MRO Racing Buggy Development Update

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.

Inside the factory – A visit to Hobbywing HQ

I have always enjoyed hearing people’s stories on how they ended doing what they do for a living.  Getting the opportunity to visit the Hobbywing factory after covering one of China’s international races, on that trip to Shenzhen I would get to met Jack Zhang, the man who founded what has become one of the leading electronic manufacturers in our racing world.  As I would learn from the visit, Hobbywing is a whole lot more than the company we all know for making the motors and ESC that allow us to go racing.  Its impressive growth to a company with over 1,000 employees all grew out of an RC enthusiast’s need for a product to allow him enjoy his hobby.  While getting to see the production lines off which come all the XeRun ESC and motors, that would complete a clean sweep of all four electric IFMAR World Championship titles on offer in 2025, it was actually the behind the scenes work, research & developing, and testing that makes these products that was the real highlight of visiting not one but two locations that make the final products roll off the production line.  While Salton Dong is the global public face of Hobbywing, travelling to major races providing technical support to team drivers and customers, there wouldn’t be Hobbywing if it wasn’t for Jack finding himself in a predicament in his own passion for RC Helicopters.  And it was a chance introduction to Salton on an RC forum that would prove pivotal to the brand becoming the force they are today in RC racing.  The expertise since helping them to expand into markets you might be surprised to learn of.
