T-Work’s have introduced a set of carbon fibre servo mount spacers. The set includes three pairs of 1.0mm, 2.0mm and 2.5mm thick carbon fiber servo mount spacers to provide your servo with a rigid mounting surface to ensure that your servo stays tight and the screws don’t loosen as the plastic shims compress over time as the plastic shims compress over time. The servo mount spacers increase also the overall clearance.

The second round of Annual Beat the Hype Trophy Race was held last weekend at the PCRC Raceway in Bolivar, Missouri. Matthew Pyle (XRAY) swept all three rounds of qualifying in both the 2WD Buggy and 4WD Buggy classes, though TQ was determined via “Rocket Round”. In finals, everything worked out great for Pyle and he managed to take the win in both classes. The XRAY duo of Damon Teel and Scott Neeman rounded out the top 3 in 4WD while Scott Neeman (XRAY) and Nick Cummins completed the podium in 2WD.

This past weekend was held the second round of the Finnish 1/10 Buggy Nationals at the Fullspeed RC track in Vantaa. In the 2WD Modified class Joona Haatanen (Team Associated) took the TQ and started from the pole position. Haatanen was also able to win all three finals in front of Joel Valander (XRAY) in second and Karri Salmela (Team Associated) in third. In the 4WD Modified class it was again fight for the TQ between Salmela, Haatanen and Valander and eventually Haatanen grabbed the overall TQ. The finals were a carbon copy of the 2WD finals, Haatanen winning all three finals with little gap from Valander and Salmela.
