Shag Oil by Rotor Ron

“SHAG OIL” is an ultra light weight ball bearing oil that provides exceptional lubrication to high RPM bearings. Additionally, while it lubricates, it also purges the oil from the bearing. The result is lubricating film and lower drag. “SHAG OIL” works great for motor or ANY RC bearings. Bottle comes with needle applicator for precision application.

Every motor Rotor Ron tunes gets SHAG oil in it’s bearings, so if Rotor Ron swears by it, you should too!

Also comes with a free Rotor Ron sticker for your ride

 Reedy race winners, How did Ryan do??    The 2018 Reedy Race of Champions did not disappoint. Received a bag of swag when the event began with control tires, glue, decals and even an event specific car stand for the event. The racing was very tough in the invite class, the track layout was one to remember featuring three triple jumps. I fought until the end for the overall but came up short and finished tied for 3rd and received 4th after tie-breaker. Congrats to Dustin Evans on a great weekend earning the victory and Ty Tessman and Ryan Cavalieri 2nd and 3rd place respectively.

Next event up, 2018 Dirt Nitro Challenge at the Fear Farm....can’t wait to burn some nitro.

LRP gone:  As reported by Red RC, LRP founder Jürgen Lautenbach announced the famed German brand will close on March 31, 2018. LRP filed for insolvency with the German court in May of last year but has failed to find an appropriate investor, and so the company will cease distributing Team Associated and Reedy products. Lautenbach’s statement concluded with his wish for a fresh start for LRP but did not suggest a timeframe.

 Dallas Mathiesen, the concurrent present of both EFRA and IFMAR since 2005, died on Saturday. He was 69 years old.

Mathiesen looked like a rock star from the 1980s, with a towering stature offset by a glowing smile, and was best known among the RC community for his patience in presiding over the industry’s most important events. Originally from Denmark but living for much of his life in Sweden, Mathiesen worked with troubled youth and the less fortunate in his community. He was a father and grandfather, and last posted to Facebook on Thursday, January 11, before flying to Great Britain to visit his daughter and grandchildren.

Tater, Honestly how can we get upset, what role models does he have….

 Mayfield out from MKS….. Wow what a shock…..

 Kinwald back to Team Lost, why should anyone care?

 RC Word of the Week

Ball Cup

A hollow plastic piece that snaps onto a ball end that provides a pivot point, usually for suspension movement. Using a ball cup/ball end assembly instead of a rigid system allows the car to absorb crash damage, so the ball cup will pop off instead of break. Ball cups are usually paired with turnbuckles for the ultimate in ease of use and assembly.
