Vision Racing SC10 carbon chassis stiffener

Vision Racing introduce 2mm carbon fibre chassis stiffeners for the Team Associated SC10 series vehicles. This upgrade is designed to enhanced the performance of the truck’s stock chassis flex by stiffening and adding weight to the lowest point of the chassis but also keeping it centralised for improved handling characteristics. The modification is comparable to adding carbon arms and parts to the Team Associated vehicles allowing it to work much better on high bite tracks and it works well with the new anti-roll bar kit allowing it to carry even more corner speed. Included with the carbon parts come 18 4-40 x 3/16 countersunk screws for installation.

Summer Scorcher 2013 – Report

The 2013 Summer Scorcher was hosted by the legendary Phil Hurd Raceway, the race had about 86 entries and as usual the Score crew put on a great event with tremendous hospitality. The race format for the Summer Scorcher would be three rocket rounds of qualifying and 10 minute A-mains which meant a long day in the Georgia sun and a race that would possibly go into the night. Qualifying in SCT 4×4 and 1/8th E-Buggy was dominated by John Bernard and Travis Dupree and so it was no surprise that John lead the short course A final from start to finish with his Tekno SCT410 with fellow JConcepts driver, Jonathan Paulk finishing second. Travis and John also battled it out in the E-Buggy final and when the leg started Travis checked out and never looked back taking the win from John. In 1/10th Stadium Truck Tim Smith TQ’d and won while Travis Dupree TQ’d and won the 1/8 Pro Nitro Buggy class with Kevin Bullock in 2nd.
