Chassis Focus – Patrick Schaefer

Tues-SchaeferV10-1

Chassis – Shepherd Velox V10 Pro
Engine – Sonic X12
Fuel – Maxima
Tires (handout) – Matrix
Radio/Servo – KO Propo/Futaba
Body – SRC Spark
Remarks – Shepherd designer and owner Patrick Schaefer is running some track specific parts on his Velox V10 Pro here in Bangkok. First up is a new thicker 4mm top deck which offers less flex and along with a new front brace, new single piece engine mount and extra hard wishbones helps to stop the car from flipping. The car also has a new Ackermann part for the servo saver which sees the mounting points only 8mm apart. For setup he is running 125 grams of extra weight on the car comprising of a brass battery plate and various weights spread around the front half of the car with 40 grams of weight on the bumper alone. Having tried to reduce the steering to stop it from flipping Patrick is now trying to dial back in more steering and will try a lighter front diff oil. In terms of bodies he is running an SRC Spark which he says is compromise between the Protoform P37 and VRS-N giving more infield steering however it is very tricky in the high speed corners

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.
