Remarks – Current National Champion Ty Tessmann is also running a stiffer car compared to when he last run the car at the Reedy race. Both cars are set with less pack in the shocks, changing from 2 holes to 4 holes and running a heavier oil. Having run a number of tires earlier in practice Ty has settled on the new Transistor fronts and Suburb VTR in XT compound on both his cars, liking the precise feel which is very consistent. On his 4wd he has mounted the rear wing in its lowest position for less roll while on the 2wd prototype, which is made up of a Centro rear end and a Kyosho front end, he is now using an aluminium chassis plate in place of the standard carbon version because it is stiffer helping to reduce the car’s overall grip and what is such a grippy 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.
