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.

Chassis Focus – Robert Pietsch

Chassis – Mugen Prototype
Engine – OS Speed T12 03
Fuel (handout) – Maxima
Tires (handout) – Matrix
Radio/Servo – Sanwa/Sanwa
Body – Xtreme Hammer

Remarks – Looking strong here at Homestead RC Speedway, Robert is running a prototype of Mugen’s upcoming 1:10 200mm kit release. Featuring the same front end as the MTX6R the biggest change is a completely new rear end with both ends connected by a new chassis design. With the rear having all new metal parts it follows the design of their 1:8 rear end and having less parts making it easier to work on the car. In terms of performance Robert says the car has similar handling characteristics to it’s predecessor.

Red RC is excited to be making the trip to beautiful Singapore to cover for the first time the annual Electric Singapore International Challenge (eSIC). Getting a new mid-year date of July 12-13 for 2025, the race is the brainchild of top Singapore touring car racer Nicholas Lee and Chhua Jookiah, the pairing having the goal of bringing top level international competition to their country. Despite this only being the third edition, eSIC has already achieved its goal and is now established as one of Asia’s leading annual onroad races. Racing at the Marine Parade Radio Control Modellers Club track, the event has attracted official team entries from Mugen Seiki, Infinity, Awesomatix, Yokomo, ARC and Xpress in the first two years and now in 2025 adds both Axon and Xray in terms of visiting factory drivers. With Ronald Volker unable to make the trip to eSIC this year, the former World Champion having won the first two encounters, there will be a new champion crowned in the small island country on Sunday evening with two World Champions, Alexander Hagberg and Atsushi Hara among the star international challengers.
