Last weekend saw the first round of the German National Championships for 1/8th scale buggies held on the multi surface Oberhausen track. Weather was great all weekend and it was the debut race for the RT Tourex X300 tires with 8 racers using them in the main final. At the end of the 40 minutes it was Daniel Reckward that took the win for Kyosho, followed closely by team mate Tim Bremicker in 2nd with LRP driver Patrick Feschtschenko in 3rd, 2 laps down on the leading pair.

Also new from LRP releases is their next generation LiPo batteries. Specially developed for extreme power delivery and runtime, just charge and drive. With unbelievable capacities, LRP breaks down the next barrier and is heading for new limits. Featuring a transparent blue durable hard case to keep the cells from being damaged during use, the new LiPo 5300 features same measurement as 6-cell Sub C battery cell, and fit in all standard 1/10th scale on road and off road cars. Thanks to bulges on the base of the case, the pack fits securely into standard Sub C pre-cut chassis and battery holders.
