Pro-Line introduce new Bash Armor body shells

Coming from Pro-Line are two new Bash Armor series body shells for the Stampede 4×4 and Pro-MT 4×4 as well as the Slash 2WD and 4×4. The Brute body for the Stampede and Pro-MT as well as the Monster Fusion for the Slash 2WD and 4×4 are both made of Pro-Line’s all-new Bash Armor material that is twice as thick as regular 1:10 truck bodies and ultra-flexible to reduce the chance of cracking and shattering. Unlike clear polycarbonate, the Bash Armor material is white and is not paintable, so Pro-Line includes detailed decal sheets to complete the look.

Winter Indoor Series Rd1 – Report

Last weekend saw the running of the opening round of the Swedish Winter Indoor RB series held in Eskilstuna. The fairly small track was laid out with some old school on-road carpet, making for lower-than-normal traction levels as they are experienced on EOS-style carpet. In the 4WD Buggy class it was Xray’s Alexander Landen with the overall TQ after winning the opening two rounds. As overtaking on the small track was very difficult the pole position would proof to be a real advantage and Alexander was able to bring home the win in A1 with a tone-to-tone win.

The race was held using the new Schumacher Honeycomb control tyre and all competitors in both 2WD and 4WD buggy must now use a brand new pair of marked rear tyres at each event. Entered for this event were some World class drivers, Michal Orlowski, Neil Cragg and Lee Martin, so the racing was going to be brilliant to see. As always it was round by round qualifying as the racing format, with the best two results from four rounds of qualifying counting towards the final position. Qualifying in 2WD saw Neil Cragg take pole position from Michal Orlowski and Lee Martin.

Klinik RC 1/10 off-road & on-road cooling systems

Klinik RC have introduced a new cooling system for 540-size brushless motor and the use with most 1/10th scale buggies and touring cars. The design forces air through the motor instead of letting it flow around the can for a significant drop in operation temperatures. The cooler is constructed from durable material and it is available in three different design: a 90 degree variant for front motor buggies such as the Schumacher KC and most touring cars as well as an inline version for 4WD shaft buggies such as the Team Associated B64, Yokomo YZ4, Tekno EB410, Kyosho ZX6 and Xray XB4. Last but not last is the 45 degree variant for most mid motor buggies such as the B6.1, TLR 22 4.0, Yokomo YZ2, Xray XB2 and Schumacher KC/KD. The shrouds are completely customisable for a clean fit and maximum efficiency and they are paintable to match any recommendation. The kits include the 0.030” thermoformed shroud, four grade 5 billet titanium 3x15mm screws as well as a fan guard and – optionally – a Maclan or WTF HV 30mm fan.
