Chassis Focus – Renaud Savoya

Wed-SavoyaXB8-10

Chassis – Xray XB8
Engine – Orion 321
Tyres – Sweep Revolt soft
Fuel – Runner Time
Radio/Servos – Futaba
Body – Kit
Remarks – Three time European Champion Renaud Savoya is running the 2014 XB8 with a few prototype parts on the car including new higher shock towers and a new rear chassis brace. The parts just completed days before the event, the new towers help the shock to get more up-travel giving improvements over bumps on power while the new brace, which is now mounted to the rear bulkhead instead of the shock tower as in the standard configuration, makes the car more stable, so much so that he is still looking to find more steering. Also trying Sweep’s all new Revolt tire in soft compound, the tire only being completed in limited quantities just before the race, Reno is waiting for the track to come to him as he is running the setup basically the same as from the warm-up race.

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.
