Infinity IF14 chassis balance weights

Creation Model have released a range of purpose designed balance weights for the Infinity IF14 electric touring car. A total of four options are available with a pair of left and right 10 gram each front weights, 5 gram each left and right rear weights and a centre weight in either 15 or 30 grams. The weights are easily mounted to the chassis using a single screw with an incorporated mounting pin to keep them locked in position. The design also features a minimal surface contact point between the weight and the chassis so as not to effect chassis flex.

Abrahámek & Havránek win at Czech IC Track Nats Rd3

Round 3 of the Czech Nitro On-road National Championships was held in Svitavy this past weekend. In the 1/10th 200mm Nitro Touring class it was Oliver Havránek (Xray) who put his car on pole position for the A-main but the final was ultimately won by Michal Abrahámek (Xray) as Oliver ran out of tyres in the closing stages, but was able to secure the 2nd spot though. Sunday and race two saw Oliver in trouble as first an engine and then also a servo broke but he managed to get the bump-up spot to the A-main to start the race from P11. In the main final Oliver would soon move up the field and despite finding himself in the grass once, he was able to bring home the win from Michael Abrahámek 2nd and Michal Jansa (Serpent) in 3rd overall.

RC-Lemans Series Rd3 – Report

The Raco 2000 club in Utrecht, The Netherlands played host to round 3 of the RC-Lemans Series this past weekend. The weather forecast was pretty mixed with especially the practice on Saturday was washed away, so only a handful of drivers made use of their rain cars. Sunday started off very damp and with a mixture of rain cars or dry cars with very soft tyres the drivers tried to make maximum use of the opening qualifier. Peter Plümacher made the best out of the conditions as he took the win in the LMP1 opener from Tobias Weist and Reinder Wilms. The track though started to dry up soon and by the second qualifier it was Kai Altmann on top from Tobias and Reinder. Thanks to the points system both Peter and Kai already got their spots in the A-main and with the quickest run in Q3 Tobias would grab the pole position for the triple A-mains as he won the tie-breaker against Kai and Peter. Reinder’s P2 in the final qualifier secured him P4 on the grid followed by reigning LMP1 champ, Tim Altmann who suffered two DNFs while a P3 in the final qualifier won him the 5th overall position.
