RC-Project HB D819/817 brass balance weights

RC-Project from Italy have introduced their new brass balance weights for the HB Racing D819RS, D819, and D817 buggies. Available as slim front or wide rear weights, they come in 20g or 30g variants, allowing to fine-tune the chassis’ weight balance easily while not affecting natural chassis flex or making for an unnecessarily cramped chassis.

Zalewski TQs & wins at XRS Poland Hot Race Series Rd1

The race was held in several nitro and electric off-road classes and in 1/8th Nitro Buggy it was Bartosz Zalewski (Xray) with the overall TQ from Bartek Zambrzycki (Agama) on the 2 spot.

A flame out at Zambrzycki’s final stop would mean that he would just miss out on the win on his debut in 1/8th racing, as Bartosz Zalewski took the winning honours from Zambrzycki in 2nd and Tomasz Gadnicki (Xray) in 3rd.
