OCM Racing, makers of the Kaos 1/8th scale buggy, have released some cad images of their new truggy, the Kaos DT-19T. The chassis itself looks to have a very standard design for a car in this class with the only stand out feature from the cad images being the Allen key adjusted track rod system that looks like a very neat idea. Expect to see this car in the shops in March.

Piktor, the French company that has been teasing us with images of their all new and rather unique Rush 2 1/8th scale off road buggy, have finally shown us the complete body shell of the car. This computer generated graphic shows the body shells flowing curves, including the F1 type winglets in front of the rear wheels, as well as the unique front wing. I have to say it looks good, now if they would only release the car we’d all be happy.

In his debut race using the .12 spec 1 RR engine from Axial, Kyosho driver Marc Kreisig has won the second round of the RCM Cup held at the indoor Race Center Munzig. In qualifying Kreisig could only manage 4th position, despite setting a new lap record, behind Ralf Krause, Andreas Giesa and Thomas Fischer. In the race however he had to start from the pit lane but could fight his way back up to 2nd place and, after a mistake from Ralf could take the lead and never looked back to take the win.
