Chassis Focus – Darren Bloomfield

Wed-DarrenTLR-2

Chassis Name – TLR 8ight 3.0
Engine – Novarossi Plus 21-4 BTTS
Fuel – Nitrotane
Tires – AKA Wishbone/Handlebar
Radio/Servos – Spektrum
Remarks – The reigning European Champion is taking a very calculated approach to his setup here focusing on get the car well balanced making it easier to drive. Removing steering from the car instead of trying to increase grip at the rear Darren has done so by small tweaks as well as adding unsprung weight to the front C-Hubs. Running a custom Ackerman plate which he always runs it makes the outside wheel turn less than the standard configuration which he says helps make the car easier to drive coming out of corners. Currently running AKA Wishbones, due to a limited supply, he will try Handlebars for the next run.

After the recent ISTC World Championships in California, Red RC gets ready to switches from electric power to nitro power as well as travel to the other side of the World to bring you coverage of the 10th edition of the IFMAR 1:10 Nitro World Championship. With support from Maxima RC Racing Fuel, T-Work’s Asia, Rapicon Max Power RC Fuel, SMART-Workshop, and Infinity, we are excited to be returning to Huge RC Circuit in Bangkok, Thailand, the track of former ISTC World Champion Suirkan Chaidajsuriya hosting the WC for a second time. In 2014 we got to witness Alexander Hagberg claim his first & Xray’s second World title at this unique (and huge!) indoor track. With 2024 a year that we have already seen two historic World title hat tricks, will we see Infinity’s Tadahiko Sahashi become the first ever driver to defend their 1:10 Nitro title? Our coverage starts on November 19 (Tuesday) and runs through to Saturday’s title deciding 1-hour final. We looking forward to you following along as IFMAR crowns its final World Champion of 2024.
