Ronnefalk takes 4th European 1:8 Nitro Buggy title

David Ronnefalk is the new EFRA 1:8 Nitro Buggy European Champion, the Swede taking his fourth title in the category and bringing it back to Xray whose last title in the category also came in Portugal back in 2018.  Racing at the upcoming eBuggy World Championship track of Barcelos Buggy Arena, it was defending back to back Champion Juan Carlos Canas who secured the TQ topping three of the 5 qualifiers.  Chasing his first ever European Nitro title, reigning World Champion opened qualifying with a TQ run before ending up P2 ahead of Ronnefalk, who was fastest in Q4.  Behind Mugen Seiki’s Berkan Kilic secured P4 with former 2-time Champion Elliot Boots completing the Top 5 for Sworkz.  Winning the faster of the two Semi Finals it was Ongaro’s Team Associated which lined up on pole for the final ahead of Canas, winner of his Semi, and Robert Batlle, the Sworkz driver having a good Semi final to finish 2nd behind Ongaro having qualified 10th.  Recovering from a bad start to his Semi, Ronnefalk would line up P5 behind Burak Kilic.  In the final a mistake by Ongaro while under pressure from the fast starting Ronnefalk, handed the former World Champion a lead he wouldn’t give up.  Towards the end Ongaro put in a charge setting the fastest lap but he was 3-seconds shy of the elusive first European title as Ronnefalk added a record fourth title, his last having also been at the Barcelos track in 2022.  A mistake by Canas ended his hopes of three in a row, the Spaniard completing the podium 7-seconds up on fellow countryman Batlle.

Infinity IF15-2 Shock Update kits

Hot on the heals of their recent 1:10 Nitro Touring Car European Championship win with Dario Balestri, World Champions Infinity have announced the release of several new update parts developed specifically for the IF15-2 platform. Based on feedback from the team, the shocks for the IF15-2 have been updated.  This update enhances overall grip and improves drivability across all speed ranges.  The update includes newly developed shock pistons, newly developed shock plastic parts and newly developed shock shafts. The new 4-hole pistons are designed to provide more damping at higher piston speeds, resulting in a more stable car behaviour and improved drivability.  The total hole area is the same as the 2 × 1.1 mm or 3 × 0.9 mm pistons, making it easier to quantify and tune your setup.  Newly develop Sock plastic parts means damper ends now feature a flanged design, and the spring retainer system has been revised to allow for an additional 2 mm of stroke.

MXLR MTC3 FlexBumper

Max Machler’s MXLR brand has added the Mugen Seiki MTC3 to its offering of 3D printed FlexBumpers.  Weighing 9.5 grams, it is printed with thermoplastic polyurethane for the optimal strength and flexibility and matches the original MTC3 footprint but with a lower overall profile.  Over a foam bumper the advantages of a FlexBumper are it absorbs hits better and does not transfer them as much into the chassis structure.  More robust and sturdy, it always goes back to original shape and don’t drag on the floor after a crash.
