Jonas Kaerup joins Hot Bodies

Jonas Kaerup has made a surprise move only a short time before the 2008 DHI-CUP, with the former European 1:10 electric Touring Car Champion deciding to end his relationship with Corally, and race the Hot Bodies Cyclone for Morfars.dk and Hot Bodies Europe. Jonas had to say-

It is a major chance to get to drive the Hot Bodies Cyclone and I am thrilled to get the opportunity. The car has won the European championships and World championships in the hands of Andy Moore. It is probably the best car I get to drive now, so I cannot wait to try it on the track.

As well as signing up to Hot Bodies, Morfars.dk and Much More Racing, Jonas will be continuing to run GM motors and batteries with Xenon racing gears.

Olly Jefferies wins Rug Racers Rd4

Mirage are reporting from the 4th round of the Rug Racers championships which saw round 3 winner Olly Jefferies continue his great run of form to take the overall win. The HB Cyclone of Jefferies led after round one of qualifying but it was Elliott Harper that took over at the top of the time sheets in round two which made the final round of qualifying a very tense affair with both Elliott and Olly suffering incidents in the last run leaving Olly on pole with Elliott missing out by only a second. The first leg of the final saw Olly pull out a lead while Elliott found himself battling hard for second with Chris Kerswell, Elliot eventually claiming the position and taking 2nd. The 2nd leg was closer and saw Harper close to the bumper of the yellow and pink Cyclone for most of the race but he couldnt find a way past and so Jefferies took the overall win from Harper in 2nd.

Hudy have released a number of new items for lubricating moving parts on your model car. First up is high quality bearing oil that is used to lubricate bearings for ultra-smooth operation and long lifespan. Very good for use on dusty tracks and carpet tracks because it helps combat the effects of dust and carpet hair contamination, it is super thin to help promote quick penetration and fast & easy coverage. Next up is 2 different types of grease, graphite and silicone, the former is a high-performance semi-fluid lubricant which incorporate both extreme pressure additives and finely dispersed graphite for load carrying, while the silicone is seen as a general-purpose grease, formulated to provide extra protection against wear, corrosion, and water.

ST Racing Concepts wrench & pliers

ST Racing Concepts have released a number of new tools including a new wrench tool and shock shaft pliers. The 17 & 23mm wrench has been made with high quality CNC machined aluminium, is available in 3 colours, and is a must for serious nitro 1/8th scale truggy and Monster Truck racers. This is due to the lengthened neck of the 17mm wrench side to reach into the deeper offset rims while still providing enough room between the handle cross-bar, which features a 8mm wrench, and the wheel for your fingers to get a good grip. The new machined aluminium shock shaft pliers allow you to firmly hold the shock shaft in place while you thread on the shock ends, while preventing any scratching of the shock shaft.

Atomic Carbon B44 option parts

Following on from the brief piece from oOple about the Atomic Carbon S2 in which we mentioned that a new 4wd buggy was spotted, comes the first teaser pictures of that car which has turned out to be an Associated B44 with new carbon fibre option parts from Atomic Carbon. Most notable is the beautiful moulded, and machined, carbon fibre tub chassis which sports a different battery layout and radio gear configuration than the original car and also that it no longer uses an upper chassis brace, probably due to the stiffness of the tub. More information to be released soon.
