RSRC, the brand of multiple European 1:8 Buggy Champion and factory Kyosho driver Reno Savoya, is now offering this 150 litre trolley bag. Ideal for traveling with all your rc gear, this durable trolley bag is also very light. Almost 3kg lighter than the popular Ogio bag, this gives you the option to carry 3kg more RC stuff when you travel by plane! With many internal pockets another feature of the bag is its square shape so it fits properly in cars and trucks.
T-Works has added this new Shock Tool to its range which is intended for Yokomo’s M0 1:10 4WD Electric Buggies’ 13mm big bore shocks. The hard black coated aluminium 2 piece tool helps ensure precise positioning and installation and offers leverage for optimal tightening of the shocks after each rebuild.

Following the release of its ArcCuter last week, German based MOPS has announced its TireEditor. Describing it as ‘a must-have for every touring car driver’, the device was developed in collaboration with the elite of the touring car scene and has proven its worth at various races, such as the ETS. The MOPS Tire Editor breaks down all excess adhesive residue within the tire and also the fabric structure. The insert is virtually massaged and distributed more evenly across the rim. The result is significantly increased true running and improved adhesion.
Schumacher’s Michal Orlowski completed an impressive unbeaten run in the ETS over the weekend as he notched up win number 10 in as many races. Having already successfully defended his Modified title at the previous round in Germany, at the season finale in Austria the Pole would wrap up the season with the TQ and victory. Making the switch back to carpet for the event following his impressive TITC debut win last month, Orlowski topped all four qualifiers to secure the TQ ahead of Mugen Seiki’s Ronald Volker and Awesomatix Marc Rheinard. While he got the better of Orlowski with his new MTC-3 at the recent MIBO International, in the final Volker could do nothing about the pole sitter and backing up his A1 win another, albeit closer win, in A2 the fifth round was decided. Winning A3 from Rheinard, Volker would finish P2 for the round but in the overall in the championship he finished third behind Rheinard. In Pro Stock Sören Sparbier gave Mugen their second win with the new MTC-3 to finish runner-up in the championship behind Awesomatix’s Lukas Ellerbrock who ccomplete the podium in Vienna behind Xray’s Adam Izsay. In FWD, 4th place was enough for Schumacher’s Márk Valent to secure the title ahead of Yokomo’s Frederik Hovgaard while victory at the fifth round saw Phil Langner complete the Championship Top 3.

After months of proving the car’s ability on track with Ronald Volker, Jacob Cruz and Soren Sparbier, Mugen Seiki has finally unveiled its highly anticipated MTC-3 electric touring car kit. The MTC-3 is an evolution of the highly successful MTC-2 and MTC-2R platform with the prototype first raced at the 2024 IFMAR World Championship, where the two MTC-3’s entered in the event both made the A-Main with Volker finishing 4th and Jacob Cruz finishing 10th. The MTC-3 is a complete new design from Robert Pietsch with the only parts transfer over from the MTC-2R being drive shafts, spool, diff, and drive belts. The MTC-3 features a 1.5mm aluminium chassis and a unique top deck design and short shocks round out a new new suspension package.
