More new stuff from H.A.R.D. Racing, this time its the introduction of their new 1/10 Touring Car Quick Set Up System. Similar to the others currently on the market, including the original Hudy setup system, the new HARD version differs slightly in that the measurements are shown on the top of the side plate while the camber plate pivots from the bottom and not hanging from the top as with many other systems which is meant to provide a more accurate reading. The system itself is made from black anodised aluminum and comes supplied with the acrylic toe plate.

Serpent has released this latest LCG orange anodised engine mono block for use with 12 size engines in the Serpent 720 which drops the engine by 1.5mm and thus helps lower the cars centre of gravity. Suitable for Picco and Novarossi based motors, this block ensures the engine mounting points are kept aligned reducing stress on the crankcase, which allows the engine to rev freer. The extra material used in the blocks, and with the addition of fins, also allow extra cooling to the crankcase and ensure the centre of gravity is kept as low as possible.

The fourth round of the BRCA electric buggy Nationals was held last weekend on the grass surfaced Oswestry track, close to the England – Wales border. The track was damp for most of Saturday and Sundays running took place in even wetter conditions, with the event being called during the first round of finals. The 2wd class was won by Losi driver Darren Bloomfield who also took the TQ while in 4wd it was once again Lee Martin that took the TQ, and due to the cancellation of the finals, his qualifying position translated into the win. oOple also have an interview with X-Factory designer Paul Sinclair, who was over from the US for this event, and last weeks Belgian GP.
