X Factory are reporting that team driver Stefan Mesker captured TQ honors and won all three A mains at the second round of the Belgian/Dutch Championship series last weekend at Kampenhout, Belgium. The runner up spot went to Wouter Wynen while 3rd spot went to X-Team driver Bruno Heremans, and six X-6 Squareds were in the A including the first, third, and fifth qualifiers. Mesker’s win at Kampenhout is coupled with his win in round one of the Championship, so of course Stefan is on top of the standings.

CML in the UK have signed the current 1/8th scale British Champion Tim Wood to run Savox Servos in 2009. Tim will use the Savox SC-1258 servos to power his Serpent 966 car and joins David Crompton, Elliot Boots, Ellis Stafford & Jon Hazelwood all running the servos with great success. After Tim’s first test at Halifax, he had the following to say:
