Mayako MX8 new Suspension Mounts & Hinge Pins

Mayako has introduced new suspension mounts and screw type inner hinge pins for increased strength on its MX8 1:8 Buggy. The new mounts feature oval holes in the blocks which will allow the screw type hinge pin to go through and be tightened with a M4 lock nut. The mounts are assembled in the same way like the previous one, the hinge pin is the only difference. The 4mm Hinge Pins make the car more sturdy and durable in hard impacts and will prevent the suspension mounts to split and have the old “captured” design hinge pin pop out.

Boda continues domination of French 1:10 Offroad Nationals

Sworkz team driver Clément Boda continued his domination of the French 1:10 Offroad National Championships with another double victory at Round 2 over the weekend. Winning both 2WD and 4WD at last month’s season opener, which was hosted by Club Auto Modelisme St Exupery on their indoor carpet track, Round 2 was also on carpet but this time outdoors at the track of Mini Racing Club Antibois. In 2WD qualifying it would be the Xray of Noha Ben Mohamed who would secure the overall TQ from Boda with the order reversed in 4WD. In the finals, Boda would win the first two 2WD encounters to wrap up the win but in 4WD it would go to A3 as Mohamed won A2 from Boda by just 3/10ths of a second. Staying out front in A3, Boda would maintain his 100% Nationals winning streak. The 4WD podium would be completed by Valentin Peuziat while in 2WD Carl Maignien rounded out the Top 3.
