Beta BE1-2808 HV Ultra Torque digital servo
See: Nemo Racing
Coming soon from Beta is the BE1-2808 HV Ultra Torque digital servo. Developed and tested relentlessly for months by the Nemo Racing team, the BE1 was created for the race to enhance performance. This servo features a full metal gear set, ball bearings, removable shielded lead and it comes with a black-colour aluminium heatsink case for superb heat dissipation and it uses standard 25T spline servo arms. At 7.4V input the BE1 pulls up to 28kg-cm at a speed of down to 0.8s, making it ideal for 1/8 buggy and truggy applications. Available in preorder exclusively through Nemo Racing and their distributors and shops, planned release the first week of March.

Edouard Hugon wins Agde GP
Nemo Racing’s new recruit, Edouard Hugon, has started his NEMO/Agama career with a win at the recent Agde GP. In cold, but dry conditions, Edouard was able to qualify in second place while learning his new car and tyres, and was confident for the finals. The finals were of a slightly different format to the usual nitro racing style, with three 12 minute races.
Edouard was second in a close fight with Rayan Medjoubi in the first final, and then he would go on to dominate the second as he settled into a great rhythm and set some fast laps. The third and final race saw a fight back from Medjoubi, but Edouard was able to raise the level, and keep his Agama/BETA package at the front to take the win.

“I’m very pleased to announce that I’ll be racing Beta tires for my next season. Have to say thanks to Daniel Vega and Dave Duggan for giving me this great opportunity. The different patterns and compounds available really suits all the tracks I’ve tested them on: Cubez, Enforcer, Freeride, V-Max and Tykytaka!
I’m really impressed by all the quality and I can’t wait for my season to begin.
Hunter Kinsey wins at RC Pro Finals
The RC Pro Series finals took place recently at Mike’s Hobby Shop in Porter, Texas. The Texas-based series concluded with some of the fastest Texans in town doing battle for the win. In the 1/8 Truggy class it was NEMO Racing’s Hunter Kinsey who found himself on top the leader board after qualifying. Kinsey would take TQ, and start first on the grid for the final. An early battle with Steve B would give Kinsey a run for his money, but Kinsey soon turned up the heat to speed away to a near flawless victory with his Agama A8T.

Agama gets first BRCA Nats win!
The 3rd round of the BRCA National series took place at the Kent track just outside Maidstone, and witnessed the first victory in a BRCA National for the Agama brand! The weather was very hot and humid on Saturday which made it pretty hard work for all the drivers as they got used to the excellent but very technical track layout that had been set down. In response to the track breaking up at recent races, the club had added oil to the dirt mix in many areas, and this held the dirt together well, providing a contrast in surfaces.
