AKA Super Soft Compound tires
AKA have announced for the iHobby show the addition of a ‘Super Soft’ compound to their line up of tires. The ‘Super Soft’ or V compound as is noted in the part number is for cooler conditions when the track is transitioning from wet to a drier hard packed line that is not quite grooved in. Great for winter and early spring racing conditions the Super Soft still retains the relative long lasting wear characteristics that AKA is known for while providing that extra measure of traction for the trickiest of surface conditions. This new compound is available in all tread patterns for both buggy and truggy.

Tobias Hepp in the 1/8 class and Sebastian Buerge in the 1/10 class are the first champions in the newly established NRW Challenge (NRW = German State North Rhine-Westphalia), a series of three races held in the last three month on the permanent tracks of Dueren, Oberhausen and Bad Breisig. A total of 72 racers, 32 in 1/8 scale and 40 in the 1/10 200mm category entered the three races which all were held at positive atmosphere and with hot racing action. The main characteristic of this new championship has been long races with 30 minutes for semis and 45 minutes for the finals. These unusual long and exhausting racing times have been highly accepted by the drivers and a new experience for most of them. The NRW Challenge will be continued in 2010 with three to five races administered through the whole season.
In 1/8 scale Serpent youngster Tobias Hepp achieved two wins and one fifth place and collected a maximum of 400 points out of the best two results. In the ranking he is followed by Serpent fellow Ralf Vahrenkamp with one second and one third and a total of 371 points. Third place went to Frank Schewiola (Serpent/Mugen) with 363 points.
