Coelho wins TITC on legendary race’s return

Bruno Coelho has won the legendary TITC in Bangkok which after a forced two year break returned over the weekend as one of the highlights of the annual Touring Car race calendar. The reigning back to back World Champion, who was absent from the last running of the famed Asian event in 2020, returned to the Infinity RC Addict track in style starting off with securing the TQ. From there he would win the event for a third time with wins in the opening two A-Mains. As a result of today’s win Coelho becomes the races second most successful champion with only Atsushi Hara having more wins, a record the Portuguese driver has the opportunity to equal next year. For Xray it was their 7th TITC Modified title, the most of any manufacturer. With Coelho qualifying on pole from the defending champion Akio Sobue and Ishioka Hayato, he took his Xray to the win over Sobue in A1 and Hayato in A2 to wrap up the 19th edition of the race. With the win in A3, Sobue would take second overall from his Axon team-mate Hayato. Just off the podium Infinity’s pairing Yamamoto Ryosuke and Jin Sawada finished 4th & 5th with former double champion Alexander Hagberg completing the Top 6.

BrunoRC BR1-X4 servo gets 4xWorld Champion restyle

To celebrate the huge success of the servo at the recent ISTC World Championships in Italy, including Bruno Coelho’s successful title defence, BrunoRC has given its BR1-X4 servo a restyle. Launched 1 year ago to coincide with the release of Xray’s new X4 platform, the servo, which is specifically developed to directly fit the X4, statistically was one of the most used servos during the World Championship, being the top choice 16% of the time. This is even more impressive considering that this model only fits on the X4. And again more impressive when looking at the XRAY drivers, 60% of these have chosen BR1 X4. The new BR1 X4, in addition to presenting itself in a celebratory packaging for the 4X World Champion titles, displays a new graphic, with 4 lasered stars on the product that commemorates not only the 4 World Titles won by these great drivers in Gubbio, but also the 4 World titles of Coelho himself. The new BR1 X4 was produced in a very limited number, available for sale just in time to arrive in stores ready to be mounted on the new Xray X4’23.

Bruno RC CA activator spray

The new Bruno CA activator spray is a cyanoacrylate accelerator spray for the use with all common cyanoacrylate-based super glues. The accelerator greatly reduces the curing time of thick, thin and super thin glues, making it ideal when glueing rubber on-road and off-road tyres. After gluing the tyres a small layer of CA activator is sprayed on the whole wheel or it can be used for an indirect technique by spraying a small amount of CA kicker into a cup and putting the cup over the tyre – the latter will reduce the build-up of white residue when having used too much glue. The CA activator spray is available in 150ml spray cans.

BR1 BC-T4WC Xray T4-series steering servo

Coming from Bruno Coelho’s BR1 brand is the new BC-T4WC servo for Xray’s T4 series of touring cars. Following the success of the BC-1863X servo, and to celebrate its Touring Car World Championship title, BR1 have developed the BC-T4WC (0.07s/11.0kg-cm/56g), a servo which is a must have for Xray T4 users that are looking for maximum performance from their car. It features a new all-aluminium case, as well as a receiver wire that now comes out of the back of the servo, allowing for much neater wiring. The integrated mount also has a screw hole to install a battery backstop with the low centre of gravity mount, which was characteristic for the first version of the servo, being once again the most striking feature, as it also perfectly fits the soon to be released Xray T4 2020 car. In addition the servo has also been updated internally to ensure best possible performance for the user.

Alessio will be using Bruno RC servos along other Bruno RC accessories during his campaign that will include appearances at all major national and international events. Alessio says:

I’m very happy to race with this prestigious brand where its products are developed by the best drivers in the world! When I’ve tried the Servo BR1 Bc1863x I have immediately appreciate the fast response and the accuracy that my T4 gained. Same thing when I use the titanium screw set for my G3 that gained extra smoothness. I am motivated and sure that this year is going to be satisfying.
