Hudy introduce their all new line of hard coated aluminium ultra light pinion gears. These high-strength pinion gears have been made from tough 7075 T6 aluminium and specially hard coated for superior strength, light weight and high durability. Heavily machined for the lowest possible rotating mass while maintaining strength. Created on a special gear machine, all pinions feature ultra-precise tooth shaping and ultra-true running for vibration-free operation. Fine internal threading allows easy installation and each pinion is fine etched with the tooth number for quick & easy identification.

They are made of high-quality stainless steel and sport a protective surface coating that not only reduces wear but also adds visual impact with its stealthy black look. The tweezers come in handy when having to deal with all sorts of small parts such as shims, washers, tiny screws or differential internals such as diff balls or gears. To finish off the look, the high-quality tweezers sport the Ruddog logo.

Continuing to expand their Vision buggy body shell line-up Bittydesign have released a version for the HB Racing D819RS buggy. The lid’s design will offer an easier to drive and more balanced feeling thanks to a mid-advanced cab, side pod and rear side flaps shape that optimises the aerodynamic characteristics. In addition a flap behind the engine area guides the air towards the rear wing for a smoother and more directed airflow around the shock tower and lower wing mount. The pre-cut body is moulded from high-quality 1mm Lexan polycarbonate, it comes with window masks, overspray protective film and a decal sheet.

Postponed from March due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Malaysia National Championships took place last weekend and for the first time in its history was run alongside another race series, the Arrowmax Cup. A much anticipated race as everyone was not able to race for the last 5 months they received more than 70 entries across 4 different classes, ranging from 13.5T Boosted, 17.5T Blinky GT, 17.5T FWD and 17.5T Racing Truck. With Arrowmax being the main sponsor for the series, the controlled tire was the 30 shore Asphalt NC tires.

Right off the bat it was Wong Kokwai, driving his Orca powered Awesomatix MMX that took the TQ spot in the 1st qualifying round of 13.5T Boosted to secure the only 20 lapper with a time of 5:15.886, with Michael Lo, also with his Orca powered Awesomatix MMX following closely with a 19 laps, 5:01.310. Third was Azri Amri driving his Orca Powered Xpress XQ10, with a 19 laps, 5:02.152. These positions would be held constant while the rest of the A Main was made up by some very fast drivers utilising their 2nd set of allocated tires to climb further up the A Main grid.

Final 1 was a tough fight between Wong Kokwai and Michael Lo as they exchanged positions numerous time through the 5 minutes nearly coming into each other’s path on more than 1 occasion, but being teammates, they knew where to draw the line and not jeopardise each other’s race. As Azri struggled in Final 1 and was only able to come in 5th for Final 1.

Final 2 was pretty much a Wong Kokwai walk over as he was gone from the get go and never to be seen while Michael Lo was hampered a little by his car’s setup and was having a little fight with Shahrin who qualified 4th on the grid, coming in side by side in one of the corners, but Michael Lo was luckier to have got off without any issue and went on to take 2nd in Final 2 with Shahrin finishing 3rd.

Final 3 was not so exciting for Wong Kokwai as he has already won the race with 2 x 1st positions, Michael Lo basically guaranteed a 2nd position with 2 x 2nd positions, it was a battle between the rest for the 3rd position. From the get go, it was Wong Kokwai again leading with Michael Lo having a little slide on the first lap which allowed Azri to pass to take 2nd and eventually Azri would be able to pass Wong Kokwai as Wong Kokwai was not in contention for the points. While Shahrin would pass Michael Lo in pursuit to the front 2 runners on lap 4. It was Wong Kokwai who was pushing Azri Amri for the position while Shahrin was not able to make any headway to catch Azri Amri for the next three and a half minutes, allowing Azri Amri to take Final 3.
