Walti Beat wins Swiss 200mm Nats Rd4

Xray are reporting from the 4th and final round of the Swiss 1/10th 200mm Nationals that took place on the first weekend of September in Aigle in the West of Switzerland. With Walti Beat having taken the National title in the previous round the battle was on for the lower places in the championship and this allowed for some exciting racing. Qualifying was difficult for the newly crowned Champion, who missed his 3rd qualifying run and becuase of this he qualified last and was forced to work his way from the quarter final into the main which he did with ease. In the main final Beat had a bad start but was able to push hard and take the lead, followed by the win ahead of Xray team mate Traugott Schar in 2nd with Loris Pierroz in 3rd.

Hudy Torx Screw driver

Hudy Torx Screwdriver

Hudy have announced the latest addition to their lineup of Professional tools, with the addition of a complete range of Torx drivers. Torx head screws are becoming increasingly popular, as their design inherently resists cam-out (the tendency for a bit to twist out of the fastener slot when tightened) better than Phillips head screws, and resists rounding out the screw slot much better than hex slot screws. The range of tools includes 6 different tip sizes (T6, T8, T10, T15, T20 & T25) and all are sold with the hollowed, lightweight duraluminum handles which feature a specially coated anti-slip grip. Replacement tips are also available.
