Ruddog protection & heat shield tape

Ruddog Distribution have introduced their new protection and heat shield tape. 50mm wide and coming as 200cm rolls, the aluminium tape is ideal to reinforce and protect body shells in the bumper, wheel arch and exhaust area as it is not only super strong but also highly heat-resistant. While preventing body shells from becoming damaged it is also ideal as a wrap around for fuel tanks as it keeps away engine and exhaust heat, preventing the plastic tanks from swelling or melting.

Jorge Chacon wins Bolivian Nationals finale

The final round of the Bolivian 1/8th Off-road Nationals was held in Cochabama over the weekend. The tight and technical track with many jumps and a very big double made for challenging conditions as did the lack of oxygen, 8000 ft. above sea level. JQRacing’s Joseph Quagrain, who is on a South America tour currently, took the overall TQ after winning the final three qualifiers and he was also leading the 30-minutes A-main final until, after having already lapped the field, he collided with a competitor’s car landing the big double which damaged the engine of JQ’s car, ultimately ending his race. This made way for young Jorge Chacon (JQRacing) who kept his cool and took the win in front of Wilson Cuellar (HB Racing) 2nd and Carlos Guerra (JQRacing) 3rd.
