Ronnefalk joins ARC for 1:8 Onroad campaign

ARC has announced that Offroad star David Ronnefalk is to represent its brand in 1:8 Onroad and have a go at the sport’s longest established category. Having achieved the top prize in Offroad when he became the IFMAR 1:8 Buggy World Champion in Las Vegas in 2016, the Swede has had a number of electric onroad outings but now will take on nitro. Having been mentored in his professional racing career by Adrien Bertin, Ronnefalk will be able to capitalise on the Frenchman’s vast onroad racing experience having up until last year been the only driver to have won both the 1:8 and 1:10 Onroad World titles. Commenting on the announcement, the reigning European 1:8 Buggy Champion said, ‘I would like to thank Jones Chu of ARC for giving me the chance to enjoy some 1:8 OnRoad when time allows from my MAYAKO Off-Road program. Always thought that 1:8 On-Road is the F1 class of RC and I appreciate ARC supporting me with the equipment needed to go race. I have a great mentor in Adrien Bertin when it comes to this class and it will be fun to go “play” a bit when we will have some CT engines ready to test for this category. Together with Matrix Tires and Xtreme Aerodynamics I think I have a good program also for this class. Looking forward to try the new R8.4 out on the track once they have opened for the season in my area.

Klinik RC 1:8 Offroad adjustable brake collars

Klinik RC has released their new adjustable brake collars intended for 1:8 Offroad racing. In the past brake bias has been a difficult adjustment to make that usually needs to be done on the bench by ‘feel’ prior to taking to the racetrack. Balancing front to rear balance is critical to squeeze that last bit of speed into each corner and have stability at the same time. How many times have you said to yourself “I need a just touch more rear brake” on the drivers stand, only to forget to make the adjustment before the next run? Now you can make that adjustment right in pit lane in seconds! Now all your pit person needs is a 5.5mm nut driver and he can make quick, easy, precise adjustments in just a few seconds. Our unique rounded ball collars allow for nearly 45deg angles to get around the fuel tank and make that quick adjustment! Simply replace your standard brake collars with our adjustable brake collars and get on the track to get that perfect balance! One collar is black and one is red for easy identification of front/rear adjustments.
