Krueger, Feneis & Hammann win at MN State champs

The Minnesota State Championships have been held in Starbuck, MN for 18 years. The facility provides a covered track, camping, and a venue for some of the best competition in the region. In the 2WD Modified class, Team Associated’s Kraig Krueger used his mid motor B5M to hold off a surging Neil Feneis to secure his third consecutive state title. In the Modified Truck class it was Neil Feneis (Team Associated) and his RC10T4.2 who narrowly grabbed the win from last year’s State Champion Marshall Skare. Having already secured a state title in touring car earlier this year, Dan Hamann (Team Associated) used his SC10.2 to add a short course title to his resume.

JConcepts B5M Finnisher bodyshell

After releasing a whole load of Silencer design bodyshells JConcepts now comes back to the popular Finnisher body that soon will become available for Team Associated’s B5M buggy. The Finnisher sports a smoother high-speed transition with increased flow past the side-pods that lends itself perfect to high-speed circuits. As track conditions have advanced through additives, treatments and maintenance, the ultimate aero package flows through the turns, produces traction and jumps with consistency. The body is capped off with a centre roof channel for high speed tracking stability, increased roof stiffness and dual side window treatment. Included with the body come two 6.5″ Hi-Clearance rear wings.
