FSEARA Rd2 Coral Spring – Report

Another strong 85 entries event at the Coral Spring RC club for the 2nd round of the FSEARA series. It was a successful event although mother nature totally destroyed the day of practice on Saturday, with the rain destroying both the track condition as well as the pit area. The start of Sunday morning was another rain out, forcing the event to have a further delay. With both the delay and Daylight saving time change, the FSEARA had to change its original 3 rounds of qualifiers to 2 rounds and extend the practice time. As many drivers were coming from out of town it was important to get some track time for the first time after the rain delay at around 10am. With only 2 hours of open practice it was an intense battle royale practice with all classes on the track at the same time.

Element RC Enduro Gatekeeper Buggy RTR rock crawler

Element RC have released a RTR version of their Enduro Gatekeeper Buggy rock crawler. Previously only available as a kit, it now comes in two different RTR sets, both with brushless electronics, transmitter and receiver, while only the LiPo combo comes with charger and battery pack. Packed full of performance features the Gatekeeper Suspension package consists of rear trailing arms that move the shocks forward, allowing a larger window for shock tuning and providing improved weight bias. The trailing arms are paired with a rear anti-roll bar for a more stable and consistent suspension when crawling on the rocks. An adjustable aluminium track bar mount firmly bolted to the chassis rail gives the Enduro GK more reliable and responsive steering without the flex. The shock mount inserts with multiple mounting positions allow for precise suspension tuning, whether it’s moving the shocks up, down, forward, or back.

Team Powers Cup double for Lex Tyler

The Team Powers Cup was held at Norcal Hobbies this past weekend in San Jose Ca. Normally this race happens in April but due to Covid 19, it has been extended to November which made racing a little more challenging since it is winter time. Racers got a late start on practice as track surface was wet the night before. For the 13.5 TC class it was a tie breaker between Xray driver Lex Tyler and Sean Guthrie to decide the title. This is a heads up format schedule for 6 rounds structured with Can-Am fixed motor timing and fixed gearing. The spec tires were Team Powers 34SU. Racers had to pick a motor for Saturday and give back to shuffle with a different motor on Sunday and this all keeps an even playing field.
