Hongyu GDC EP Onroad Races Announcement

Hongyu GDC has announced the dates for its annual end of season Electric Onroad Races for 1:12 and Electric Touring Car. The 1:12 event on the indoor carpet track will run from December 5-7, while the Electric Touring Car event on the outdoor asphalt track will run from December 8-12th. An event that was first hosted in 2023 at the old GDC Indoor track, in Foshan, China, with Mugen Seiki’s Ronald Volker taking the win, the race has grown in status each year with World Champion Bruno Coelho winning in 2024 for Xray and again in 2025 for Infinity when the event moved to the brand new world class Hongyu GDC track. Introducing 1:12 race in 2025, which runs weekend ahead of the touring car action, this race was won by Schumacher’s reigning 1:12 World Champion Michal Orlowski. With the cancellation of the IFMAR World Championships at Hongyu GDC, track owner Gavin Kwok has made the early date announcement for its signature annual electric onroad races in the hope some drivers may be able to reschedule their flights to the December dates.

Xray XB4 Slipper Eliminator Set for One-Way Clutch

Xray has released this Slipper Eliminator Set for One-Way Slipper Clutch on its XB4 1:10 4WD Buggy. The specially designed slipper eliminator set is intended for stock class racing, combining the efficiency of a solid axle on-power with the drivability benefits of a one-way system off-power. The slipper eliminator completely removes the slipper effect on-power, delivering direct drivetrain connection for improved acceleration, sharper throttle response, and more consistent power delivery. Reduced drivetrain rotating mass further enhances efficiency and responsiveness, making the car more reactive under acceleration. Off-power, the system retains the one-way bearing function, reducing front braking influence and helping to stabilize the car on corner entry, during jump landings, and under high-speed deceleration. This results in a calmer, more predictable handling feel, especially in technical track sections. Precision CNC-machined from Premium Swiss 7075 T6 aluminium and outdrives from Hudy Spring Steel, the set offers high strength, low weight, and long-term durability, making it an ideal solution for competitive stock class applications where efficiency and consistency are critical.

Schumacher CAT PB Optional Steering Arms

New from Schumacher for their CAT PB 1:10 4WD Buggy are these Optional Steering Arms. Used by their factory race team at the World Championship and other International events, the CAT PB ‘2 pip’ Carbon Fibre Steering Arms offer a new Ackermann position which gives more initial steering and has smoother mid to exit steering. This will help on tracks which require a less ‘tail happy CAT’ when exiting corners and allows the driver to lean on the steering without any snap oversteer.

Reedy Sonic 900 “Driver Edition” Competition 1:8 Motors

Reedy Power has announced the release of their new Sonic 900 Driver Edition 1:8 Competition Brushless motors. Available in a 1900kV & 2100kV option, the ‘Driver Edition’ was developed in close collaboration with the Reedy Power racing team, the Sonic 900 DE builds on Reedy’s proven Sonic platform. An updated rotor concept delivers a smoother, more linear power band, higher top speed, and improved reliability for 1:8 racers and casual enthusiasts. Each option of the motor comes with a unique rotor which is interchangeable between both and sold separately to fine tune power output and delivery for specific track conditions and driver preference. All Sonic 900 DE motors feature a precision CNC-machined can with adjustable timing. An integrated heat sink lowers operating temperatures which results in less fade over the course of a race, longer run times, and increased motor life. Sensored operation results in a smooth and controllable power band while the powerful 4-pole rotor is supported by precision ball bearings for reliability. A 200mm sensor wire is included.
