JRC Trackside Race Engineering App

New from Australia’s JRC Dynamics comes JRC Trackside, an new app built so that logging every run takes seconds at the track.  It was developed by Jordan Caruso, a two-time RC state champion and TITC A-main finisher, with 18 years of motorsport experience as a state, national and world champion across several racing disciplines. The app keeps lap times, setups, tyres, conditions and the driver’s own feedback in one place, then uses that history to suggest what to change next.  Logging a run is designed to fit between rounds. One tap on Prefill brings back the last run’s car, track, tyres and setup, so the driver only enters what changed. The weather is recorded automatically, and lap times come in from a LiveRC or MYLAPS Speedhive link, or from the results PDF the driver downloads from MyRCM. Setups are filled in on the manufacturer’s own setup sheet, in the layout drivers already know.  Everything logged feeds an AI “Engineer” that drivers can ask in their own words.  Ask “I have understeer mid-corner, what should I change?” and it works from the driver’s own car, setups and lap times, and explains the reason behind each suggestion.  Ask “When did I last change the front spring, and did it help?” and it answers from the driver’s own history: the date, the rating and what the lap times did.  JRC Trackside runs in any web browser at jrcdynamics.com, on phone, tablet or computer, and is also available as an iPhone app on the App Store with new users getting a free 30-day trial.

Radbody Mako Evo 1:28 ABS Hardbody with Lexan Roof

New from 1:28 body producer Radbody comes the Mako Evo, an ABS hardbody with lexan roof.  This latest hardbody is intended to complement Piranha on medium to large tracks.  Mako Evo has been developed to flow through corners with less initial turn-in than Piranha, and transition to midcorner and exit with more rotation.  With the side clips installed, the body should weigh just over 24 grams.  The new wing incorporates a hump that drops down toward the rear for full chord height, but still picks up cleaner air farther from the body.  Molded in 0.5mm for durability, it also features reinforcement ridges to reduce flapping, giving a more confident feel at high speeds. The roof remains 0.3mm, and it is higher than the lexan versions of the Mako.  Radbody has raised the roofline to match Piranha for two reasons, firstly for aesthetics and secondly for downforce in the mid-front of the car.  There are also vents in the rear of the body to reduce the “parachute effect”. Radbody recommends using thin tape to cover them for different handling characteristics.
