More new brass items from Yeah Racing, this time for the Traxxas TRX-6. This brass middle axle cover weighs 76grams, meaning you can gain more traction from your tires by adding this extra weight to your chassis. Better still it is added to the bottom of the chassis through changing the stock interconnecting cover to brass.

Last weekend was the first race of the Southern Ontario onroad Championship series at Outlaw RC Motorsports, home of the Canadian On-Road Nationals. The Outlaw crew put on a great event and took lots of extra precautions to keep us all safe and healthy. In TC Mod Barret Morrow (Xray) managed to TQ but would only finish in 3rd overall after some setup changes. The win would go to Bryce Frechette (Xray), just ahead of Lou Vanderway in 2nd. In TC Stock Bryce Frechette qualified first, but it was Lou Vanderway that would take home the win with Barret Morrow taking 2nd and Frechette having to settle for 3rd.

Fenix Racing have introduced their new G12 1/12th scale chassis featuring the company’s V-link rear suspension. The G12 has been tested in different environments and tracks, in Europe and Japan, with a huge development done by Mr. Kimihiko Yano and his team. The rear end sports 5 different roll centres positions, to grant you the most precise setup, to get the most from your rear tyres. Multiple side links are used to set the rear bump steer in the best way possible and for the front end they tested several solutions, but nothing come close to the CRC front end. Camber, caster and dynamic caster, everything is easy to work on and on top of that, the CRC front end has proven to be super reliable.
