Hobby Expo China – Turbo Racing, small scale with big potential!

With the date for the 25th edition of the Hobby Expo China recently announced as 16-18th April 2027, and this year’s Expo the biggest one yet with an official attendance figure of 72,000, we wanted to revisit this ‘seeing is believing’ exhibition with a look at one of the stand out exhibitors for us.  On travelling to the Beijing Exhibition Centre, one of the manufacturers we were keen to chat with was Turbo Racing.  While not a brand that would feature much in Red RC’s daily product news, this producer of small scale hobby grade RC cars had caught our attention.  The first time we became aware of the brand and what they produced was at the original GDC Indoor Track in Foshan, China, while attending the inaugural Foshan Invitation RC Championship in 2023, their branding appearing around the indoor track.  That support of RC racing transferred to the impressive new Hongyu GDC track, widely recognised as the one of the greatest RC facilities in the world.  The logo of this maker of small cars appearing alongside some of the biggest brands in the world of competition RC racing.  However what really made us take serious notice was when this Chinese company announced none other than 3-time back to back Electric Touring Car World Champion Bruno Coelho as a brand ambassador.  This wasn’t a sign that they suddenly had ambitions to enter the 1:10 Touring Car market but rather them seeing a value in being associated with one of the greatest drivers in the world and using that to get more kids into playing with their products.  Greeted by the Turbo Racing stand on first entering the Beijing Exhibition Centre through the impressive main entrance arch, it got us thinking could Turbo Racing be a brand that is sowing the seed of future RC racers – its small scale having big potential!

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.

Xbility XB-SF 1:28 Kit

Xbility RC, the 1:28 manufacturer headed by category World Champion Jose Pequito, has revealed its latest competition chassis the XB-SF.  With countless hours of testing, development, and refinement, their goal was to achieve the target weight while maintaining the perfect amount of chassis flex.  With every component carefully designed, tested, reviewed, and refined until they achieved the balance we were looking for the XB-SF combines innovative engineering with proven Xbility performance.  A carbon fibre chassis with strategically placed brass weights, achieves the target weight while delivering the ideal weight distribution and the perfect balance between rigidity and chassis flex.  A completely redesigned tweak plate, with optimised spring mounting points that allow the springs to work more effectively, delivers increased precision, improved rear-end rotation, and a more consistent feel on the track.  Knuckles with internal O-rings transform the kingpin damping system into true miniature shock absorbers for smoother, more controlled, and more consistent front suspension movement.  A Floating servo mount minimises interference with chassis flex and allowing the chassis to work exactly as intended.  The car gets a completely redesigned motor pod, lowering the motor’s centre of gravity, while a brass pod on the opposite side provides the desired left-to-right weight balance.  Xbility’s proven 3-point ball differential, engineered to virtually eliminate wheel play while delivering exceptionally smooth operation, more efficient power transfer, and outstanding consistency.  The XB-SF is now available for pre-order.

Boost RC MTC-3 1.5mm Spring Steel Chassis

Boost RC has expanded its 1:10 Electric Touring Car Spring Steel Chassis range with this release for the Mugen Seiki MTC-3.  The chassis was created to deliver a balance between increased steering response, greater confidence at the rear and easier, more consistent handling.  It’s optimised layout lowers the car’s centre of gravity, helping the MTC-3 feel more stable and predictable without sacrificing the agility required for competitive touring car racing.  Manufactured from high-quality 1.5 mm spring steel, the chassis weighs 147 grams and is fully compatible with the original MTC-3 chassis screws and hardware.  Its distinctive layout and black surface finish also give the car a unique and aggressive appearance.  To provide a cleaner and more flexible electronics installation, every chassis includes the complete Sliding Motor Cooling Duct Kit.  The kit contains two mounting plates: a Standard Plate for drivers who prefer to use their own fan mount or cooling solution, and a Sliding Plate with an integrated guide.  Also included are dedicated Sliding Cooling Ducts for both 30 mm and 40 mm fans.  The duct can be moved along the guide to position the fan precisely next to the motor according to the selected gearing and motor position.  Once adjusted, it is securely locked in place using a fixing screw accessible from underneath the chassis.  Both plates use the original mounting hole located on the MTC-3 motor mount, ensuring a clean and fully integrated installation.  All cooling-system components are manufactured from carbon-fibre reinforced engineering polymer, combining low weight, rigidity and durability.
