Hobby Culture Festival China – Entertaining & Engaging the Crowds

Hobby Culture Festival China (HCFC) opened today and on arriving at the huge* Hangzhou International Expo Center for the very first time we were greeted by a very familiar face & good friend of Red RC, none other than Masami Hirosaka. The RC Racing legend is here at the 3-day show as a guest of the show organisers to give demonstrations & entertain the tens of thousands of visitors expected to attend this very much interactive Expo. After catching up with Masami and trying his unique ‘1 of 2’ hand built custom radios for size, we would later find out that his appearance on the show’s RC Rallying stand ties in nicely with a category that is currently enjoying huge growth in China. Chatting to well known Chinese industry figure YST over on the Hobbywing booth, he told us sales of RC Rally cars is witnessing huge growth thanks to its ‘play with it anywhere’ appeal. With both the Chinese National Crawler and Drifting Championships being staged at HCFC, with two very well presented ‘mini venues’ for each championship, while Masami is no stranger to drifting it appears he has been sucked in by crawling! Having checked out the Crawler course, he told us he now wants to have a go. On that request, the show organisers have told him they will see what they can do about getting him some track time in between the official running of what appears from our visit to Crawler pits to be a very busy National Championship schedule. One cool element of the main Crawler course, there being a number of courses for the different scales competing, is the real road going Volkswagen that is part of the course with competitors driving in through the back seats of the car. This is a pretty cool link up with Volkswagen who have branding and car information boards around the course. With the Crawling appearing to be a very family orientation competition, VW might be onto something with supplying the car as a element of the course!

RM2 Mushroom Scuff Pads

JConcepts, under the RM2 brand of Ryan Maifield, has released Mushroom Scuff Pads to help racers with prepping their tyres for mounting and racing conditions. Racers have used moto-tools with sanding drums, sandpaper, flexible open-web pads, and highly abrasive items to scuff tyre beads prior to mounting, but now JConcepts has combined the handheld padded material into a cylindrical option fastened to a shank which allows racers to mount straight to a moto-tool. The RM2 mushroom scuff pad allows repeated use, quick and easy attachment, and scuffing results without a deep burn or penetration into tyre beads. Available in two different grit patterns, the green is more abrasive and should be used on tyres which have omitted a lot of surface bloom, cloud, or crud on the bead area. The red item produces a slightly lighter texture upon sanding and with its softer nature is ideal for clay compound tyres and beads that do not require as much cleaning or scuff to the bead. Each package contains 10 pieces to ensure a healthy selection for many tire mounting applications.
