Redcat LRH285 Designers Show Kit

Redcat’s has released it’s popular LRH285 chassis as a slider in response to a growth in the RC lowriders scene. This is the same chassis used on the popular Redcat SixtyFour and FiftyNine hopping lowriders but with lots of chrome. Called the LRH285 Designers Show Kit, it includes an overwhelming amount of chrome parts making it the perfect kit for those who want to create their own show-worthy custom RC Hopping lowriders. Redcat lowriders are designed for slow cruising and performing hopping lowrider tricks that are possible because of the purpose built LRH285 chassis, which uses a realistically simulated hydraulic suspension. The LRH285 chassis replicates the unique movement of a full-size hopping lowrider. The LRH285 Designers Show Kit is a fully assembled slider and includes a LRH285 hopping lowrider chassis, brushed motor, servo horns, mounting hardware for your electronics. The kit is made to give builders an opportunity to craft their very own custom lowriders, so it does not include a body, wheels, tires, radio system, ESC, servos, battery or charger.

This year’s championship offers 13.5 Stock and Modified classes and consists of six rounds with four counting rounds. The Eastbourne club laid out a large track at their Robertsbridge facility. The track design was a tale of two halves with a faster flowing section on the drivers right with a tricky technical section with a challenging entry to the main straight on the left. The layout certainly gave the drivers a challenge and an error free run was essential for a fast time.

Max Mächler V2 Brushed Motor Collection

We are big fans of all things retro and our good friend Max Mächler, both an accomplished touring car racer and Team Manager for Awesomatix, has been busy gathered together a really cool collection of V2 brushed motors. Also a collector of painted bodyshells, he is looking for a little help to complete the motor collection and you might be able to assist him. We’ll let Max explains the story, “During the pandemic, I started collecting and restoring some of the cool “old” RC stuff from back in the days. Always liked the optics of the V2 motors and with all the driver editions it was a cool project. Was able to collect a good bunch, also some very rare ones like the “Custom Edition”, but still miss a few to have the V2 collection complete. If anyone may has something laying around, let me know”.
