Coming from Yeah Racing and made for Tamiya’s M07 Concept M-chassis kit are new aluminium rear arm mounts and a motor heat sink. Starting with the rear arm mounts, the parts are of a modified design with suspension ball inserts to prevent the assembly from binding when the arms sit at an angle. Included are four arm mounts, pivot balls and an assortment of shims to fine-tune the toe angle. Also new is a motor heat sink in blue anodising. As the motor of the M07 sits wrapped within the chassis the heat sink, that is connected to the motor plate, will greatly improve heat dissipation and thus the performance and lifespan of the motor.
Alexander Hagberg has ended a four year drought in the Yokomo Euro Touring Series, the Xray driver taking victory at the first outdoor race of the season in Spain today. Claiming the last of his ETS wins in Germany in 2014 on carpet, the Swede got his third ETS career win after the result went to a tie break when Christopher Krapp won an eventful A3. With the overall result coming down to times, Hagberg’s quicker A2 win sealed his first win on asphalt ahead of Krapp and Bruno Coelho. For Top Qualifier Coelho it would be a fraught end to a day that started out so well. Having taken a very straight forward win in A1, a mistake in A2 dropped him behind Ronald Volker before the pair clashed handing Hagberg the win. Leading away the field in A3, another mistake on the curbing, this time on the opposite side of the track, put an end to what could have been a weekend that put his rivals well on the back foot, especially given season opening winner Marc Rheinard was having a tough weekend. Despite the result, Coelho still leaves Spain now with a 5-points advantage over Rheinard who came into the weekend as joint leader. Hagberg’s win moves him up to third pushing Volker, who gave up his A3 lead to try help Krapp get the overall win, back to fourth.
