Max Kuenning takes ROAR 1/12th Stock title

Max Kuenning takes ROAR 1/12th Stock title

We already reported on the Modified classes from last weekend’s ROAR Carpet Nationals held at the Gate in Cleveland, but we have now received a report from the event’s largest class, the hotly contested 1/12th scale stock class. After four rounds of qualifying it was the Calandra Racing Concepts team that took the top 3 spots, with Tom Firsching taking the TQ spot position ahead of Max Kuenning and Dave Johnson, qualifying 2nd and 3rd. In the Triple A-main format, each driver had a great chance to win the event overall with Johnson won the first A-main (A1) from 3rd on the grid with Tom 2nd and Max 3rd, while in A2, Max took the win with Tom 3rd. The final leg saw a titanic battle between Tom and Max, with the lead swapping 2 or 3 times. While leading, neither driver could shake his rival as the 2 broke away from the pack. In the end Max was able to wrestle the win with Tom hot on his tail.

Xray 41T Diff Gears

Xray 41T Diff Gears

New for Xray’s standard, and active, differential are these 41-tooth large bevel gears that have been machined from special Hudy steel material, which is specially developed for gear-type products. The gear has been additionally hardened and precision ground to fit the tightest tolerance requirements with the diff outdrives. The gears are individually machined on a precision German gear machine and every gear is individually tested, inspected, and run in. The diff gear is then laser engraved for easy and instant recognition. Their special heat treatment makes the gear very hard and strong not only on the surface but also in the core, thus give the gear an extraordinarily-long lifespan with very low wear comparing to standard gears. This gear is recommended for slippery tracks and offers increased stability while introducing a slight amount of on-power understeer.
