Chassis Focus – Maxime Ripoll (Xray)

Chassis: Xray RX8 ’26
Engine: Max Power Quadrifoglio RP9.s
Exhaust: Max Power / EFRA 2183
Radio: Sanwa M17S
Servos (Steering/Throttle): SRT BH922S
Body: Xtreme Hyper
Tires (handout): Matrix

Notes – Maxime is running his RX8 very much in kit form with Hudy weights added for balancing the car. On the rear body mount, he has spacer from his sponsor Desiles Aero which gives the body shell a better mounting platform and helping to generate more rear downforce.

Having hit a landmark of telling our 50th World Championship story when we reported on Marcus Kaerup’s 4WD Buggy World title win in Australia, Red RC is excited to be travelling to Chile to cover IFMAR’s fourth & final World Champion crowning race of 2025, the 1:8 Onroad World Championship.

The F1 of RC Racing, this will be our second time to Chile this year having covered Alessio Mazzeo’s 1:8 GT World Championship double there in September. With our 1:8 being made possible by Capricorn, Radbody, T-Works, and IFMAR, this one is special because it was IFMAR’s original World Championship category that was also the first World Championship to be covered here on Red RC back in 2007 in Argentina.

Our coverage from Santiago and the CACH Facility will start on Tuesday (Dec 2nd) with seeding practice through to the crowning of a new World Champion on Saturday (Dec 6th).
