1up Racing Pro Duty Titanium Body Limiter Screws

New from 1up Racing are these Pro Duty Titanium Body Limiter Screws for touring car use. The smooth ball head prevents scratching your livery and its minimal design saves as much weight as possible at the highest point in your car, critical for keeping the CG low. The Body Limiter Screws install into the upper arms of your touring car to keep the body from touching the tires. Not only saving weight over kit steel screws, but their original ball head design has minimal contact with the body, keeping it looking fresh and moving freely. The unique design features flat sides and can easily be adjusted using a turnbuckle wrench, or by sticking a 1.5mm wrench through the hole. Made from 6AL4V Titanium the Pro Duty Titanium Body Limiter Screws are available in four sizes- M2, M2.5 and M3 Short and Long variants.

Nicholson wins WA Electric Onroad State Titles

Schumacher driver Simon Nicholson has won the Western Australia Electric Onroad State Titles which was hosted by West Coast Model RC over the weekend. The back to back Australian National Champion arrived late to the event after a cancelled flight and missed half a day of practice. In qualifying RC Maker’s Jeff Hamon would take the overall TQ. Topping the opening qualifier Hamon took three of the five rounds with Nicholson taking the other two. In the triple A-Main, Nicholson would take the first one from Jeffrey Mackie as Hamon struggled with tyres and dropped down the order. A better A2 would see Hamon get the win from Nicholson by a big margin setting the stage for an A3 decider. Unfortunately a mistake by Hamon saw him clip Nicholson with Mackie getting the win but overall it was Nicholson who took the title from Hamon with Mackie completing the podium.
