The German 1/10th scale nationals were held last weekend at the Hamm track and wet weather limited running on the Saturday’s qualifying runs. With only 2 runs that mattered it was European B Champion Dirk Wischnewski that took the top spot from Sebastian Bürge, Rene Püpke and Frederik Südhof. In the final Dirk was never challenged and went on to win from Xray team mates Ralf Krause and Robert Pietsch.

With Steve O’Donnell’s name on these tools, modelers are assured of quality and performance. Heat-treated stainless steel tips are precision ground for proper fit, while extra-long shanks are stepped for strength and permit easier access to hard-to-reach fasteners. Comfortable, molded handles won’t roll around on pit tables and the bright orange color lets modelers know exactly where to find their tools when they put them down. Available in a wide range of sizes and types, the tip size is conveniently laser-etched into the anodized handle inserts for easy identification.

Xray have released these CNC-machined diff drive shaft adapters for T2’008 Composite Solid Axle, made from premium lightweight Swiss 7075 T6 aluminium. The alu driveshaft adapters for the front solid axle are a direct replacement for the stock composite versions but with increased strength and lifespan. The modular design of the front solid axle allows for easy removal and servicing. Internal slots key to drive shaft pins require use of the included driveshaft blades, enabling direct power transfer to the wheels and eliminating excess play between the outdrives and drive shafts.
