Chassis – Mugen MTX-6 (R)
Engine – OS Speed 1202
Fuel – MLC
Tires (handout) – Hotrace
Radio/Servo – Sanwa
Body – SRC Spark

Remarks – OS Speed and Mugen Seiki development driver Takaaki Shimo is running a pre production version of what could be an upcoming “R” version of the Japanese car, that features the same chassis seen on Robert Pietsch’s car, prototype low friction pulleys, hard suspension arms and rear hubs, a lower front shock tower and a 15g front weight designed to be fitted on the front bumper. Despite carrying a head from the 1201 OS Speed engine, his car is powered by the all new version 1202 that only shares the crankcase with the previous version.

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.
