Our mates Rube Dude have the first studio pics of the soon to be released OCM Kaos DT-19T, that we showed you last week. This car is now ready for release and will include all the innovative features we have come to expect from OCM in their buggy range but it will sport a few others. The Diffs on this baby will be nice and solid from what we understand sporting 6mm diff output shafts and large sun gear that is 2.5mmx11.8mm.Â And of course OCM uses the finest aircraft grade alloys and hard anodising on all its parts so this truggy will not only be turning heads but should also be very competitive.

Hazlewood wins Rd2 BRCA Rally X Nats

Hazlewood wins Rd2 of BRCA Nats

Xray have a report on their site from the second round of the BRCA nationals for 1/8th off road, held last weekend at the EMORC astroturf track, which due to the tracks high grip nature, all cars present adopted a very stiff setup to prevent the car grip rolling. Qualifying was headed by Associated RC8 racer and round 1 winner Neil Cragg who qualified ahead of Team Magic driver David Crompton with Hobao racer Graham Alsop in 3rd. In the race it looked as though Cragg had it in the bag as he began to pull away from the battle behind him between Cromption, Alsop and Xray driver Hazlewood, but steering problems started to cause Cragg to slip up which dropped him down the order and left the lead fall to the chasing pack. The final was decided by pit stops with Crompton stopping later than Hazlewood, the Xray driver could snatch the lead on the final stop and win by a few seconds ahead of Crompton with Alsop in 3rd.
