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.

Ben Mohamed & Boda crowned French 1:10 Champions

Coelho ends Orlowski’s ETS winning streak

Infinity’s Bruno Coelho has ended reigning ETS Champion Michal Orlowski’s 12 race winning streak by taking victory at Round 3 in Luxembourg. In qualifying it was Awesomatix driver Lucas Urbain, a previous winner at his home track, who secured the overall TQ with two fastest runs over the 4 qualifiers. Topping Q4, Orlowski would line up second ahead of Coelho with Q3 pace setter Marc Rheinard securing P4 ahead of the Mugen Seiki of practice Top Seed Ronald Volker. With the first A-Main run on Saturday evening, two great passes would see Coelho go to the front and take the win ahead of Urbain with a late spin dropping Orlowski to 5th. A2 would see Urbain lead from Orlowski, Coelho and Rheinard as the Top 4 held station but approaching the final 2-minutes Urbain ran wide giving Orlwski the lead. Then at the track’s famous cork screw corner a mistake from Urbain dropped the Fremchman to fourth. With Orlowski in control, as the race came up on the final minute the newly crowned European Champion came to a halt handing Coelho the lead as the Polish ace DNF’d. Winning by 2/10ths of a second from Rheinard’s Awesomatix, it secured the World Champion his first win since joining Infinity at the start of the 2025 season. In A3 Urbain would get the win ahead of Orlowski and Mugen Seiki’s Sören Sparbier to secure the runner-up spot with the podium completed by Rheinard with Orlowski ending up in 5th behind Sparbier. In Stock, Awesomatix’s Olivier Bultynck continued his perfect season taking the TQ and win number 3. He was joined on the podium by Tim Benson and Lukas Ellerbrock.

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.
