Nosram Pure Evo BL motor Tuning parts

Nosram have released some new aluminium tuning and cover parts that improve the performance and style of your Pure Evo brushless motor. Due to their design, the motor has better heat-dissipation and air-flow, resulting in a lot cooler running temperature for your motor which helps improves consistency and efficiency, resulting in better power even to the last lap. The lightweight front housing improves air-flow for a lower running temperature, as well as lowering the overall weight of your motor, while the aluminium end cover sports cooling fins to improve the heat dissipation significantly compared to the standard plastic version.

Mark Green wins BRCA 1/8th Rd8

Round 8 of the BRCA championship was held at the Mendip circuit for the second time this season. With Bristol airport being a small drive away and due to the completion of the Irish season, a small contingent from Ireland arrived, including the vastly experienced Clive Connelly (Mugen) and Ian Campbell (Shepherd).

The weather forecast for the weekend was bright which would allow a lot of testing to be carried out in order to find the perfect setup. With top 200mm driver, Kyle Branson making an appearance for the first time this season and the presence of the top Irish drivers would make it difficult for the usual top 10 to be sure of a main final qualifying position and so the pressure to perform was considerably increased.
