Kaerup takes opening 4WD qualifier ahead of Kilic

Team Associated’s Marcus Kaerup has TQ’d the opening round of 4WD qualifying at the IFMAR 1:10 Offroad World Championships, the 2WD Top Qualifier fastest from the Mugen Seiki prototype of a very focused Burak Kilic. As things hot up both on and off the track in Australia, running in the second fastest heat group it was Kilic who laid down the benchmark for the top seeded heat as they took to the track in the hot midday conditions. With reigning World Champion Davide Ongaro leading them out, initially it was Xray’s Dakotah Phend who set the pace before Kaerup went to the top with his team-mate Ongaro holding P2. While Kaerup set the fastest lap while in the process of executing a clean run, we would see mistakes from both Phend and Ongaro. With a roll over, Phend eventually got P3 2/10ths of a second off Kilic. Also with a roll over, Ongaro would finish P5 just 0.002 off the Xray of David Ronnefalk. The round would finish with 3 Xray drivers in the Top 6 however young Polish talent Bartek Zalewski would be DQ’d in post race tech for an unmarked battery promoting Schumacher’s Daniele Kobbevik to 6th.

Boost RC Spring Steel Chassis | 1:10 Formula Body

New Italian start-up Boost RC has announced it is to enter the 1:10 Electric onroad market as an after market parts producer with a Spring Steel Chassis for Touring Car and a brand new body shell for Formula as its launching products. A project born from passion in RC Racing and solid experience in engineering design, what started with custom 3D printed parts quickly evolved into spring steel chassis and body shell designs that have already gained recognition among competitive drivers. Their Spring steel chassis will be available for the Axon TC10/3 & TC10/4, the Schumacher Mi9, and the Awesomatix A800R. The brand-new Formula 1 body shell is now entering production after highly validating tests. It has already proven its speed on track, securing multiple club race victories with their drivers, and Boost RC claim it ‘is set to surprise anyone who tries it.’ The company’s launch is scheduled for October 2025, when it will officially introduce its two key product lines.

Izsay joins Xray R&D team

Xray has announced that team driver Ádám Izsay has joined their R&D team in a full-time capacity. The Hungarian racer who has brought the Slovakian manufacturer much success on track will now bring his experience to the company’s R&D onroad team and work alongside Martin and Juraj Hudy. On making the announcement Xray said, ‘Adam has already demonstrated his value through his dedication, precision, and strong contributions to testing and racing. His professionalism and commitment to excellence make him an ideal addition to XRAY’s R&D program. Each year, Xray annually updates the majority of the world’s largest portfolio of high-competition model racing cars — a lineup of 20 different models. This extensive process requires not only engineering expertise but also continuous on-track evaluation. With Adam now part of the R&D structure, Xray will further strengthen its ability to innovate and accelerate development especially in on-road field. Together, Martin Hudy, Juraj Hudy and Adam Izsay will form a highly effective R&D on-road team focused on pushing the boundaries of performance and maintaining Xray’s reputation for world-leading design and quality.’

XC-ESC 8S FOC driven Ultra-High-Power Crawler Motor

New from XC-ESC comes their GL4990 8S FOC Driven, Ultra-Powerful Crawler Motor. Powered by an upgraded FOC algorithm, the motor delivers exceptional low-speed torque for superior performance and compared to conventional motors benefits from 24% Less Power Loss and 8% Higher Efficiency. With significantly quieter operation, it is equipped with a built-in high-precision magnetic encoder chip, it delivers real-time, accurate rotor position feedback. Compared to traditional Hall sensors this gives dramatically higher precision (by dozens of times), strong Anti-Interference capability, and zero delay under extreme conditions. Features a high-precision balanced and wrapped anti-explosion rotor with patented magnetic circuit design, combined with ultra-thin silicon steel sheets and high slot-fill enamelled wire, it effectively reduces operating temperature and energy loss. Ultra-Low cogging torque significantly reduced torque ripple and delivers smooth low-speed operation. Built to IP67 standards, this offers exceptional protection against dust and water ingress.

Das Speed Transmitter Steering Wheel

New start-up Das Speed has released a new steering wheel for wheel transmitters which they say is ‘designed to give RC racers the ultimate edge in precision and control.’ Unlike traditional steering wheels that rely on foam or rubber, the Das Speed wheel introduces a unique grip surface with micro-spikes that act like spider hairs, locking onto the driver’s fingers for an exceptionally secure hold. This creates a direct connection between hand and transmitter, putting the driver in true symbiosis with the car. With this innovative grip, there is no need to excessively squeeze the wheel, which has allowed Das Speed to reduce its overall diameter for a more natural and efficient fit in the hand. The result is less strain, more comfort, and unmatched steering precision. The steering wheel is compatible with most popular transmitter brands, making it a straightforward upgrade for racers looking to improve their feel and control on track.

MRO Racing announce Inspire2 2WD Buggy project

MRO Racing, the company behind the radical ultra low profile design Inspire4 1:10 4WD buggy project, has announced it is also working on a 2WD Buggy. While emphasising that the Inspire project is still some time away from reaching final production stages, MRO Racing say the philosophy they are pursuing is comparable to that of Gerd Strenge at the beginning of 2000 with his Team Durango. That is to build a small series, mostly at their own premises, and try to win over a small number of drivers. Announcing earlier this year that Strenge had joined the project to bring his extensive knowledge of RC car manufacturing, like the Inspire4 the 2WD is designed entirely by David Orbell. Currently working with one early stage Inspire2 prototype they are using a heavily modified Inspire4, configured as a 2WD, to validate several of the core design concepts. Ttrack testing with the modified Inspire4 they have benchmarked handling and setup flexibility gaining valuable data to feed back into the Inspire2’s prototype design. The dedicated Inspire2 prototype is now moving into its own test phase. Giving an overview of the Inspire2, MRO Racing say it ‘builds on the knowledge and DNA we developed with the Inspire4, but takes things further with its own unique innovations’ adding it is, ‘designed to respond predictably and effectively to setup changes with a large operational window.’ It will feature a conventional chassis layout, but with their own unique spin on packaging and geometry and what they claim is ‘the lowest center of gravity ever achieved in a 2WD buggy format.’ As can be seen by the released Inspire2 CAD images it has a low-drag, high-downforce bodywork to maximise aero efficiency.
