in 2nd and Ola Lovbrekke in 3rd. The finals were pretty uneventful with Nikko grabbing the first two mains again followed by Sindre and Ola.
