RC Paddock Data Analysis Platform

RC Paddock is a new web-based platform designed to help RC racers and teams transform track data into clearer, faster decisions.  Rather than managing lap times, setups, notes, telemetry and videos through separate tools, RCPaddock connects them within a single racing workflow. Users can review practice and race sessions, compare runs, evaluate consistency and tyre degradation, document setup changes and build a searchable history of their racing activity.  During practice days, RCPaddock works together with the free IWI Timing software to bring real-time lap times directly into the platform. Users can also import CSV files from supported third-party timing websites, allowing previously recorded practice sessions to be analysed and stored in the same environment.

Figueiredo claims first European title in Estonia

João Figueiredo has claimed his first European Championship title, the personable Portuguese driver also giving his Tekno team its first EFRA title with victory at the eBuggy Euros in Estonia.  Attracting 118 drivers to the RC Rakvere Racetrack, four rounds of qualifying would see Figueiredo take his Hobbywing powered EB48 2.2 to the overall TQ after topping Q2 & 4.  With the second fastest times in Q3 & 4, Mugen Seiki’s Berkan Kilic secured the second spot on the grid ahead of Sparko’s Noha Ben Mohamed who opened qualifying with TQ run but struggled to repeat that form over the remaining three rounds.  Travelling to the 10th running of the 1:8 Electric Buggy Euros chasing a third consecutive title, Team Associated’s Davide Ongaro qualified fourth ahead of Spain’s David Todd who took his Mugen Seiki to a TQ run in the third qualifier.  As the reigning eBuggy World Champion, Marcus Kaerup struggled with the mixed conditions and would just scrap into the A-Main with P13.  In the triple finals, A1 saw Figueiredo lead home Kilic as former double Champion David Ronnefalk came through from 9th to 3rd with his Xray.  In A2, with Kilic in tow Figueiredo had a bobble at the 2 & a half minute mark that handed the lead to the Turkish racer.  Holding that lead for 3-minutes it was Kilic’s turn to have a bobble handing the lead back to the pole sitter but on lap 12 Figueiredo would jump badly and on landing catch a track post that would break his buggy allowing Kilic to cruise to the win ahead of Ongaro and newly crowned European Nitro Buggy Champion Juan Carlos Canas who qualified his Sworkz in P11.  In A3 an early mistake from Figueiredo handed Kilic the lead briefly, but touching in the air shortly after, the Tekno driver was back in front from where he took control of the race to win and claim his first European title.  With Kilic in second, Ongaro completed the podium ahead of Ronnefalk and Kaerup.

Boost RC ‘Hexaflow’ Touring Car Front Bumper

Italian brand Boost RC has introduced a new line of  Boost RC has introduced the new line of innovative ‘Hexaflow’ Front Bumpers.  Available for leading 1:10 Electric Touring Car models, it combines impact protection with aerodynamic performance, transforming a traditionally passive component into an active tuning element for your car.  Unlike conventional bumpers designed solely to absorb impacts, the Hexaflow has been engineered to influence the car’s behaviour at speed.  Developed entirely in-house, the project began as a CAD concept before undergoing multiple stages of prototyping and extensive on-track testing to refine both its mechanical properties and aerodynamic efficiency.  The bumper features a distinctive angled honeycomb structure with through-flow cells that channel airflow across the front section of the chassis. As vehicle speed increases, the airflow management is designed to generate an aerodynamic effect that complements the car’s mechanical setup, offering additional front-end support in faster corners. This opens up new setup possibilities for racers. For example, drivers can optimise the car for greater mechanical grip in slower sections using reduced camber while benefiting from the additional aerodynamic assistance provided by the Hexaflow in high-speed corners.  Rather than replacing traditional setup adjustments, the bumper introduces another tuning parameter that can help maximise overall performance.  Manufactured using high-performance engineering polymer through advanced 3D printing technology, the Hexaflow stands out visually with its honeycomb architecture creates a distinctive motorsport-inspired appearance, complemented by a carbon fibre textured finish on the sides and underside.
