In terms of specifics to the Homestead RC Raceway track he said the diffs are the most important thing here. While his cars are normally decked out in bodies from Xtreme Aerodynamics, Toni is running Protoform’s P47 bodyshell having found it suits his car better on this track.

Chassis Focus – Eduardo Escandón

Chassis – Shepherd Velox WC ’19
Engine – Novarossi Mito WCS
Fuel (handout) – Maxima
Tires (handout) – Matrix
Radio/Servo – Sanwa/Sanwa
Body – Xtreme Hammer

Remarks – Eduardo is running the 2019 version of Shepherd’s Velox with the new car featuring an updated rear end. A new rear axle accommodates the use of shorter arms which are now also mounted lower in the car. As a result of the new arms the car also has new shocks positions. While the parts on Eduardo’s car are prototype, the rest of the Shepherd team here in Florida are running the product parts from the new kit. In terms of how the new rear end changes the car, Eduardo says it gives more rotation especially here at Homestead RC Raceway with the car much faster in the 180 degree corners.

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.
