The Drake was in touch to tell us about his success at last weekend’s RCX show put on by U.S. magazine RCCA. Presented by ‘The Dirt’, a small but challenging track was built to allow some of the best off road racers put on a show for the crowds at the show and in the truggy class it was Adam Drake, driving his Novarossi powered Losi 8ight T 2.0, that took home the win and with it the $500 cash prize.

Team Titan have released a semi painted version of their popular Blitz Lola R09 1/8th scale body. Available with a nice flame design on the front of the car in green/blue or yellow/orange, the rear of the body and driver is left clear to allow you express your artistic side, however I’m sure most will end up getting a single colour. The Lola 09 has high rear body mounts, providing lots of rear downforce and they have also added 2 small wings in front of each wheel arch for better steering reaction and downforce. The semi painted versions are only available in 0.9mm thickness.
