Chassis Focus – Shane Borden

Sun-BordenB5M-1

Chassis: Team Associated B5M Lite
Motor: Schuur Speed V3 Select 17.5T
ESC: Hobbywing V3.1 Stock Spec
Batteries: Trakpower 4200
Radio/Servo: Spektrum
Body – JConcepts Warrior

Remarks – 2wd 17.5 Buggy top qualifier Shane Borden is running an interesting Team Associated B5M Lite which features an MIP 3 gear transmission as well as some other optional parts. The new tranny moves the motor 3mm closer to the centre line and due to it being machined from aluminium it prevents flex in this area as well as adding extra weight to the rear of the car. Starting with softer oil in the rear of the car when he arrived at the Hobbyplex he returned to his base setup and changed to a softer front spring. Shane also used the new Stabilizer rear wing from JConcepts which gives more rear grip which he combined with a front wing which he said helped tame the steering for perfect balance.

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.
