Functionality and style is what matters when transporting your equipment to and from the track. Ruddog’s small racing bag is ideally suited for parts, tyres or other accessories. When packing smartly, mini racers should be able to carry all they need for a day at the track inside the two plastic drawers. The bag itself is made from durable synthetic fibre material and sealed with convenient hook and loop tape.
Following a very long period of testing, in various tracks in Europe, X-Grip is really pleased to present their new X-Grip 32 rubber tires. X-Grip focussed on having a product that performed well but was easy to get the most out of while also being durable. The shape of the tread has been specially designed to have a gradual support that avoids abnormal behaviour, while the rim thanks to its internal design has been made sturdy and reliable.

For round 5 of the FSEARA the series returned to asphalt, this time at the Tampa FL SS Raceway. This is a brand new track for this season and is one of the most famous RC tracks in Florida offroad having last year hosted the ROAR 1/8th E buggy nationals. But many didn’t know they also have an on road track as well. Sharing the same driver stand as the off road track, it’s best of both worlds to be able to have a ‘covered’ on road track. Due to the dust and dirt around the track, many found this track to be challenging. Having a very narrow driving line, staying in the groove was the key to this track. The surface turned out to be one of the most consistent matching with the series Control Xpress 40x V3 tires. Just with a few packs of break in, 1 set of tires would be enough as the tire will get faster and faster throughout the run. It was surely never seen before from any other asphalt track.
