Chassis Focus – Ryan Maifield

Thurs-MaifieldTrug-9

Chassis – TLR 8ight-T 4.0
Engine – Reds R5 Team
Tyres – JConcepts Reflex green
Fuel – Sidewinder
Radio/Servos – Airtronics/Spektrum
Body – JConcepts Finnisher

Remarks – Having been testing the all new 8ight-T 4.0 from TLR for a few months now, Ryan Maifield already has a base setup for the car in these conditions. The car, which is 11mm narrower than its predecessor, has only had some minor changes made to its setup with the Arizona native using softer springs front and rear. A result of the new driveline being straighter than the 3.0 he has had to go up in the centre diff oil from 10K to 15K to get more drive to the rear wheels.

Having teamed up with Radbody to bring you coverage of the 1:12 World Championships from Florida last year, Red RC are excited to partner up with the US based body shell producer again and travel state side once more for the IFMAR World Championship for Electric Touring Car. From November 5-10th the 12th running of IFMAR’s ISTC World Championship will take place at Finishline RC Raceway in Bakersfield, California, and we will be there to see how the title battle unfolds.
