Juan Carlos Canas claims 2020 Spanish eBuggy title

The 3rd round of the Spanish 1/8th Electric offroad Nationals took place this past weekend at the Circuito Rc Roldan in Murcia. A very technical track with very little grip, qualifying saw Daniel Bernabe (Agama) take the top spot ahead of Juan Carlos Canas (Sworkz) in 2nd. In the finals it was Canas that would come out on top after the triple 10-minute runs as the others made mistakes. The runner up spot went to Manuel Iniesta (Kyosho), with the TQ driver Bernabe having to settle for 3rd. This win also gave Juan Carlos Canas the 2020 national title.

ONG titanium clutch retaining screw

This new ONG clutch retaining screw has been made from grade 5 Titanium due to its better thermal expansion characteristics compared to steel. This will make it possible to unscrew/screw without problems, even with a hot engine. It has a total length of 9mm, of which 6mm are thread, and a protrusion from the crankshaft of only 3mm so as to avoid collisions with the tank in case of excessive flex of the chassis. The new geometry eliminates any rubbing between bearing/bell, while the additional external diameter protects the bearing from dust and foreign debris.
