Team Magic have announced their latest 1/8th scale buggy, the B8RS. Following feedback gained from track testing and driver feedback, they claim to have produced a car that is not only more agile, thanks in part to its lighter weight, but also more durable. The shock absorbers are big bore versions that are said to have been heavily beefed up to resist the rigours of off road racing. TM will release more information soon.

Team Magic have released yet another variation of their 1/8th scale buggy, called the M8JS. Available for a low price, TM claim that you will not find a buggy with this quality and workmanship anywhere else for this money. Essentially the same buggy as their M1B, this version comes pre assembled, so you just need to put some radio gear and a power plant and then your ready to go.

Told to us a few weeks ago, Team Magic have today confirmed that former World Champion and current 1/12th and 1/10th scale electric European Champion Marc Rheinard will compete at the 1/10th scale 200mm Worlds, which takes place this weekend and all of next week. A deal put on the table by Novarossi, Marc will partner current 1/10th scale 200mm European Champion Dario Balestri in running the Italian made engines together with the Taiwanese made Team Magic G4. This will be Marc’s first taste of on road nitro racing, having only tested briefly in Italy a few weeks ago, and Red RC will catch up with Marc to get his impressions on racing gas track when we begin reporting live from Portugal, beginning next Monday.

New from K-Factory is this E4 aluminium battery mount for 5 cell packs, specially designed to be used in the Team Magic E4FS and E4RS electric touring cars. Similar to the mount released previously for 6 cells, it too claims to make your car much more reliable and stronger, due to the increased hardness of the lightweight aluminium which when mounted acts as a structural part of the chassis. Hard coated for excellent surface protection, the battery mount features a milled battery tape slot that goes along the length of the mount to hold your cells in place.
