JConcepts F2 | S2 released for Losi Micro B

With Losi’s Micro B 1:24 2WD Buggy proving hugely popular for the American brand, Florida based JConcepts has decided to shrink its popular competition spec F2 and S2 buggy bodies and offer them for this little buggy. For the Micro class vehicle, JConcepts took the time to produce a scaled down version of the originals. JConcepts has also released a micro version of their carpet | turf | dirt rear wing, which has also been downsized and provides downforce in a variety of conditions on the racing circuit. After driving the Micro, the JConcepts team decided to add a little additional size to this wing to provide even more aero benefits over the stock component.

Team Associated RC10 4WD Kit

After all the various edition RC10 kit releases comes something new from Team Associated with the release of the RC10 4WD Buggy. The iconic RC10 is now available as a 4WD race buggy with everything included in one box. Build a high-performance race buggy from the 90s that is meant to be raced, using the latest electronics of your choice. At the inaugural IFMAR Off Road World Championships, Jay Halsey took first place with his RC10 in the 2WD class but he also took second place in 4WD with a prototype 4WD. Team Associated never advanced that prototype 4WD and instead focused on 2WD. Now however the AE engineers have taken the iconic RC10, the knowledge of 4WD racing from the B74, and created the RC10 4WD. The kit includes clear polycarbonate ProTech body with driver figure, 5.5” high-downforce wing, full ball bearings, CVA driveshafts, vintage front and rear 4WD spike tires, all on the classic gold anodised 6061-T6 monocoque tub chassis.

Yokomo RD2.0 Aluminium Steering Bell Crank Set

Yokomo has introduced a new Aluminium Steering Bell Crank Set and Steel Front Axle for double bearing for its RD2.0 1:10 Drift Car. The aluminium steering bell crank set has a forward tilt angle on the wiper post to reduce bump changes when the angle of cut is applied, and shows neutral characteristics. The length of the servo rod attachment can be adjusted with a spacer, so the feeling can be changed by the lever ratio with servo activation. The front axle used in the double bearing design for ultimate rolling of the front tire is sold separately. Although made of steel for increased strength, the 3mm shaft and hub shape make it lightweight.

JQ at the TITC – The Wrap Up

The 21st edition of the TITC is now done & dusted and having made his debut at the world’s greatest annual Electric Touring Car race, it was great to see Offroad racer Joseph Quagraine leaving the track on Sunday evening on high after the whole experience. Maybe the high was not from his own racing exploits in Bangkok, but the process of car set-up and the fact he ended up helping out some pretty big names has the man behind Invisible Speed wanting to come back for more. Having entertained us with his daily column from the race, here is his wrap up piece from the Infinity RC Addict Circuit. Take it away JQ……..

Sparbier gives new Mugen TITC Open Brushless title

Mugen Seiki can ship its upcoming new MTC-3 electric touring car as a Championship winning car after Soren Sparbier claimed the win of the Open Brushless class at the famed TITC. Experiencing his first ever time on a plane in order to make the journey to Bangkok, the German returns home with extra luggage in the form of his winning & TQ trophies having wrapped up the title in A2, a race that would prove somewhat controversial. Having secured pole position by topping two of the four qualifier at the challenging Infinity RC Addict Circuit, the 18-year-old took a very straight forward A1 win on Saturday evening. In Sunday morning’s A2 however, what was shaping up to be a great battle ended with a body tuck, yet again a great race destroyed by the modern day flimsy lightweight body shells. After leading away, setting the fastest lap in the process, Sparbier was soon under pressure from Lukas Ellerbrock, the German carrying Awesomatix’s hopes of a fifth consecutive TITC win. Ellerbrock would find a way passed to take up the lead but Sparbier wasn’t quite done and made a re-pass but contact resulted in Ellerbrock suffering a body tuck. While Sparbier initially waited, as Ellerbrock pulled off to a marshal for attention, he then resumed the lead. Taking the A2 win ahead of Fong King he would claim the victory. In A3, the lively crowd having lot of reasons to ooh & aah, the race eventually going to last year’s Open Brushless podium finisher Adam Izsay ahead of Ellerbrock, the later getting the overall runner-up spot with Izsay’s Xray completing the podium.

Rookie came, Rookie conquered, Orlowski nails TITC win

It won’t be remembered for the intense racing action like we witnessed last year, but the 21st edition of the TITC will go down in the history records as the year the Rookie Michal Orlowski turned up and absolutely nailed the win at the legendary race. Completing a clean sweep of all four qualifiers, starting the finals from the TQ, Orlowski armed with his Schumacher was the class act gapping the second place qualifier & defending Champion Bruno Coelho almost immediately in both A-Mains. Having taken the opening encounter on Saturday, in A2 the Polish ace looked even stronger with Coelho finding himself having to deal with Marc Rheinard on his rear bumper for the entire race. With almost 3-seconds on his rivals, he cruised to the win and with it the title to become its 11th different champion of the Bangkok race. A race that is often referred to by drivers as ‘the toughest touring car race in the world’, Orlowski’s performance this weekend was something special and for the World Championship Top Qualifier a major psychological boost.
