Urbain claims French title with TQ & Win at Marmagne

Awesomatix’s Lucas Urbain has secured the FFVRC 2026 French 1:10 Modified Touring Car National title in style with TQ & victory at the season finale over the weekend. Racing at the Marmagne track in central France, qualifying for Round 5 of the championship would see Urbain top all but one round of qualifying, French touring car veteran Cyril N’diaye posting a TQ run in Q2 to line up second for the A-Mains. A multiple National Champion, RC Maker’s Rémi Callens competed the Top 3 followed by Thomas Vigneron. In the triple finals, Urbain took the first two, A1 ahead of Callens and A2 ahead of N’diaye, to seal the deal. With N’diaye winning A3 from Callens that was how they would complete the podium as the race brought a close to the outdoor season.

Awesomatix Optional Sway Bars

Touring Car manufacturer Awesomatix has introduced three new optional softer sway bars. Available in 0.7, 0.8, and 0.9 mm as sets of 2 pieces, these softer sway bars increase mechanical grip and smooth out chassis response, ideal for technical, low-traction tracks where extra chassis roll improves cornering without making the car feel nervous. Each sway bar mark is marked with tabs corresponding to the .mm thickness for easy identification.

Awesomatix A800FXR 1.5mm Top Deck Long

New from Awesomatix for its A800FXR FWD Touring Car is this 1.5mm Top Deck Long. Machined from high-quality 1.5mm carbon fibre, the reduced thickness adds overall chassis flex, which translates into significantly more mid-corner rotation, especially in slow, tight corners. This makes it the go-to choice for technical tracks where the car tends to understeer and where extra rotation comes in handy. For larger, faster tracks, it pairs well with stiffer chassis options such as the kit aluminium chassis. Awesomatix say the new 1.5mm Top Deck is not suitable for A800FX and A800FX Evo.

Awesomatix A800R 1.5mm Titanium Chassis

Awesomatix has introduced a 1.5mm titanium chassis for its A800R and RR 1:10 Electric Touring Cars. Made from the strongest-grade titanium, this chassis version weighs 108 grams offering a great alternative to their heavier 140 grams Steel chassis (~140 grams) in Blinky classes. This option allows racers to get closer to the minimum weight where big battery packs, over 290 grams, can provide a power advantage. Moreover this chassis showed remarkable attributes in modified class on US and EU indoor tracks with improved corner speed and forwarded traction being reported during testing. Six pockets for optional installation of optional tungsten weights allows you to raise the overall chassis weight to 140 grams. This chassis requires specifically machined screws which are not included and ST237 Damper Spacers or SH0.5mm Shims should be used under D3 / D4 Dampers. Awesomatix also recommend use of its Lower Bumper with chassis. Awesomatix wish to highlight that some titanium chassis may show machine marks while others don’t.

Rheinard announces Awesomatix departure

Multiple World Champion Marc Rheinard has announced his departure from Awesomatix after six years with the manufacturer which only came into being at the height of the career of one RC racing’s true legends. The electric onroad star has been their lead driver since his departure from Infinity at the end of 2019, the initial deal to run Aersomatix done through his brother’s successful Tonisport business. While a fourth ISTC World title has eluded the German, achieving a podium in 2024 with the unique Oleg Babich designed touring car, they did enjoy plenty of successes including most recently the 2025 1:12 European title and the 2024 Electric Touring Car European title. In a post on his social media, Rheinard said, ‘Hey Friends, Today I would like to announce my departure from Awesomatix. A bit more than 6 years ago, Oleg gave me the chance to join his fantastic race team. At a time he backed me when I unfortunately did not have the best moments in my career and this will never be forgotten! I would like to specially thank Oleg as well as Max Mächler for great years with good success for all of us.’ With 2026 marking 22-years since he claimed his first World Championship, he added, ‘A true honour for me but now it is time to move on! I wish everyone in the team as well as the factory lots of success and I will always keep great memories in my mind! Last but most important, I’m happy that after talking to Max and Oleg we end our cooperation in a good way and keep the relationship positive. Thanks a lot for all and see you on track!’ With a huge following around the world, especially among Tamiya fans, it will be interesting to see what brand of car he will race next.
