ReveD RSD Ceramic Ball Bearing

RC drift specialist brand Rêve D has released RSD ceramic ball bearings for high precision, light weight and low friction at Front Knuckle. Internal dimensions are adjusted to minimise rotational resistance while driving. The white ceramic ball, which has the largest possible ball size, provide excellent wear resistance and high durability. Rolling resistance is reduced by lightweight ceramic balls, and grease-less specifications eliminate the need for grease, which minimises the rotation loss of the front axle, which is important in RWD drift, and realises smooth front tire rotation.

Salven wins European C/ship 40+ title in Utrecht

He might have officially announced his retirement from top level competition at the 1:8 Onroad World Championships in the USA in 2019, but Michael Salven showed this weekend that he hasn’t lost any of his competitiveness. Racing at the RACO 2000 track in Utrecht, the Netherlands, the Serpent designer became the EFRA European 40+ Champion for a second time. A multiple 1:10 and 1:8 European Champion over the years, the Dutch based German secured the overall TQ as he took his Serpent 990 to the top of the times in 4 of the 5 rounds of qualifying. Unfortunately turning wet for the finals day, this didn’t effect his pace and despite suffering oneway bearing gearbox issues 10 minutes into the 45-minute final he was able to recover the lost ground and take the win. Joined by from Martin Zevenhoven (2nd) and Felix Reto (3rd), it was to be an all Serpent podium. In 1:10, another stalwart of onroad nitro racing took the title as Switerland’s Traugott Schaer led home Claus Ryeskov and Jurmin Etnel.
