Totally Swede!

This just in from Team Orion:
"The 2005 Swedish Championship took place in Eskilstuna, Sweden and was attended by all of Sweden’s top Touring Car drivers. Swedish racing star and Team Orion factory driver, Magnus Vassmar, dominated three of the five qualifying rounds and captured TQ honors, giving him the pole position for the main event. Magnus drove his Revolution V2 12x1 Touring edition motor and V-Max Plus RDS GP3300 SP2 battery powered Schumacher MI2 into victory lane three times during the finals, taking the overall victory and winning the 2005 Swedish Championships Title. Vassmar used Team Orion’s Advantage Charger, Hard JB Wheels and JB Foam Blue Thin tire inserts to win the championship."

Team Losi Matt Francis Edition Triple-XT
Move over Brian, Matt Francis now has a signature truck! Matt's well-known red motif visually separates his namesake ride from a standard-issue Triple-XT, and in typical signature-vehicle fashion, the Matt Francis Edition includes just about every performance upgrade part Losi offers. Here's the list:
  • Graphite composite chassis and suspension components
  • Hard-coated, machined-aluminum slipper shaft and top gear
  • Ball-bearing steering
  • Titanium-nitride-coated, gold shock shafts
  • Threaded, hard-coated shock bodies with molded preload collars
  • MIP CVD drive shafts
  • Red-anodized-aluminum front hinge-pin brace
  • Red anodized, ball-milled motor plate
  • Red-anodized front axles
  • Machined-titanium turnbuckles
  • New "Fury" body and Special Edition stickers
  • Red aluminum rear hinge-pin brace
  • Red front and rear bumpers, body mounts, wheels and rod ends
Suh-weet! The Matt Francis Edition will cost more than a standard Triple-XT (duh), but you'll save megabucks compared with the cost of buying the upgrades separately.

RC Pro Series Finals: big wins for Taylor James, controversy in Unlimited Monster

RC Pro Series Finals: big wins for Taylor James, controversy in Unlimited Monster

Sun Valley Speedway, Sun Valley, CA: Team Associated/Thunder Tiger's Taylor James won the Pro 1/10 and Pro 1/8 classes at the RC Pro Finals. In Pro 1/8, Jammin' drivers Chad Bradley and Adam Drake were one and two, but Bradley’s receiver pack came unplugged giving the lead to Drake... Drake led for a while until a drivetrain malfunction took him out, handing the lead to Taylor, who finished with a comfortable lead over second-place finisher Marty Korn of GS Racing and Ho Bao's Greg Degani in third. Bradley battled with Mugen’s Bobby Tillman in an Unlimited Monster Truck show stopper that came down to the last lap.Bradley crashed in front of pit row and fellow Jammin' driver Dean Sexton. Dean, who was pitting for Jay Halsey at the time, jumped out and marshaled Bradley’s truck just as Tillman was passing for the lead. Tillman made an aggressive move to the inside on the next turn and had to be marshaled, giving Bradley the win. Mugen protested the win because Sexton was not a marshal or Bradley’s pit man, but Bradley was not docked and retained the win.

Tamiya 1/8-scale TNX Monster Truck

Tamiya 1/8-scale TNX Monster Truck

Tamiya's Terra Crusher follow-up is called the TNX, and lops nearly 4 pounds off the original truck (3.5-4lbs, depending on who you ask). Much of the weight savings comes from the smaller-diameter, thinner-carcass tires--and we all know how all-important rotating weight is. Other major changes include an O.S.-built .18 engine, and a new chassis that spans from shock tower to shock tower (as you'll recall, the Terra Crusher's chassis plate stopped short of the front suspension, where a plastic nose section with integrated electronics box took over). Electric starting returns, but reverse does not.- FS-18RS engine
- Pre-painted Body
- 3.5lbs. lighter than the Terra Crusher
- Claimed speed in excess of 40mph
- Electric start
- Two-speed forward only transmission
