Singapore’s RCMC track gets new surface

It’s Singapore’s only permanent track, and today RCMC underwent major resurfacing work. The home to the annual Electric Singapore International Challenge (eSIC), which last year hosted its biggest edition of the electric touring car race, and the annual Singapore International Nitro Grand Prix, the resurfacing has been a major undertaking for the country’s RC Community. Getting the new surface after 12-years, the project was led by well known Asian race announcer Daryl Thong. Due to the planned work, the track’s bump on the main straight causing drivers some spectacularly big crashes at eSIC, it was decided t0 defer the fourth edition of the race to 2027 in anticipation of the work. Moving to a July date in 2025, this proved a positive switch for the event which was won by Axon’s Akio Sobue ahead of Xray’s Alexander Hagberg and Team Cayote’s Atsushi Hara. Held on the same weekend as the Singapore F1 Grand Prix in October, international visitors to the Nitro Grand Prix will get the bonus of fresh asphalt this year. One of the driving forces behind eSIC, Singapore’s top international driver Nicolas Lee was on hand to see the work being carried out by some pretty large scale machinery and captured these images of the big day for Radio Control Modellers’ Club Singapore.

MXLR FlexFill Body Insert for Avalon Vortex Body

The most talked about body shell in RC racing at the moment, MXLR has created this FlexFill Body Insert for the Avalon Vortex 1:10 EP Touring Car Body. With its long front nose, there is a big gap to be filled between bumper and shell to keep the front in perfect shape under aero load and prevent it from bending down at high speed. Usually ordinary body shell foam is used here, which works fine in most cases – but with more than 15mm of gap to be filled in the middle section, foam is simply not a reliable option anymore. It deflects, it wiggles, and it costs you front end consistency exactly where you need it most. Already before the first big showing of the body, MXLR came up with a solution for this issue with their specially shaped FlexFill Body Inserts. Made from TPU and matched to the exact shape and angle of the Vortex front end, they provide the perfect fitment with the bidy – and a perfect match with the MXLR FlexBumpers and most kit bumpers. Installation is simple using thin double sided tape (not included) to mount the FlexFill Body Inserts inside your Vortex shell. The full set weighs only ~2.3 grams, while the amount of ordinary body foam needed to fill the same area comes in at ~1.9grams meaning you get a massive gain in stability and consistency for almost no weight penalty.

Schumacher CAT 2000 ‘Classic’ Transverse LiPo Mount Set

Schumacher has released this Transverse LiPo Mount Set for the their CAT 2000 ‘Classic’ 1:10 4WD Buggy. The Transverse LiPo Mount repositions the battery from an offset longitudinal position, into a central transverse position. This brings the mass of the battery along the vehicle’s centreline, reducing the car’s roll inertia and improving direction change. The balance of the car can be further enhanced by the ability to move the battery side to side and fore-aft (via 2 positions). The belt is guided over the battery using a power roller, mounted from a central Aluminium Alloy Brace, and the belt tension can be adjusted.

TITC returns to Huge RC for 2027

The biggest international race on the Electric Touring Car calendar outside of the IFMAR World Championships, the organisers of the TITC have just announced that the 22nd running of the iconic Bangkok race will see it return to Huge RC in 2027. The race was last hosted by indoor asphalt track owned by 2002 ISTC World Champion Surikarn Chaidajsuriya in 2014 with Ronald Volker taking the win on that occasion. Chaidajsuriya was the winner of the inaugural TITC in 2003 and successfully defended that title in 2004. Held at the city’s other famous track RC Addict since 2015, after 10 editions there (no races held in 2021 & 22 due to Covid) it now switches to back after 13 years to Huge RC which was just recently awarded this year’s IFMAR ISTC World Championships replacing the cancelled China staging of the 13th running of the Electric Touring Car World title race. With Schumacher’s Michal Orlowski the defending back to back TITC Champion he will get the opportunity for a hat trick of wins when the race takes place from February 25-27th.
