Yokomo BD9 HVF shock shafts & alloy rear axle Posted: 28 Mar 2019 03:15 AM PDT Coming from Yokomo and made for their BD9 touring car are new HVF fluorine-coated shock shafts and a C-clip type rear aluminium axle shaft. Starting with the shock shafts the 19.1mm long items are a direct fit and thanks to the slick HVF fluorine coating, that was developed in cooperation with Axon, they will ensure even finer shock action, allowing to absorb the smallest of suspension movement for improved traction in all racing condition. The shafts come in sets of four and they are available now. Also new is a C-clip type rear aluminium driveshaft axle for the BD9 with the lightweight part helping to reduce drivetrain weight and thus rotational and unsprung masses. Made of aircraft-grade aluminium and coming with a durable hard-coated surface, the part however is not as strong as the steel counterpart and thus it may become damaged in severe crashes, making it basically a Pro item.

BRCA LMP Nationals Rd6 – Report Posted: 28 Mar 2019 02:19 AM PDT The sixth and final round of the 2018/2019 BRCA 1/12th nationals took place last weekend in Chesterfield. The Chesterfield club is one of the stalwarts of the BRCA national series and this year treated us to new carpet to race on. The club’s members laid a fast flowing track and went the extra mile marking out the corners with kerbs and coloured run off areas making the track look fantastic. A capacity entry of 80 drivers appreciated the clubs efforts and there was a great atmosphere in the hall. On Saturday racers competed in the 13.5 blinky stock championship with the field split into F1, F2 and F3 grades. In F1, this year’s champion David Spashett again demonstrated the form that won the championship and took pole position from Andy Murray with Matthew Varah in third. David and Andy set off nose to tail and pulled a gap from Matt Lax who had moved up to third from fifth on the grid. Andy had a very fast car and was putting pressure on David who put his years of experience to good use and drove a tidy line to keep Andy behind before unfortunately collecting a crashed car allowing Andy through. This time it was David’s turn to give chase and the pair traded almost identical lap times for the next few minutes. Unfortunately contact while lapping a backmarker swapped the lead again and this time David would bring his car home for the win with Andy in a close second. Matt Lax drove a clean controlled drive to complete the top three. F1 Stock final result: In F2, Championship leader Andrew Smith would line up second from Stephane Fiorini who would take his second pole position in as many meetings. Simon Harris would line up third. It was all change in the final with some fierce racing at the front of the field with Andrew Smith making his way to the front. Stephane Fiorini was demoted to third by Josh Coult, who in a fantastic drive, came home second from seventh on the Grid. F2 Stock final result: In F3 it was all to play for as this was the only Championship which had not been decided before this round. The three championship contenders would line up at the front of the grid with Daniel Robins in pole position from Gareth Hollis in second and Martin Harris in fourth. James Eaves would split the contenders lining up in third position. Daniel produced another dominating drive finishing 2 laps up on second place man Gareth Hollis. Martin Harris managed to make up a place and finish in third securing vital championship points but it would be Gareth Hollis who would take the overall to become the BRCA F3 2018/19 Stock Champion, Congratulations Gareth. F3 Stock final result: On Sunday the field was split into Modified and Sports Modified classes. The sports modified class again running 13.5 blinky motors. Modified would see a repeat of the stock grid with David Spashett on pole ahead of Andy Murray and Mark Stiles. A clean start from the leading pair would see some very close racing with Andy in David’s wheel tracks before an uncharacteristic mistake from David would see him tap a barrier and run wide. Andy didn’t need a second invitation and moved into the lead before producing a clean controlled drive to bring home his maiden victory at a BRCA 12th national. Adam Catchpole, fifth on the grid, showed great race pace and made his way up to second place and was beginning to reel in Andy before a slight mistake close to the end of the race would drop him back relinquishing second place to David before finishing in third. Modified final result: In Sports Modified an in form Mark Jewitt returned to the sports class after running in the modified class in the early part of the season and took pole from championship winner Ben Vincent and Mick Farrell in third. Mark continued his form and took a tone to tone win ahead of Josh Coult who in another strong drive came from 5th to finish only a few seconds behind Mark. Mick Farrell would finish off his season with a third position.

HB Racing D8 series front 2-dot B mount Posted: 28 Mar 2019 01:59 AM PDT Coming from HB Racing and made for their 1/8th scale D8 series buggy and truggy platforms is a new 2-dot B front suspension mount. This new B (+0.7mm) front suspension hanger is a middle setting between the 1-dot and 3-dot mounts. It was developed based on feedback from HB Racing’s team drivers as a good all-around setup. The B mount allows racers to fine-tune the front kick-up and roll centre as it controls the location of the rearmost end of the front suspension hinge pins. A higher B mount location makes the car smoother and easier to drive when the grip is high. The mount comes machined from aluminium and is anodised in black for wear and looks.
