Luca Redaelli takes European 1/10th 'B' title

The EFRA European 1/10th 200mm ‘B’ championships were hosted by the beautiful Gubbio track in Italy this week. Qualifying on this fast track would go the way of Italian Xray/IDM driver Luca Redaelli ahead of the German pairing of Dominik Greiner in 2nd and Simon Balk in 3rd driving Serpent and Xray respectively, with Davide Gallesi in 4th driving for Capricorn. With no driver guaranteed a place in the main final it was the semi finals which would decide the starting order. Italian Alessio Forte, the 10th placed qualifier, would end up taking the pole position for the final with top qualifier Redaelli lining up in 2nd. In the 45 minute final Forte would hit problems and retire at 24 minutes leaving Redaelli to take the win, closely follow home by Greiner in 2nd, 3 seconds separating the pair, with Simon Balk completing the podium one and a half laps back in 3rd.

With the Christmas tree format in place, racers not in the top 10 had to bump up to secure the last two available slots in order to join the magic 12 car final.

Team Associated B4/T4 centered ESC mount

Team Associated B4/T4 centered ESC mount

Team Associated introduce the Factory Team centered ESC mount that allows racers to mount their vehicle’s speed controller in the center of the car against the rear bulkhead. In addition, the plate makes room underneath for the receiver when using shorter packs. These changes move more of the weight to the center, allowing the vehicle to change directions faster. This advantage is even more pronounced on high-grip surfaces. The mount is designed for the use with Team Associated’s B4 and T4 platforms and is also usable with standard size 2S packs and comes including mounting hardware.
