Chassis Focus – Daniele Ielasi

Chassis Name – Shepherd Velox V10
Engine – Sonic V.12T Ielasi Tuned
Tires – Matrix
Radio/Servos – Sanwa
Remarks – While the Velox V10 chassis is unchanged for this race, the Shepherd team one of the few to not come testing on the RC Addict prior to the event, the Sonic engine is sporting a new cooling head. The cooling head, which is without its anodising, was only finished just prior to the event and features a larger diameter, a different shape and is lower than the previous version. Seen on all the Picco based engines here in Thailand it will be released some time in the near future.

Chassis Name – Mugen MTX-5

Remarks – Takehiro is running a number of new items on his MTX-5 for this race.

A new one piece engine block is also being used, something that was available for the MTX4 but which has now been adapted for the new car. Finally softer spur gears have been made to prevent some small stripping problems that had occurred under certain conditions previously.

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.
