Also available is a full 8-piece set.

RC Belgium has introduced a new conversion kit for the Schumacher Cougar KC buggy. Designed to make the KC even more versatile, the kit features three new transmission positions: Position 1.5 utilises a 108T belt for high grip conditions, position 2.5 uses a 74T belt for high grip conditions and position 3.5 runs a 62T belt for medium grip. Position 1.5 and 2.5 are best used when grip is high to very high such as on carpet. Position 3.5 is ideal for medium grip astro. A 16T pulley removes the need for the idler gears and creates a new internal ratio of 1.875:1. The kit is compatible with a total of 52 different belts ranging from 62T to 114T while the same pair of topdecks is used for all the transmission positions. The chassis and topdeck design also makes it possible to fine-tune the motor position as well as the battery position. Optional LiPo straps are included to remove the side pods for additional flex characteristics.
The BRCA 1/10th Off-Road National Series made its way down south for round 3 last weekend, at the TORCH Model Car Club in Titchfield, near Southampton. As with the previous rounds, a full entry of 120 drivers was present over the two days of 2WD and 4WD competition, with blue skies and high temperatures setting the scene for some fast paced action on the astroturf track. On Saturday’s 2WD portion of the event and despite the warm weather, traction was in relatively short supply during practice as many drivers struggled to find consistency on the challenging layout. No such issues however for Yokomo’s Lee Martin. Always tough to beat at the TORCH facility, Martin would set the pace in all four qualifiers to claim the bonus TQ point early. Championship rival and defending National Champion Neil Cragg would put his Associated 2nd on the grid with Martin’s team mate Tom Cockerill rounding out the top 3, though Martin’s gap over the field looked ominous.
