Berkan Kilic wins at North German regionals Rd2

The Braunschweig track near Hanover played host to the second round of the North German 1/8th Off-road regionals this past weekend. The track was pretty challenging with its natural clay surface and a lot of small holes and most of the drivers already showed up on Saturday to make maximum use of the practice time. After the 20-minute semi finals on Sunday it was Berkan Kilic (Agama) with the TQ from Burak Kilic (Agama) on the 2 spot and Phillip Guschel (Xray) starting from P3. In the opening stages of the 40-minute A-main final Burak was able to get past Berkan and he even slightly separated from the field until he ran into mechanical issues that promoted Berkan into the lead again that he would hold onto until the checkered flag. Marcel Paul (Kyosho) would obtain the 2nd spot from Phillip Guschl 3rd. However as the latter was only a guest starter it was Ilias Reise (Agama) who would round out the podium result.

Thanks to Abdullah Kilic for the report.

Ongaro & Hara win at 2018 Philippine Masters

The 2018 Philippine Masters was held at the Circulo Verde Race Track in Quezon City, Philippines over the weekend, attracting many World-class 1/8th off-road drivers from all over the planet. The nitro 1/8-scale event contests only buggies and truggies – no Sportsman, or other classes. In the one-hour Buggy final, it was Mugen Seiki’s Robert Batlle who put up a fierce early battle with Ronnefalk who was battling for the lead from his P3 position. The two drove clean and changed places often, but Batlle didn’t seem to have the same speed that carried him to TQ. Whether it was engine power, tire choice or other variable, Batlle just couldn’t hold his earlier lines and mistakes started to plague him sending him down the list of drivers.

Schelle B6.1 front & rear carbon fibre shock towers

Coming from Schelle Racing Innovations and made for the Team Associated B6.1 series of buggies are a 5mm front gullwing arm shock tower and a rear low centre of gravity stay. The 5mm front tower is of a heavy duty design, however it matched the kit geometry and it is usable with the plastic tower guard that covers the optional wing mount locations. Also available is a thinner 4mm variant to match the flex characteristics of the standard kit tower. Last but not least comes the B6.1D low centre of gravity rear shock tower. It lowers the shocks for a low CG and more predictable rear suspension as this tower sits 2mm lower to the ground, and also gives racers the fine adjustment with tight hole spacing. The 4mm tower is a direct bolt-on to the B6.1D and it was designed for the use with 31mm shock body and short rod ends.
