Ed Bridges joins Trinity R&D Categories - Industry, Trinity - add a comment
Trinity Products Inc. have announced a new addition to their Nitro Program in the Research and Development team, with Ed Bridges from EB Mods. For those of you that may not already know Ed, he is the founder of EB Mods and a very experienced nitro R/C racer and mechanic. Ed had the following to say about the deal:
I made this move to Trinity to build a strong foundation with them and to make Trinity my home. Past business relations have always been month to month agreements with large orders of engines leaving little room for product development and support. Truth be told, I’ve been trying to get in with Trinity for a few years now, but Trinity never had a true nitro engine program in place, like they do with Jim Dieter in the electric division. So when I heard Trinity might start a new Nitro Program I contacted them and expressed my interest and went through the steps to get here. We all know in electric that Trinity is #1, so I hope to help make that true with nitro. Trinity has stepped-up and offered me the opportunity to prove this!

Racer DE becomes RC Car Racer & Fun Categories - Partners, Industry - comments closed 
With the first issue of the newly updated magazine going on sale, we were asked to remind everyone that RC Car Racer, one of the most popular R/C Car magazines in Germany and one of our print partners, has evolved into the all-new RC Car Racer & Fun.
As most of you might know RC Car Racer is the most popular RC Car magazine in the UK and since February 2005 it has had a German “sister magazine” for the German language market in Europe. Being in its fourth year now the publishers of RC Car Racer thought that it might be the right time for a slight tweak in the name of RC Car Racer in Germany and becomes the all-new RC Car Racer & Fun. With this re-branding ADH Publishing hope that the new look cover will appeal to many more readers who perhaps had previously thought that Racer was just about racing. The format will be changed for Germany and will have even higher quality paper, larger print and features aimed at all levels of Radio Control Car interests ranging from entry level to high competition cars as well as nitro and electric rides. It is planned that each and every issue we will have a cover mounted gift like sticker sheets or DVD’s for an even higher value for the reader. RC Car Racer & Fun is available at all good modelshops, railway stations and highstreet newsstands.

XRAY Column - Worlds Preparations Categories - Industry, Xray, Products - comments closed
The 17th installment in the Xray column from Xray owner and chief designer Juraj Hudy is now online. In this months column, Juraj talks about the teams trip to this years TITC event.
Arriving a few days earlier before the race gave us a great opportunity to prepare, and having all the other factory teams at the track as well gave us the chance to do some benchmarking. The track was prepared very well, so after charging the first batteries and getting the tires ready, we were ready to race! I was the first one to get track time, and was pleasantly surprised not only with my own driving but especially about the handling of the car. I needed no marshalling at all and the car with basic set-up and new tires was very calm with a lot of steering and traction, but mainly it was super-easy to drive.
Read the full column here.

Medial Pro announce their Return Categories - Medial Pro, Industry, Tires, Off Road, Products - comments closed 
Following the announcement last October that French tyre maker Medial Pro was putting itself up for sale comes today’s release that they have been sold to Belgium based company Medial Pro BVBA. All inventory, rubber injection machinery and tyre moulds will be moved this month to the brand new production facility in Belgium where the production will be restarted at the end of April. This new company will be doing all it possibly can to supply the market, and their worldwide distributor network, with a new stock of tyres as soon as possible. Nothing will be changing on the rubber compounds but Medial Pro have said that the existing range of competition tyres will be extended before the end of this year with 5 new types of 1/8 off-road and Truggy tyres, designed by Claude Lachat.
