The 2017 Mugen Challenge was hosted by LCRC in Oakland Mills, Pennsylvania last weekend. In Pro Nitro Buggy and continuing his success from The Wicked Weekend, Cole Ogden (Mugen) was once again on fire at the Mugen Challenge. Feeling the flow early on, Cole was able to qualify himself in the top position where he led for the entire 45-minute A-final.

RDRP B64 aluminium differential cases

Available now from Revolution Design Racing Products are aluminium front, centre and rear differential cases for the Team Associated B64 buggy. They were developed to keep the drivetrain as consistent as possible over the whole run. The cases are machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and they sports a heatsink design to further help with heat dissipation. Using the cases not only improves the precision of the drivetrain, the greatly improved heat transfer also keeps the diff oil much cooler – compared to using the standard plastic case – which results in a much more consistent drivetrain behaviour over the full run; even in high ambient temperatures. The diff cases come hard anodised for wear and looks and they includes a set of suitable inner cross pins for the internal gears. The part fits all B64 buggies equipped with the standard gear differentials and they are available separately for the front/rear as well as the centre diffs.

Pro-Line introduce new carpet & indoor buggy tyres

Pro-Line Racing have introduced their new Prism 4WD front carpet, Pyramid astro turf rear and Inversion indoor rear tyres for 1/10th scale off-road buggies. Starting with the uniquely looking Prism 2.2″ front buggy tyre, it features tons of ultra-sSharp Prism shaped pins in the middle of the tyre combined with wedge style pins on the outside for massive forward grip without the edgy feel of pin tyres. The pins on the Prism are slightly smaller than the original Pin Point tyre but there are many more of them, which results in faster and more consistent lap times. The Prism pins have been positioned with the knife edge pointed front to back and side to side for maximum grip and to stay sharp even as they wear down.
