More testing videos from the Durango DESC410R, this time Austrian Hupo Honigl running the car at his track in Vienna. In it you can see how well the car appears to take jumps and the amount of traction it has, with the triple and its short run up being a good example.

In its first appearance at the Team Durango Off-Road Winter Series, the DESC410R took the Top Qualifier spot and the win in the A main. Adam Skelding, Off Road Team Manager for Team Durango UK, said “As the DESC410R got hooked up to the track it was like driving a giant 410R. The SC had so much more drive and corner speed than the other 4wd SC’s I almost took 2 seconds a lap out of them!”

Hupo Honigl dominates SC Fun Cup Austria

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0hhz7M9-rU[/youtube]

RC-Carpet Fun and Fun Cup Austria got together to hold the first ever Short Course Race in Austria last weekend. The venue was the new indoor off road track at RC-Carpet Fun situated in an old warehouse near Vienna. Racing was held to the usual single racing day Fun Cup rules, only one heat to sort drivers into the finals and after a short break to get some good food and nice drinks at the buffet, three finals for all. The tight track saw lap times between 26 and 29 seconds apart from one driver, Hupo Honigl who was joining the race and dominated all three finals driving a Traxxas Slash 2WD/Protoform SC Truck. His best lap time was 22.99 and therefore considerably quicker than second placed Peter Wirthners best lap of 25,88 driving an Associated SC10. Third place overall went to Georg Sandhofer with his Losi Strike. After the race Hupo revealed his ‘secret’ that he was using Protoform tires similar to Schumacher Minipins, the best tire to use for carpet racing at the RC-Carpet fun track. The next indoor off road race will be held at the same venue on the 30th January, 2011, more details can be found here.

JQ Products – THE Video

[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/16373961[/vimeo]

JQ Products have released their first video production highlighting some of the fun they had during the summer testing and developing THE Car.

This is our first attempt at an RC Video, and we drew inspiration from the Motocross videos that we like to watch. The onboard stuff was specially fun to do, and a lot of imagination was needed in order to get the right shots without vibration and with the right focus. I think it turned out great, and Tomi Jermalainen who pretty much did everything from finding the equipment needed, to filming to editing really did an outstanding job. And remember, he is just a racer and filming and editing is just his other hobby.
