Schumacher Mi10 +2mm Axle

Schumacher has introduced this new +2mm Rear Axle for their Mi10 1:10 Electric Touring Car. It changes the position of the rear driveshaft joint, moving it further inboard and altering the rear drivetrain geometry. The key performance benefit is improved forward traction on corner exit. The car is able to put the power down more effectively when the throttle is applied, allowing drivers to accelerate harder and earlier without sacrificing rear-end stability. This makes the +2mm Rear Axle an especially useful tuning option when looking for additional rear grip and forward drive, whether conditions are low grip or the driver is simply looking to extract more performance from the Mi10.

Bernadzik takes Q3 at Asian Buggy Champs

Alex Bernadzik has kicked off Day 2 of qualifying at the Asian Buggy Championships finale in Jarkarta with a TQ run, the 3rd of the 5 qualifiers producing a Team Associated 1-2 as Hyunkyu Jung recorded the second fastest time on what was a slower track than yesterday. With Pekko Iivonen making the first day of qualifying at West Side Raceway his own, topping both qualifiers, it was Jung and Bernadzik who battled out Q3 as the Finn used the round to test a harder compound tyre. Unfortunately for Jung traffic in the closing stages of the run cost him the top spot with Bernadzik, once again setting the fastest lap of the round, securing his first TQ by half a second from the young Korean. With the run the slowest of the three so far, the track almost 5-seconds off yesterday afternoon’s Q2, the Top 3 would be completed by Infinity’s Jason Nugroho. A 46-second lap half way through the round saw Iivonen stop the clock with the fourth fastest time ahead of Jayden Edmunds, the Sparko driver struggling for pace after putting on a brand new set of tyre for the run.

2026 MonTech New York Grand Prix – Announcement

The organisers of the MonTech New York Grand Prix have announced details of the eight edition of the annual indoor race hosted by 360v2 RC track in New Rochelle, New York. Taking place from October 15th to 18th, the event has become one of the highlights on the annual US onroad racing calendar and draws an international entry stateside. Last year it was Awesomatix’s Sam Isaacs who did the double winning both 1:12 Mod and Touring Car with NYGP debutant Lucas Urbain heading the international challenge. The French touring car ace would claim the final step on the Mod TC podium behind the race’s big 2024 winner Kemp Anderson. Another of the international visitors, Xray’s Jan Ratheisky took fourth along with a podium in Super Stock Touring. The vision of long time 1:12 racer and multiple World Championship finalist Donny Lia, the NYGP is the nearest thing RC will get to having a race in Time Square, the track just a 20-minute train ride from the centre of the City That Never Sleeps. Counting multiple World Champions Marc Rheinard (2022 NYGP Winner), Ronald Volker (2019 NYGP Winner), Alexander Hagberg, reigning 1:12 Stock World Champion Max Mächler, and Ollie Payne as previous participants, 360V2 is one of the biggest indoor tracks in the US with racing takes place on a track layout covering an area of 105 X 48 feet. For 2026 the race expands to 10 classes, with race entries opening on September 8th, and once again Red RC is excited to travel across the Atlantic to cover this year’s NYGP action.
