Kyosho MP10 hard spring servo saver assembly

Kyosho are busy adding more Inferno MP10-related option parts to their portfolio. The latest is a hard spring type servo saver assembly. The construction consists of composite bellcranks and it built using a hard retainer spring that ensures a crisper steering reaction in high-bite track conditions. Using the servo saver requires heavy duty steering servos with durable metal gears in order to prevent the servo from becoming damaged. The servo saver set also fits the older MP9 series of kits.

Ty Tessmann wins Factory Tracks Invitational race

Sparks RC Raceway of Columbus, Ohio played host for the Factory Tracks Invitational race last weekend. The well-prepped track track offers a really fun, flowing layout with a super smooth surface. The race format was Reedy Race style, with a spec tire and spec sauce and no tire prep allowed and it featured some of the top drivers in the midwest. The schedule saw 4WD on Saturday, with five heads up races with one drop allowed. Xray’s Ty Tessmann had four 1st place and one 2nd place finished, which put him in the lead for 4WD and the lead going into Sunday. Sunday was 2WD race day and again it was Tessmann in the lead with one 2nd, three 1st and a 5th place finish, which again would give him the lead in 2WD and he would also finish 1st for the overall. HB Racing’s Spencer Heckert came in 2nd from TLR’s Mason Fuller 3rd.

RDRP B6.1 black +5mm 7075 aluminium chassis

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their new +5mm 7075 aluminium chassis for the ultra-popular Team Associated B6.1 2WD buggy. The main plate adds 5mm of length for an easier to drive car especially in high-bite track conditions such as carpet and astro turf, allowing to pull faster single laps while offering greater consistency over the whole run at the same time. In addition the chassis will also improve handling on bumpy surfaces where the main plate will ensure improved stability. The chassis is machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium for strength and optimised flex characteristics while the black anodised surface ensures high durability and factory looks. Machined silver edge details and laser-etched RDRP logos make the part stand out. The main plate fits the B6.1 and B6.1D kits and is usable with most “under servo” and “under electronics” weight kits.
