Associated confirm Kaerup for MIBO International

Team Associated has confirmed they will be represented at the upcoming MIBO International Race in the Czech Republic with the news that their teenage offroad star Marcus Kaerup will make his debut at the third edition of the event on February 7-9th. The multiple European Champion and World Championship finalist is set to take the challenge to Sworkz’s defending 2WD Champion Joern Neumann and Schumacher pairing of Michal Orlowski and Daniel Kobbevik. Having been denied back to back European 2WD Buggy titles by Orlowski last September in Swedend when EFRA hosted the European Championship indoor on carpet, the 17-year-old Dane will be looking to prevent the reigning MIBO International Touring Car Champion from doing the double as the Polish ace races on both the onroad and offroad track this year. In 4WD he will take on the Xray of fellow teenager and reigning champion Bartek Zalewski. Red RC is looking forward to kicking off its 2025 World tour of race coverage by making the trip to Hrotovice once again to report on the action.

EXO Design YC-870C Shock Mounting Point Extension Set

Buggy conversation specialist EXO Design has created this Shock Mounting Point Extension Set for when using big bore shocks on the Yokomo YC-870C/YZ-10. As big bore shocks needs more room to clear out from the arms, using washers on a single mounting point will cause mounting screw to bend easily due to huge torque. EXO Design’s shock mounting point extension set solves this issue by using double mounting points on the arm, and create a more solid and durable mounting position without compromising setting options.

JP3D MetriCKs Enclosed Damper System

US based Custom 3D printing solutions company JP3D has released this Enclosed Damper System for CRC MetriCKs 1:12 chassis. The 3D printed rotary damper system replaces the stock exposed dampers with a fully enclosed system with the dampers printed in a very strong nylon composite material. The enclosed rotary dampers use a heavier grease, not included, than the stock dampers to achieve the same level of damping, but it stays very clean & consistent throughout the race event. The package comes complete with both L&R dampers as well as mounting screws. This damper system has been tested and raced by many CRC racers recently with podium finishes at US Indoor Champs and Hudy Indoor Champs.
