Chassis Focus – Steven Hartson

Sun-HartsonB44.2-1

Car: Team Associated B44.2
Motor: LRP
Battery: Reedy
ESC: LRP
Radio/Servos: Futaba
Tires: JConcepts

Current 4wd World Champion Steven Hartson is running his B44.2 in the same configuration as his car that won him the World title, with the exception of using ball diffs in place of gear diffs. Running his standard indoor setup he has just made the front oil a little softer to make the car roll into the corners a bit more but apart from that has decided to focus his attentions on tires and tire prep. Sanding down the tires to scuff and lower the pins, along with applying his self mixed traction additive, he says this is helping improve the car’s traction on this particular surface.

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.
