2025 1:10 Offroad World C/ships Chassis Focus Index

It is one of those World Championships that will be etched in the memories of everyone for many years to come both in terms of the dirt track racers got to race on, the new World Champions that were crowned, and the great efforts of the Hills RC Off Road track to put on a World class event that marked the 40th anniversary of the 1:10 Offroad World Championships.  Thanks to Radbody, Red RC was able to make the trip Down Under and witness the crowning of two new World Champions – Broc Champlin giving Schumacher their first title in 2WD and Marus Kaerup taking the Team Associated’s tally to 35 with his 4WD victory!!  As we experienced during our coverage of the recent inaugural 1:8 Electric Buggy World Championships in Portugal, manufacturers where being protective of the set-ups/new parts and again we had to wait till after racing was complete to get to photograph some of the buggies.  The most exciting Chassis Focus would be the brand new Mugen Seiki 4WD.  While it has been raced before by Burak Kilic at the European Championship, we were honoured to get the permission of its designer Shin Adachi to unveil his latest work to the World.  Kyosho came to Australia with some new designs for its upcoming 4WD buggy release but they were not quite ready to unveil it to the World.  We managed to photograph buggies from 6 manufacturers including the two winning buggies and we have compiled the 9 buggies we got our hands on in our latest Chassis Focus Index –
