Remarks – Top Qualifier in the ultra competitive Pro Stock Class, Christian Donath is running the TRF419X from Tamiya with an ultra lightweight GSF bodyshell from Blitz. Using his standard outdoor setup which includes SMJ progressive springs front and rear, the stock Tamiya springs not hard enough, he has also cut the top deck for more traction and rotation in the corner. Choosing to use lightweight spool outdrives, Christian has also machined his own front lower rear suspension block which give the front arms more toe out helping to give the car more corner speed.

New in the Pits – Team Magic
Making its debut here at the ETS in Slovakia, Team Magic are showing off their new E4 RS4 touring car. Featuring an all new 2.4mm chassis, the main bulkheads front and rear have been positioned closer to the centre of the car and feature wider spaced mounting points to eliminate flex in this area. A complex single piece central motor & spur gear mount replace what was previously 5 pieces and now give the option of different flex points for further adjusting the car’s balance. A central flex plate between the motor mount and all new servo mount is combined with a damper tube which helps control the forward flex in the car. Finally the car sports all new big bore shocks, with claims that they are shorter than those currently in use by the other cars on the market yet can accommodate up to 25mm springs. Still using non anodised parts for this event, the car only arriving in Europe on Monday, it is expected to be released in mid July.
