2WD Buggy World Champion Broc Champlin is to use FlySky as part of his 2026 race package, the factory Schumacher driver making the announcement on his new deal with the Chinese radio manufacturer at the 2026 Clash of Champions event over the weekend. With FlySky having made huge market gains and and made quite a name for itself over the last two years, on becoming the latest World Champion to join the brand, Champlin posted, ‘I’m proud to announce my radio sponsor for the year of 2026 and beyond, Flysky RC. I first tried this radio in April of 2025 and was instantly sold. Due to the 2025 World Championships, I chose to stay with what I was most familiar with but after the Florida Carpet Championships, I began the switch. Whether they would end up as my sponsor or not, I chose this radio because it has all of the features I like best. I’m ecstatic to be apart of the fastest growing radio brand in competitive RC racing. I can’t wait to see all of my personal improvements and help the team provide a more quality and refined product for our community of racers. See you all at the races!’ It was a good official race debut for Champlin as he took the 4WD Mod TQ & Win at the Clash of Champions.

MRO Racing, the company behind the radical ultra low profile design Inspire4 1:10 4WD buggy project, has given an update on the project unveil it will test its latest iteration of the project. With well respected car designer Gerd Strenge joining the project earlier this year, in its update MRO Racing together with some body on photos of the buggy posted, ”Hello everyone, After not hearing from us for so long, it’s time for an update. We’ve spent several months thinking about how we could change a few things on the car and whether the changes would deliver what we hope for. Today is the day. Today we’re going to test the car on a track in Germany and see how it all works. We hope for the best. Our thoughts were that we could save even more weight, bring the weight even more into the centre and make the car a little stiffer. So we thought about how to do this and put it into practice. We will report back after the test. We are just as excited as you are.’

Purple Sector F25 1:10 Formula 1 Body Shells

Australian company Love RC Racing has released this new 1:10 Formula 1 Body which its calls the Purple Sector F25. Designed by company pwner Brent Love, the body is available in two variants the RB and the MCL. The RB is modelled after the full-scale Red Bull and featuring the signature intakes from the 2023 season but with the side pod design of 2025. The MCL option is modelled after the full scale Mclaren & Ferrari. Featuring the swept back sleek intakes from 2023 and side pod shape from 2025. Vent details along the top of the pods and a concave curve set this body apart from the RB. Both designs feature a low slung side skirt, allowing the user to cut to the desired height and achieve a close to ground stance that will reduce airflow under the car while scooping up as much airflow as possible from behind the front wheels and directing it down the side through the deep scalloped pods and channels towards the rear wing. The profile is sleek and low with a sharply curved nose. Both designs are perfectly suited to The Purple Sector liveries and are available in combos. During testing the body performed exceptionally well and provide great rotation as well as aerodynamic stability through very high-speed full throttle sweepers in 21.5T F1 class.
