Excelerate RC Prodigy 12 VR2 Alu Chassis Plate

Fresh off the track from the MonTech NYGP where team driver Ollie Payne did the double, Excelerate RC has released the new VR2 12 Chassis Plate, Dampner Pivot and Dampner Forks for its Prodigy 12.  Continuing their VR2 upgrades, the 2mm 7075 Aluminium VR2 12 Chassis Plate utilises the same geometry and dimension as the P12 steel chassis with electronics plate mounting holes.  This makes transitioning from aluminium to steel chassis plates clean and simple.  The VR2 Dampner Pivots feature an aluminium body with pressed in steel pin for superior strength.  This updated version features updated geometry that aligns the pivot on centre with the fork for smoother action.  The matching VR2 Dampner Fork features an open slot design for use with the VR2 Dampner Pivots.  The updated VR2 parts will come standard with all kits as of 10.19.26 along with the updated VR2 Steering Bushings.

Radbody appears on world motorsport stage

We love to see RC linking in with full size motorsport so it is cool to see our friends at Radbody appearing on the international motorsport stage with their support of leading drift driver Jack Shanahan in the US based Formula Drift Championship.  The 1:28 bodyshell manufacturer are no strangers to highlighting RC on the bigger stage having had a stand at the world famous Tokyo Auto Salon car show in Japan earlier this year.  In addition to being an accomplished 1:28 racer, and mechanic having prepared Masami Hirosaka’s car for the Team Associated 1:28 International in Las Vegas, Radbody owner Joe Chen is a true petrol head.  Supporting Shanahan’s BMW 1-Series, watch out for the Radbody branding on the front & rear visor strips of the Irish driver’s car as it drifts around the streets of Long Beach, California, this weekend at the title deciding Round 8 of the Formula Drift Championship.

Organised by Rickside Design and held at RC Land Taki in Japan, Nitro Shock 2026 took place over the weekend where Team Cayote’s Atsushi Hara won the newly introduced eBuggy category before doing the double with the Nitro win.  Hara together with Team Mugen’s Kenji Tsuruta and Team Kyosho’s Juliya Kajiwara and Itaru Kawamoto headed the entry for the event which selected the Hurricane EVO tyre from VP PRO as the official control tyres for the race.  In the eBuggy class, it was the Kyosho of Kawamoto who secured the TQ, and the top four engaged in a great battle from the very start of the final.  Leader Tsuruta made a mistake, allowing Cayote powered Sworkz S354e of Hara to take the lead and go on to win the race.  In the Nitro Buggy Open class, the Mugen of Tsuruta secured the TQ, and in the final, the top six drivers engaged in a close battle for the lead from the start through the middle of the race.  As the drivers made mistakes one by one, Hara driving a O.S. powered HB D819RS took the lead in the latter half of the race, set a new fastest lap time, pulled away from the pack, and claimed the victory.
