Belgian SCT Cup Rd6 – Report

The 6th and final round of the Belgian SCT Cup was run at the Blackcountry Arena astroturf indoor track in Charleroi. Well known from the Euro Indoor Race, the club is used to organise flawless events in his great facility. This year’s track layout was both fast and technical, requiring a good rhythm in order to be fast. In the first round of 2WD qualifying Jean-François Renard (TLR) shows his good form by taking the first round ahead of Nicolas Evens (TLR) and Philippe Gustin (Associated). In round number 2 Jean-François and Nicolas swapped positions while Julian André (Associated) took the third spot. Jean-François also took the final round, followed by Edouard-Benoît Michez (Associated) and Julian André. With his two round wins, Jean-François grabbed the overall TQ and also the extra point that goes with it. Nicolas and Edouard-Benoît complete the Top 3 on the A main grid.

RPM Slash 4×4 LCG front bulkhead

RPM Slash 4x4 LCG front bulkhead

New from RPM comes a front bulkhead for Traxxas Slash 4×4 vehicles. Designed to solve several key issues with the stock LCG chassis, the RPM bulkhead is of a 2-piece design making maintenance much easier as the front of the vehicle can now be removed without having to touch the bellcranks. Another benefit of the new design is a cleaner staying steering assembly thanks to a pair of side dirt shields that blend with the chassis and help protect the steering servo and bellcrank area. The parts are moulded from RPM’s well-known nylon blend, come in black or blue colour and also fit the Stampede 4×4 and Rally 4×4 chassis.
