We received a small report from the 1/10th scale EFRA GP that is being run this weekend in Gubbio, Italy. Saturday was scheduled to have 2 rounds of controlled practice followed by four rounds of qualification, however rain interrupted the racing, and saw the track get dry only after the first round of qualification. With the final heat of today also stopped because of the rain, it was Dutch Sirio racer Jilles Groskamp that is currently on pole position, ahead of Mugen racer Giuseppe D’Angelo in 2nd and current European Champion Dario Balestri in 3rd. Tomorrow morning will see two more rounds of qualifications run followed by the mains and we hope to bring you the results as we get them.

Xray have released these high-performance racing springs for their XB808 buggy, that have been specially developed to give better balance and an additional range of choices to fine-tune your car. Developed through extensive testing and racing experience, these linear springs use the same thickness of wire for each spring, and stiffness is controlled by the number of coils. Softer springs have a lower “C” value and more coils; stiffer springs have a higher “C” value and fewer coils. Available as a pair of springs – to fit front and rear – the springs are individually measured, controlled, inspected and matched to provide identical damping characteristics. During the selection process, each spring is compressed in several fine increments and the values recorded, and then each spring is matched with another spring of identical characteristics.
