Izsay joins Xray R&D team

Xray has announced that team driver Ádám Izsay has joined their R&D team in a full-time capacity. The Hungarian racer who has brought the Slovakian manufacturer much success on track will now bring his experience to the company’s R&D onroad team and work alongside Martin and Juraj Hudy. On making the announcement Xray said, ‘Adam has already demonstrated his value through his dedication, precision, and strong contributions to testing and racing. His professionalism and commitment to excellence make him an ideal addition to XRAY’s R&D program. Each year, Xray annually updates the majority of the world’s largest portfolio of high-competition model racing cars — a lineup of 20 different models. This extensive process requires not only engineering expertise but also continuous on-track evaluation. With Adam now part of the R&D structure, Xray will further strengthen its ability to innovate and accelerate development especially in on-road field. Together, Martin Hudy, Juraj Hudy and Adam Izsay will form a highly effective R&D on-road team focused on pushing the boundaries of performance and maintaining Xray’s reputation for world-leading design and quality.’

XC-ESC 8S FOC driven Ultra-High-Power Crawler Motor

New from XC-ESC comes their GL4990 8S FOC Driven, Ultra-Powerful Crawler Motor. Powered by an upgraded FOC algorithm, the motor delivers exceptional low-speed torque for superior performance and compared to conventional motors benefits from 24% Less Power Loss and 8% Higher Efficiency. With significantly quieter operation, it is equipped with a built-in high-precision magnetic encoder chip, it delivers real-time, accurate rotor position feedback. Compared to traditional Hall sensors this gives dramatically higher precision (by dozens of times), strong Anti-Interference capability, and zero delay under extreme conditions. Features a high-precision balanced and wrapped anti-explosion rotor with patented magnetic circuit design, combined with ultra-thin silicon steel sheets and high slot-fill enamelled wire, it effectively reduces operating temperature and energy loss. Ultra-Low cogging torque significantly reduced torque ripple and delivers smooth low-speed operation. Built to IP67 standards, this offers exceptional protection against dust and water ingress.

Das Speed Transmitter Steering Wheel

New start-up Das Speed has released a new steering wheel for wheel transmitters which they say is ‘designed to give RC racers the ultimate edge in precision and control.’ Unlike traditional steering wheels that rely on foam or rubber, the Das Speed wheel introduces a unique grip surface with micro-spikes that act like spider hairs, locking onto the driver’s fingers for an exceptionally secure hold. This creates a direct connection between hand and transmitter, putting the driver in true symbiosis with the car. With this innovative grip, there is no need to excessively squeeze the wheel, which has allowed Das Speed to reduce its overall diameter for a more natural and efficient fit in the hand. The result is less strain, more comfort, and unmatched steering precision. The steering wheel is compatible with most popular transmitter brands, making it a straightforward upgrade for racers looking to improve their feel and control on track.

MRO Racing announce Inspire2 2WD Buggy project

MRO Racing, the company behind the radical ultra low profile design Inspire4 1:10 4WD buggy project, has announced it is also working on a 2WD Buggy. While emphasising that the Inspire project is still some time away from reaching final production stages, MRO Racing say the philosophy they are pursuing is comparable to that of Gerd Strenge at the beginning of 2000 with his Team Durango. That is to build a small series, mostly at their own premises, and try to win over a small number of drivers. Announcing earlier this year that Strenge had joined the project to bring his extensive knowledge of RC car manufacturing, like the Inspire4 the 2WD is designed entirely by David Orbell. Currently working with one early stage Inspire2 prototype they are using a heavily modified Inspire4, configured as a 2WD, to validate several of the core design concepts. Ttrack testing with the modified Inspire4 they have benchmarked handling and setup flexibility gaining valuable data to feed back into the Inspire2’s prototype design. The dedicated Inspire2 prototype is now moving into its own test phase. Giving an overview of the Inspire2, MRO Racing say it ‘builds on the knowledge and DNA we developed with the Inspire4, but takes things further with its own unique innovations’ adding it is, ‘designed to respond predictably and effectively to setup changes with a large operational window.’ It will feature a conventional chassis layout, but with their own unique spin on packaging and geometry and what they claim is ‘the lowest center of gravity ever achieved in a 2WD buggy format.’ As can be seen by the released Inspire2 CAD images it has a low-drag, high-downforce bodywork to maximise aero efficiency.

Infinity IF18-3 Suspension Parts

Infinity has introduced two new parts designed to enhance the performance and competitiveness of the suspension system on its IF18-3 1:8 Onroad chassis. Updated carbon lower shock mounts are machined from approximately 0.1mm thicker plate to ensure greater strength and precision in set-up. New low-friction treated balls for the lower uniball have also been developed, with revised dimensions to eliminate any possible interference with the wheels. Special surface treatment significantly reduces friction, enabling smooth suspension operation while the ball centre height is set lower at 2.95mm compared to 3.1mm for the previous model. The prevents interference with the wheel and is also ideal when converting the IF15-2 rear upper rod to 5.8mm. The flange diameter at the base is reduced by 1mm to ensure clearance with the wheel. The inner side features a low-profile design that increases the slant angle, enhancing grip performance during acceleration.

Hall successfully defends both British 1:10 Offroad titles

Team Associated’s Tommy Hall has successfully defended both his 2WD and 4WD BRCA British 1:10 Buggy Championship titles, the latter coming to a thrilling conclusion at the season finale hosted by Robin Hood Raceway over the weekend. In Saturday’s 2WD action, the title already wrapped up by Hall, it was Schumacher’s Ben Smith who took the TQ and Round 6 win ahead of Hall and Neil Cragg. His first win of the season, the result helped him to claim the runner-up spot in the championship 1-point ahead of Cragg, the weekend marking the end of the former World Championship illustrious racing career. In 4WD, Hall needed to TQ and win to retain the championship and the former European Champion rose to the occasion. Winning A1 & 2 ahead of Smith to claim his third win of 2025, it was this that gave him the tie-break over Smith as they both ended the championship on 150 points – Smith with two wins, Hall with three. Getting a guard of honour from his fellow A finalists, Cragg would complete the season finale podium and claim 3rd overall as he signed off on racing having achieved the century of National Race wins earlier in the season.

Kaemtech DEX410 Alu Bulkheads | Gear Collar

A Buggy that is a bit of a blast from the past, German company Kaemtech Racing are looking to keep the remaining examples of the Team Durango DEX410 alive with the release of new aluminium bulkheads and gear collar. Almost a decade since the last DEX410 1:10 4WD Buggy was released, the Durango brand eventually being discontinued by Hobbico in 2017, they developed this set of bulkheads as a 1:1 replacement to address a known weak point on the buggy. Made from T7075 aluminium it has a black anodised finish. The 1:1 replacement gear collar also addresses a weak both on the DEX410.

CFG Racing Mi9 Long Top Deck | P10 Suspension Arm

Set-up by Swiss touring car racer Carl Friedrich Grössel, CFG Racing has added to its option parts range with the release of a Long Top Deck for the Schumacher Mi9 Touring Car, and Suspension Arm for the Roche P10 WGTR pan car. The Long Top Deck ties the centre of the chassis together, creating a smoother, more progressive flex profile while reducing unpredictable mid-corner behaviour. The key benefits are progressive chassis flex for calmer, smoother cornering. It also gives increased mid-corner stability especially in transitions and chicanes, as well as more consistent steering response under load. The + Forward Outer Pivot Suspension Arm for the P10 subtly shifts the outer lower pivot forward introducing slightly more mechanical caster and a touch of extra wheelbase for cleaner steering and improved mid-corner balance. It is best for low to high grip tracks and setups chasing neutral, predictable steering with more mid-corner steering.
