Luke lined up fifth on the grid but he had full confidence that his Kyosho RB6 was the best car on the track. When the tone went off everyone was ready to race and on the second corner 3rd and 4th got together and he was able to pass them both with his sights set on second. After about 4 laps he was able to get around second. Luke was pushing the leader and after three laps the leader made a mistake and he was able to get around him for the lead. Luke led the last 3 minutes of the race and crossed the line for the win.

2wd Modified Buggy Top 3 Overall:

1. Luke Richards (Kyosho RB6)
2. JP Richards (TLR 22)
3. Scott Hecker (TLR 22)

The new shoes are shorter, lighter and designed for engagement during the entire shoe stroke. The shoes are less sensitive to wear and as such life time is increased. The clutch engages at higher RPM range, resulting in more controllable power during acceleration, while still maintaining good handling and performance on jumps.

The clutch can be adjusted tanks to the traditional combination of different springs and shoes.  Three different types of springs are available, with a diameter of  0.9 – 1.0 – 1.1 mm, and two different types of shoes: the traditional aluminum 7075 shoes and the optional ones in carbon.

3 RACER CLASSES IN SEASON 3

On top of the earlier introduced ABC final system, the virtual direct opponents and target selection, VRC is now adding a fourth major feature to its on-line event structure. Racers are now automatically divided in 3 classes: Club – Sports – Pro. The purpose of this new class system is to offer VRC racers to compete on a level he feels comfortable with and where he has a real chance to win the event in his class.

The class is partly determined by the system by measuring your racing performance (skill level) and comparing this with other racers with the same skill level, but the racer can also select a higher class.

At your very first official race you will be placed in a class which corresponds with the result you just scored, but you may also opt to go racing in a higher class. You cannot opt for a lower class though. During a racing series you may always opt for a higher class but you will lose all the points you have earned in that season. At the end of the season you may be promoted to a higher class based on your new skill level (this is mandatory) or demoted to a lower class but you can opt to stay in the higher class.
