MonacoRC USB to RC receiver adapter

MonacoRC’s new USB to RC receiver adapter connects a model car radio system to a MS Windows-based PC, allowing to use RC car simulators such as VRC Pro with your own radio gear. Due to the design the device does not need any drivers, making it a plug & play. It works with every transmitter and receiver and simulates the ESC and steering servo. It also supports all the functions of the transmitter such as servo speed, curve and more. All that is needed to get it running is a free USB port on the computer, a MS Windows-based PC or an Apple Mac running Parallel or BootCamp and Windows. The adapter is available with a blue or red case from now on.

VSR Products Unicorn VRC Pro adapter

VSR Products have introduced a new adapter that allows to use the popular VRC Pro software using any 4-channel 2.4GHz receiver. With the current Corona pandemic tracks have been forced to close and people need to stay at home as much as possible meaning racers are looking for alternatives to getting some laps under their belts. This is where the old and trusted VRC Pro RC racing simulator kicks in. VSR Products Unicorn PC adapter supports 4-channel operation which means owners can setup marshalling, refuelling and other functions with the buttons on the radio and do not have to touch the keyboard. In addition the adapter offers higher frame rates and lower latency compared to the original VRC adapter. Not included are the needed receiver and Micro USB cable.

Virtual RC introduce new GT3 class

Virtual RC have announced the soon release of the new GT3 class for the VRC Pro RC car simulator. The class is based on the 1/8th nitro vehicles but the chassis sport front and rear differentials, front and rear brakes and a slightly less powerful .21 engine as well as super soft rubber tyres, which results in totally different driving characteristics. The GT3 class will be rolled out in the middle of November with the very first event being the 2017 VRC Worlds starting November 2nd.

VRC Pro Winter Season – Preview

In their latest column VRC Pro report about their forthcoming 1/8th scale GT3 class, their new bump-up finals race format and the upcoming VRC Worlds. Starting with the GT3 class, the vehicles use front and rear differentials and rubber tyres to create a different driving experience at about 90 percent of the performance level of the 1/8 nitro sportscar class. This new class should be easy and fun to drive and therefore will have very limited setup options. VRC expect to see some very exciting and close racing in this new class. Release is planned for the 2017 VRC Worlds starting middle of November 2017.
