New for the Infinity IF14 II, Creation Model have produced a new batch of products based around their new floating electronic plate set. The floating electronics plate allows the receiver, ESC and motor cooling fan to be easily installed and removed from the chassis, helping with maintenance and allowing for quicker chassis changes. The graphite electronics plate floats off the main chassis by either attaching to a centre weight or an aluminium electronics plate mount to avoid affecting the chassis flex. The brass centre weight comes in at 15 grams and additional 7.5 gram balance weights can added to the centre weight to help balance your car. The 7.5 gram weight can also be mounted without the 15 gram centre weight by mounting it to an aluminium plate mount if necessary. The centre weight can also function as a chassis stiffener by adding an extra screw to the chassis. In addition Creation Model have produced an aluminium cooling fan mount that can also be added to allow installation of a 30mm size fan for cooling the motor. This mount is available in anodised black or red.

MSE Performance Parts Germany have released some new carbon options for the Mugen MBX8 buggy. First up this extended battery box for easy installation of your batteries without the cable chaos. Recommended for use with the Mugen Seiki rubber grommet for better cable routing and sealing, the top carbon plate gives it that factory look and comes with an engraved MSE logo. Also for the MBX8 are a pair of 2mm thick carbon lower arm plates for both the front and the rear. These torsion-resistant carbon plates work best in very hot weather conditions and high grip surfaces or carpet tracks.

Having covered the mod classes from the 13th Annual Surf City Classic that was held this past weekend at OCRC Raceway, the action was no less exciting in the Stock classes. In the 13.5 4wd Buggy class, it was Yokomo driver Matthew Gonzales that would get the TQ spot for the single 10-minute A-main ahead of Matthew Williby. As the tone went off, 5th place starter Jake Thayer got off to a great start and would find himself in 2nd place by the end of lap 2. He would then slowly begin catching the leader Gonzales during the next few minutes of the race by putting in fast and consistent laps. Right at the halfway point of the A-Main, the Yokomo/Muchmore driver made a great pass for the lead and would hold it to the end to take an impressive win. Matthew Gonzales would have to settle for 2nd with Matthew Williby completing the podium in 3rd.

In the 13.5 2wd class it saw a dominant performance by Davey Batta, the Associated/R1 Wurks driver taking all 4 rounds of qualifying to start from pole position in front of Matthew Gonzales and Jake Thayer. In the 10-minute main Batta didn’t let up and would crush the competition to win by over 13 seconds as the top 3 starters maintained their positions with Gonzales taking 2nd and Thayer 3rd.

In the 17.5 Stadium Truck class, it was TLR driver Wayne Wyrick who was fastest in qualifying and he would start the race just in front of Tanner Ashmore and David Lindsay. As the race started Yokomo/Muchmore driver Ashmore could took full advantage of a first lap crash to take the lead. He would begin to pull away from the competition and would cruise home for the win by over a half a lap up on Matthew Williby, who just edged out Wayne Wyrick in 3rd, the pair separated by less than a second at the end.
