PNP release a 1:8 Onroad Body & Wing Gauge

Spanish onroad accessories and optional parts brand PNP (Pata Negra Parts) has created this 1:8 Onroad Body & Wing Gauge. Aerodynamic setup is a key factor in the 1:8 Onroad chassis performance and measuring & checking body and wing height is necessary in order to get the maximum performance. Body rear height highly affects the general downforce (front and rear) generated but also results in more aerodynamic drag while wing height affects a lot the car setup being an easy way to achieve a good balance. Machined from 3mm carbon fibre and finisged with silk printed graphics both side, the PNP Gauge is designed to be used with the car placed on 20mm setup blocks, as it is done in the race technical inspection. Using the gauge, drivers will be able not only to check if their car is legal, but what is more important is that they will be able to measure and share with their teammates these two aerodynamic setup aspects.

Team Saxo F1 Body with Helmet, Halo & Mirrors

New from Team Saxo comes their latest 1:10 F1 body shell which comes complete with Drivers Helmet, Halo and Mirrors. With similar narrow style to 1:10 F1 cars, the body is designed with modern style and high down-force details for the good looks and high performance. Team Saxo say the design allows the user to cut to the desired height and achieve a close to ground stance that will reduce airflow under the car while scooping up as much airflow as possible from behind the front wheels and directing it down the side through the deep scalloped pods and channels towards the rear wing. The profile is sleek and low with a sharply curved nose.

1:8 Onroad World Championship coverage presented by Capricorn, Radbody, T-Works, and IFMAR

Having hit a landmark of telling the story of how 50 World Championships unfolded when we reported on Marcus Kaerup’s 1:10 4WD Buggy World title win in Australia, Red RC is excited to be travelling to Chile to cover the 1:8 Onroad World Championship, our coverage presented by Capricorn, Radbody, T-Works, and IFMAR. As we kick off the first of our next 50 World Championships, this one is special because it was IFMAR’s original World Championship category that was also the first World Championship to be covered here on Red RC back in 2007 in Argentina. With a certain Lamberto Collari racking up the 8th of his 9 World titles, now 18-years later the championship is back in South America and having missed the last one Red RC are definitely going this time round for what in our opinion is the Formula 1 of RC Racing. Unfortunately while Collari and all of his team-mates at reigning World Champion manufacturer Infinity won’t be making the trip to the amazing CACH facility in Santiago, we are still going to be in for the intensity that only a World Championship brings out in drivers and manufacturers. While Japan 2023 winner Dario Balestri doesn’t appear on the entry list, it is led by three World Champions – Simon Kurzbuch (2016 World Champion, Brazil), Shoki Takahata (2019 World Champion, USA) and Toni Gruber (1:8 GT 2023 World Champion, Australia) – they will face the next generation of potential World Champions in the form of drivers like Andrea Catanzani who unlike the three World Champions has been to the track previously where he was the Top Qualifier at the IFMAR 1:8 GT World Championships back in September.

BoostRC A800 Spring Steel Chassis ‘Black Edition’

New Italian start-up BoostRC has introduced a new ‘Black Edition’ Spring Steel Chassis for the popular Awesomatix A800R | RR 1:10 Electric Touring Car. Recommended for use when racing on indoor carpet and asphalt with medium to high grip racing conditions, the chassis was developed through extensive CAD optimisation and on-track testing. Machined from high-grade spring steel, delivering a driving feel that is both smoother and more controlled compared to the standard carbon fibre version, thanks to the material’s elastic properties, the spring steel chassis provides more linear and predictable handling. It also increases traction without unwanted snap reactions and gives greater consistency through rapid direction changes. Its refined flex characteristics help the car maintain a lower centre of gravity and improved overall weight balance, allowing drivers to confidently carry more speed through technical corner sequences. Visually, the chassis features a distinctive black finish and a layout that gives the A800R platform an aggressive, high-end appearance. The chassis is supplied with custom Torx T10 screws, provided in quantities exceeding the required amount to ensure spares are available.
