RC4WD Rockbull 1/8 scale competition crawler

I wont pretend to know anything about Rock crawling but seemingly many people have said that the super size crawler is a ‘thing of the past’ or has ‘died. Crawling specialists RC4WD have never given up on this class and have been working to bring new items like tires, wheels and axles to the super class community and now they have a complete super class kit. Introducing the new Rockbull 1/8 scale competition crawler kit, the first competition super class crawler with pendulum weighted adjustable beadlock wheels, Rok Lok 4.0 tires and advanced alloy Super Bully axle. This definitely looks like a serious piece of equipment.

Euro Touring Series – Round 2

After a successful opening round in Kastellaun, the next round of the Xenon Racing backed Euro Touring Series moves on to the beautiful city of Budapest in Hungary on November 27/28. Making its first appearance on the ETS calendar last season, the race produced one of champion elect Jilles Groskamp’s greatest passing maneuvers as he overtook Toni Rheinard on the last corner of the last lap of the third leg of the A-Main to secure the overall victory. Like the season opener, there will be a strong line-up of team drivers making the trip to the Dabas-Diego Sports Centre. Heading that entry is championship leader Viktor Wilck, who will be joined by his World Champion Tamiya team mate Marc Rheinard. Xray will be in attendance with Martin Hudy, who finished the event on the podium last year, and their young charger Elliot Harper. Associated will be armed with Juho Levanen who showed very strongly with his TC5R in Kastellaun, qualifying third on the grid with a TQ run in Q3. 2006 World Champion Andy Moore is also confirmed.
