Since last year there’s been various editions of the TF-5 Stallion Shin Edition in action around the globe. Steen Graversen has driven his version with success at the Speedweekend, the Swedish Friendship Race and the Prague EFRA Grand Prix throughout 2007, while Adachi has been active on the Asian scene. As 2008 will bring the World Championships to Thailand manufacturers are most likely already preparing for this race, and reports brought news that Kyosho apparently were testing their all new touring car thoroughly at the 2008 Worlds track in Thailand recently.

All racers of the 2007 XRAY Nitromasters met in Sand am Main/Germany on December 1, 2007 for the final ceremony. This year over 80 drivers attended in five races in the series, for the first time using the Panther Komoto Dragon 2 as control tire in the Buggy class. The result was lower costs and more fun for the drivers.

The afternoon began with a new engine workshop from SMI CEO Bertram Kessler, about nitro engine tuning and maintaining. With over 30 years experience in racing and multiple titles in RC, Bertram now shares his knowledge and secrets with the common racer.

At 6:00PM the prize ceremony started off with trophies for the best Buggy and Truggy drivers as well as for the best Youngsters. The highlight of the evening was the big Tombola with prizes worth over €2000, mainly sponsored by SMI, the German XRAY distributor. The main prize was an XB8EC followed by a REX 115 engine.

1. Tobias Kettemer XB8EC / REX 215
