Martin Achter crowned 2wd World Champion
Having qualified on pole position, securing the position with another leg win in qualifying today, Martin Achter of Germany is the new 2wd World Champion. In an event only attended by 17 drivers it was actually Craig Laughton that won the first leg of the final but Achter responded by going out and winning both second and third legs with very cool driving. Craig ended up as runner up with Albert Claassons taking 3rd, with the top 3 unchanged from how they qualified. The 4wd class gets underway tomorrow with practice, where Martin will begin as favourite once more, driving the new Durango DEX410.

Exotek Racing HBX LiPo Chassis for Cyclone
Exotek Racing have released the high performance multi adjustment HBX balanced LiPo chassis for the Hot Bodies Cyclone. With the unique CNC manufactured stainless steel weights the LiPo battery can be positioned to have equal left and right balance within grams without the need to add lead weight and without raising the battery up higher. Completely compatible with all Cyclone chassis’, it is designed and tested to equalize lateral flex. No more inconsistent flex problems caused by 6 large battery cut outs like in the stock chassis resulting is much more predictable handling. The 2mm thick chassis mimics the flex of the stock chassis, but by deleting the 6 NiMh battery cut outs it effectively stiffens the chassis so reducing the thickness to 2mm puts a little flex back into the chassis for improved traction.
