Running change notice / new products.

All kits shipping as of 05/04/2026 now feature our new V2 Roll Plate.

This roll plate feature additional retaining screws for the front and back pivot sockets. These retaining screws help eliminate any play that is created over long term running.

In addition these retaining screws are specific to our new Steel Socket / Cup design. This design eliminates the lower O-rings that can move in a hard impact which will cause the roll plate to shift.

Team Drivers have been utilizing the steel socket / cup design the last few months. These recommend use is in the front and rear of the roll plate and not in the side flex pivots.

Video coming soon!

Ollie Payne is the 13.5 Euro’s Top Qualifier!! He’ll be starting on pole for tomorrow’s triple A mains with fellow countryman and team mate Morgan Williams lining up in 8th.

After some rough qualifying in Modified, Ollie squeaked into the modified final where he’ll start in the 10 slot and looking to make moves up the order.

The extremely difficult track conditions here have thrown us off at times with large swings in grip through the day. It has been a welcome challenge to learn and continue on building our knowledge database for the Prodigy cars.

More updates tomorrow from Italy!!
