Schumacher double joint drive shafts

Schumacher is pleased to announce their new Mi5evo Double Joint Drive Shafts, and super high quality Pro Ball Bearings. These new double joint drive shafts are made from super tough Spring Steel and are a replacement for the old G884 drive shafts. The new design is much stronger, less likely to bend or break in a hefty impact, and is of a higher quality.

Double joint drive shafts allow greater corner speed due to less binding and natural braking associated with regular universal joint drive shafts. This part also comes with a new high quality inner Pro ball bearing which is 3mm in width rather than the standard 4mm to allow the centre of the drive shaft to sit further into the hub carrier as close as possible to the steering pivot, for maximum efficiency.

It has a larger diameter for more strength which means it needs to be used with the new modified hub carrier which is supplied.

For the super serious racer always striving for the last 1/10th of a second Schumacher has introduced their range of Pro Ball Bearings. Firstly to fit in the micro caster block for the Mi5 and Mi5evo, these bearings significantly reduce the amount of play in this area. Secondly a Pro Bearing for axles/hub carriers, super high quality. And finally the replacement inner bearing for the new double joint drive shafts, high precision.

Bittydesign preview 1/8 lexan wing

Always ones keen on giving us previews of their as-yet unannounced products, Davide of Bittydesign brought with him a prototype version of their new 1/8 nitro buggy lexan wing – the company following the market trend which has seen many racers adopt the distinctive yet sponsor unfriendly lexan wings – used by the best in the business.
Whilst not the first lexan wing we’ve seen, Bittydesign have taken their time to study market demand especially with downforce in mind – market feedback suggesting that some of the wings already released produce too much resulting in a ‘parachute effect’, with holes & trimming required, hence Bittydesign’s continued R&D to find the ideal balance.

The wish being that racers should be able to simple use it ‘straight out of the package’ rather than tinkering and modding too much – ‘make it right the first time’.

As expected from a company located in Italy, the team have utilised several top Italian drivers to test the product as well as European top drivers, we’re told the final version can be expected around June and there will be a few differences to the prototype shown

Hupo Hönigl doubles at Austrian EP Buggy Nats Rd1

The opening round of the Austrian 1/10th Off-road Nationals was held at the old school track of the SMRC Vienna club, a super slippery, bumpy and dusty affair whose layout offered good fun for most of the drivers thanks to difficult sections and lots of elevation changes. At the end of the weekend veteran racer Hupo Hönigl made the best out of the track conditions to take the wins in both the 2WD and 4WD classes.

LAST RESAULTS FROM PORTUGESE NATS.RD.2

Matias wins Portuguese Nats Rd.2

Round 2 of the Portuguese 1/8 Nationals was held this past weekend. Qualifying was dominated by Ricardo Monteiro, who captured the overall TQ after heat 1 and heat 2 victories. Varying weather conditions played a major role in car setup and racing for Sunday’s final. Monteiro would start second to Miguel Matias after the semi-finals. Matias left the line in first, never looked back, and began gapping the field. A late race flameout by Matias brought hope for Monteiro in second, however, even the mishap for Miguel was not enough to hand over the win. Miguel Matias would clinch the victory with Ricardo Monteiro second, and Nuno Rebelo third.

MIP’s new AE T5M Pucks system

April 27, 2015 - 18:50 by Mike Garrison 0 Comments

The next generation stadium truck is here, the Team Associated T5M, and so comes the ultimate drivetrain system; MIP’s Bi-Metal R-CVD’s. With a rock solid design proven by the B5M, this new MIP Pucks system is perfect for all T5M owners looking for an edge in the stock spec classes. This design is unlike C-CVD’s as it features a keyed joint made out of hardened alloy steel that connects to 7075 hard anodized aluminum. This feature allows you to lighten up the drivetrain without sacrificing the durability that steel components offer. Also with this R-CVD design it couples your original axle components with the MIP Bi-Metal bone to keep costs low and give you the essentials to transfer over to MIP’s Pucks system! Of course the system is accompanied by 7075 hard anodized aluminum outdrives and the necessary components to build your aluminum puck diff. 100% Made in the USA.
