Exotek B6 drag front bumper set

Add protection to your B6 series drag car (B6-B6.3 series) with Exotek’s heavy duty alloy, carbon fibre and foam bumper set. This bumper set may just pay for itself in your first crash. 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 3 alloy posts for extra secure foam bumper mounting, while the carbon plate has 2 hole positions for mounting the foam forward or back. Designed to work with most street eliminator bodies, you may opt to add extra foam layers to the front of the bumper for longer nosed bodies like the Malibu etc.

Pro-Line 1967 Mustang clear body

Pro-Line is proud to introduce the iconic 1967 Mustang clear body to the no prep drag racing scene. The front end features a massively inset grill and headlights just like the full-size muscle car, which is only made possible with Pro-Line’s proprietary moulding technology. This Mustang body has been faithfully recreated in 1/10 scale size and tuned specifically for drag racing. The body comes clear giving you the option to paint the body however you desire and Pro-Line even includes a drag-style rear wing to keep you going straight down the track. If you are a Mustang fan, then this is a must-have body for your drag car. Get your own 1967 Ford Mustang body today. To create the most scale look possible, the body is designed with a narrower track width than a traditional SC body. It is a direct fit on the AE DR10 and the Losi 22S No Prep Drag Car, and your 2wd Slash will require some new parts to fit correctly.

Bruno Coelho double at inaugural GTS race

Last weekend was the first race of the new-for-2021 GT Series (GTS) at the fantastic Vallelunga RC track in Italy. With a lot of drivers attending the event from mid week to test and learn the track it was building up to be a great race. The Xray team had a strong team present with Bruno Coelho and Martin Bayer heading the entry, and from qualifying onwards Coelho was dominant, taking the TQ spot in both Nitro and Electric with his GTX and GTXE respectively. In the finals it was more of the same as the Portuguese driver took the wins in both classes ahead of team mate Bayer in both, with SWorkz racers Leonardo Valente in 3rd in Nitro while Natanaele Senesi took his Serpent to the final podium spot in the EP class.

Hasi Tuned .21 manifolds

Hasi Tuned have released 4 new manifolds for .21 engines, the first of which is a conical manifold that guarantees easy tuning and low fuel consumption. This is great for middle fast track were there is normally high fuel consumption. The 2nd is a conical 90° version and offers more torque in the low and middle rpm and is a perfect choice for fast tracks. The 3rd version is a conical 90+90 and has extreme torque making it a good choice for super fast track and there is a 4th version which is slightly longer for a little bit simpler tuning and with less consumption than the std version.

Kypak Touring race, Finland – Report

KyPak Touring Race was the first touring car race of 2021 in Finland, and it was hosted last weekend by the KyPak Circuit in Kouvola. Founded in 1990 KyPak (Kymenlaakso’s Model Racing Club) is the oldest club solely focused on model car racing in Finland. The club has great facilities for both outdoor and indoor onroad racing and dedicated staff for hosting RC Racing events for over four decades now. This said, the KyPak Touring Race was nothing short of great. Everyone was eager to get back to racing after a long hiatus in RC racing in Finland. The race itself was held in two classes, Modified Touring and 21.5T Stock Touring. The KyPak Circuit is a great venue with very smooth tarmac and a very technical layout. It bathed in sunny June with temperatures as high as 25 degrees Celsius and with very little cloud cover and small gusts of wind. It was a perfect day for RC racing.
