JConcepts pre-trimmed 6.5" Hi-Clearance wings

JConcept’s IFMAR World Championship winning Hi-Clearance 1/10th buggy wing is now available as a drop-on fit for the RC10B5 and RC10B5M. Debuted at the 2011 IFMAR Worlds, the Hi-Clearance wing design has been used with success on medium to large sized tracks where fast, at-speed handling is required. Moulded in exclusive and durable polycarbonate, the wing features a beefy feel but light-weight enough to be considered a race wing. It comes pre-trimmed with clean, smooth edges and it is ready to become decorated or scuffed to your liking. The wing is available specifically drilled for the B5 or B5M.

Belgian SCT Cup Rd7 – Report

The penultimate round of the Belgian SCT Cup was held at the BRTC club’s track, the place SC racing started in Belgium some years ago. The race marked the final outdoor event of the year and despite a sunny start into the weekend, on race day the track was very wet.

Danish Touring Car Nationals Rd1 – Report

Round 1 of the Danish Touring Car Indoor Nationals was held in the city of Randers using a purpose built track in a sports hall. The track itself had a nice and flowing layout but the long pile carpet made for some strange car behaviour, low grip and loads of broken ball bearings. During Saturday’s practice Mike Gosvig was able to pull the fastest laps but come race Sunday he started to make some mistakes allowing Patrick Hornum to take the TQ and the pole position for the A-mains.
