If you’re like me and love Traxxas products then there is something in store for us all in the next couple days.

On October 8th Traxxas is releasing details on a brand new product!

 There is a lot of speculation and anticipation as to what it could be. Some people are saying it could be a rock crawler, another revo, or a short course truck, but really noone knows.

You can see their teaser video here.

Any guesses as to what it might be…?

The opening round of the European Pan Series for 1/12th scale took place last weekend in Germany and saw just over 40 drivers competing in both the Pro Stock and Modified classes, with the former being the most popular. Serpent driver Markus Mobers, one of the series organisers, took the top qualifying spot in both classes and would go on to win both classes with European Stock class Champion Marc Fisher taking the runner up spot both times. In the Pro Stock class it was Vesa Yli that took the 3rd spot, while in the modified class it was Daniel Sieber that was 3rd. Interestingly Mobers was testing a new prototype S120 link car in the Modified class, while retaining the T-bar for Pro Stock.

Round 9 of the Puerto Rico Nationals were held last weekend and after 2 rounds of qualifiers the racing got underway in the afternoon, with 45 minute A-Mains in all categories. In the Sedan class, TQ spot went to Andy Báez, but early problems in the main drop him down out of a podium spot, making it easy for Kyosho team driver Pedro Alvarado to take the win with 5 laps advantage over 2nd position, Mugen Driver Juan Rodríguez, with RC America driver Tory Santiago in 3rd. In the 1/8 class Mugen Team Driver Andy Báez set the pace and took the win in an easy victory over team mate Fernando Méndez in second and new Kyosho driver Jaime Ramos.

Thanks to Zobeida Ocasio for the report.

The Asian Open took place at the RC Addict raceway in Bangkok, one of the World’s best RC tracks. New Team Orion signing Jilles Groskamp went on to take a great TQ in the 10 minutes qualification, using the latest Team Orion Alpha engine and fuel in the still prototype Shepherd 1/10 on road car. The race also attracted World class drivers like Surikarn C. and Meen V. and so it was sure to be a great battle, and it was for the first 15 minutes in the one hour long final. The final started with pole man Jilles asking for a 10 minutes delay to fix a broken one way bearing and so he would have to start from dead last position. But with a sensational start, it took him 3 minutes to close in to the leading pack of Surikarn and Meen, and for 15 minutes the battle was on, with the lead changing often due to the different fuel stops strategies. After 20 minutes it was clear that it was going to be Jilles’ race and only a technical problem could stop him taking the win. With 3 minutes to go Jilles pushed once more, to set the fastest lap times of the race ending up with an advantage of 7 laps over Meen, who took the runner up spot.
