Team Titan Exhaust gas cooler

No doubt inspired by the pioneering design of Novarossi, Team Titan have released their own exhaust gas cooler. This version uses brass ends for better heatsinking of the exhaust gas, one of which is threaded and can be opened for internal cleaning without the need for a tool. Deep cut aluminium is the most efficient way to cool down the gas going back to the fuel tank, helping to get better run time for your 1/8 and 1/10 scale gas car.

South Swedish Indoor Cup Rd3

We received a report from the recent 3rd round of the South Swedish Indoor Cup (SSIC) that was arranged by Malmö Miniracing Club way down in the south of Sweden. Forty racers battled it out in three classes, 27T, 19T and Modified and in the modified class, which saw the biggest turnout with 20 entries, it was top Xray driver Niclas Nilsson who set the pace early in practice and had no problem taking TQ in all rounds. Tamiya racer Thomas Andersson took second spot on the grid but it was a close fight. Only a couple of seconds separated number 2 and 8 so the finals promised to be exciting. Niclas Nilsson continued his domination this day by taking all three finals, while behind him it was Christian Holmström with a Corally who moved up two spots from qualifying and claimed the 2nd spot in the overall standing with Thomas Andersson completing the podium.
