Build to comply with IFMAR, ROAR and BRCA rules the motors utilise a high-strength 7075 aluminium can with unique double colour V-routing design for a low weight of around 145g. The V4S also uses non-magnetic, hardened alloy screws to extract more RPM and power from the motor.

ENS Season #5 kicks off with first ever Dutch encounter

The fifth season of the Infinity Euro Nitro Series kicks off this weekend with the high profile Onroad Nitro championship travelling to the Netherlands for the first time in its 16 race history. Rucphen is the venue for the first of the four events over which the World’s best drivers will do battle to become the overall champion, with reigning champion Simon Kurzbuch going after a third 1:8 title in a row. In 1:10, a class that has crowned a new champion at the end of every ENS season, that pattern looks set to continue. Last year Bruno Coelho added the ENS title his ETS and EOS titles but, as one of the most versatile and therefore busiest drivers in the sport, his schedule prevents him from defending his title. The competition will still be fierce however, given it is a World Championship year for 1:10, and with the ENS a title that has eluded current World Champion Dominic Greiner he goes into Season #5 as the firm title favourite.

Ruddog clear 25mm double sided tape

New from Ruddog Products comes a clear double sided tape for a wide range of applications. Coming as convenient 100cm rolls the clear silicone tape offers a comparable thickness to standard foam tapes, however it is much easier to remove from the chassis and electronics while still offering loads of bonding strength for demanding off-road and on-road applications. The somewhat thin tape keeps the electronics as low as possible for minimal influence on the car’s overall centre of gravity and at 25mm width it is ideal for speed controllers, receivers, personal transponders and many more.
