Tebo wins opening final in Finland

Jared Tebo has won the opening leg of the A-Main at the 2WD Electric Buggy World Championship. Starting from fourth on the grid the Kyosho driver took a convincing win over the Associated’s of Ryan Cavalieri and Top Qualifier Neil Cragg. Running only the seventh fastest lap time of the race, the American proved speed was not the key to success at the Vaasa track as he benefited from mistakes early on by Cavalieri and Maifield before pulling off a very nice pass on Cragg for the lead.

Xray Column – From on-road to off-road

The 53rd installment in the Xray column from Xray owner and chief designer Juraj Hudy is now online. In this months column, Juraj talks about 1/8 scale buggy European Championship warm-up in Germany and the 1/10 scale electric touring cars European Championships warm-up in Austria.

With the previous experience and plenty of data recorded at our factory tracks, we were ready to test at a different track and under different conditions.
