Titanium Racing release a new range of pinions designed specifically for modern brushless motors. Featuring a longer but lightened boss for improved concentricity and an advanced F1 motorsport ceramic polymer coating for incredibly low friction, the pinion has 60% lower friction than that of hard anodized pinions. Manufactured from ultrasonically tested aero-grade 7075T-6 alloy, these claim to represent a giant leap in pinion gear technology. Tested on all modern touring cars, with all of the popular spurs, they run virtually silently. Available in both 48P and 64P.

The 2nd round of the Spanish 1/8th scale National series was held earlier this month at the Club Autet Track in Almussafes, host of last years 1/8th scale European Championships. Once again the race saw 70 drivers registered and the hot sunny weather let the drivers enjoy a nice racing weekend. Following qualifying Oscar Cabezas got the TQ spot followed by local driver Nacho López, current Champion Josué Artiles and Sergio Montesinos. In the final Josué Artiles made a great start and overtook Óscar Cabezas, who was running with big tires so as to not have to change, and in the very first laps set a pace that no one else could follow and so could take the win from Cabezas. There was an interesting fight for the third place involving three drivers, which finally went the way of former Spanish Champion Sergio Montesinos with Israel Solís and Víctor González eventually taking 4th and 5th respectively.
