In the Mini class T.O.P. team member Cameron Wagner had a challenge to get his new car dialled in for the race against some very experienced mini racers. The first qualifiers were a bit rough but in the end he was able to secure the TQ spot. In the race Cameron led from start to finish, one lap ahead of the close race for second by Jaime Manzanilla and Willie Fok.

Associated RC10 TC6.2 Factory Team kit

Associated RC10TC6.2 Factory Team kit

Seen at the recent ETS Rd1 the RC10 TC6.2 Factory Team kit builds on the very successful ROAR and BRCA national championship-winning TC6 platform and adds many performance-enhancing upgrades which take the chassis to the next level of performance. New for the TC6.2 is the updated bulkhead, top plate and chassis configuration that allow flex to be optimized by disconnecting the drivetrain bulkheads and suspension mounting systems. This new arrangement allows a predictable flex through the entire length of chassis, giving maximum grip on any track surface. At only 88mm wide and 2.25mm thick, the new TC6.2 carbon fiber chassis remains very narrow, resulting in reduced drag during the hardest cornering.

RDRP RB6 aluminium mid motor wing mount

Revolution Design Racing Products announce the soon release of the aluminium wing mount set for mid motor converted Kyosho RB6 buggies. Machined from 7075-T6 aluminium and coming black anodised the wing mount is not only a lot more durable than the kit parts but also makes for a more solid base especially for larger or heavier wings, meaning improved aerodynamic efficiency. It is a direct fit on the stock plastic shock tower and also perfectly matches with RDRP’s soon-to-be-released carbon fibre rear shock tower set. As usual the parts sport a stealthy black colour and laser-etched logos for a cool factory look.
