Ray Munday doubles at Victorian Drivers Series Rd2

Round 2 of the Victorian Drivers Series saw over 100 entries race at the Knox club in the South Eastern suburbs of Melbourne. The club had recently laid down a new clay surface – which received over 80mm of rain just before the event. Thanks to hard work from the club, the track was fantastic for the event, providing a low-wear, consistent race surface akin to an indoor track. The Modified 2WD and 4WD Buggy classes were dominated by Team Associated/Reedy drivers, with factory driver Ray Munday taking TQ and winning all three mains of each class for a perfect score for the weekend. Andrew Selvaggi (Team Associated/Hobbywing) and Matt Kellett (Team Associated/Reedy) were close behind for a Team Associated podium sweep in both 2WD and 4WD Modified. The Modified Truck class was taken out by 12-year-old gun Jordan Isergin.

JConcepts 1988 Chevy Silverado MT body shell

Coming from JConcepts is the 1988 Chevy Silverado monster truck body shell. The 1988 styling is very clean, updated, refined and did not display the boxy looks from the early 80’s. The fleetside design is spot-on featuring slight curvature to the main shape, new headlights, grille treatment and form-fitting wheel wells. The slight flare to the tyre openings give just a little wrinkle to the bed-sides and front fenders to accommodate different sized tyres for maximum versatility. The JConcepts body includes a decal sheet that makes detailing out the headlights, taillights and grille a breeze while window mask allows the user to quickly get the body into paint. Also included is a Racerback which fits the ’88 perfectly to recreate trucks all the way into the early 1990’s. The standard cab body has an 11″ wheelbase and fits retro and race monster trucks as a drop-on giving the all important clearance and functionality.

JConcepts Aero S-Type 1/10th buggy rear wing

JConcepts have introduced the next generation of 1/10th buggy rear wings with the new Aero S-Type. It includes options not yet seen before on a 1/10th off-road rear wing. An extended rear gurney lip makes tuning that much better for more grip on the loose surfaces while running the latest generation in off-road. The base of the wing design is built on the popular Aero wing but with new additions which make the wing more durable and more adjustable. The S-Type wing is a direct bolt-on piece for the Team Associated B6/B6D and B64/B64D. The wing features a long chord construction with revised section to incorporate some reinforced ribbing in the vertical plane below the over-hanging gurney. Cut-lines and dimpled locations are positioned throughout for trim and tuning options. The dimples in the rear can be reamed to expose larger holes which serve as pass-through for circulating air and helps the vehicle maintain its position during long flight jumps.

Ultimate Racing MBX7 series receiver battery box

Coming from Ultimate Racing and made for Mugen’s MBX7 series of nitro buggies and trucks is a 3-D-printed receiver battery box. Designed to do away with the vehicle’s standard “strap on” design, the box is large enough to take most straight-type receiver batteries while also allowing to leave the connectors inside the box for even greater protection against the elements. The 2-piece part is 3-D-printed from highly impact resistant material and self-locking nuts ensure that the screw threads do not get stripped over time. The box fits both the MBX7 and MBX7R kits.
