Chassis Focus – Ryan Maifield

Fri-Maifield8ightB-1

Chassis – TLR 8ight 4.0
Engine – Reds R5 Team
Tyres – JConcepts Triple Dees Green
Fuel – Sidewinder
Radio/Servos – Airtronics/Spektrum
Body – JConcepts Silencer

Remarks – Reigning DNC Buggy Champion Ryan Maifield has done a lot of testing with the 8ight 4.0 ahead of this race and came to this year’s DNC with a good base setup. Having changed away from that for the opening round of qualifying he has changed back to the setup he started with for the 2nd round. An interesting point is that Ryan has been playing with oil mixtures in his Sidewinder fuel, switching between 50/50 castor synthetic oil mix and a 20/80 mix, the former with more castor oil proving better for the engine in the dusty and high temperature conditions.
