2026 MonTech New York Grand Prix – Entries Open

Following some delays due to technical gremlins, entries for the eighth running of the MonTech New York Grand Prix are now finally open. Established as one of the highlights on the annual American electric onroad racing calendar, registration for this year’s event has switched to the LiveRC platform and came be made here. Taking place on October 15-18 at the 360v2 indoor track in New Rochelle, New York, the race schedule will see drivers compete for top honours over a total of 10 different classes. Last year it was Awesomatix’s Sam Isaacs who did the double winning both 1:12 Mod and Touring Car with NYGP debutant Lucas Urbain heading the international challenge. The French touring car ace would claim the final step on the Mod TC podium behind the race’s big 2024 winner Kemp Anderson. The vision of long time 1:12 racer and multiple World Championship finalist Donny Lia, the NYGP is the nearest thing RC will get to having a race in Time Square, the centre of the City That Never Sleeps just a 20-minute train ride from the track. Counting multiple World Champions Marc Rheinard (2022 NYGP Winner), Ronald Volker (2019 NYGP Winner), Alexander Hagberg, reigning 1:12 Stock World Champion Max Mächler, and Ollie Payne as previous participants, the 105 X 48 feet 360V2 is one of the biggest indoor tracks in the US. Red RC will be making the trip state side to cover the event for our third consecutive year.

Caster Racing NTO821.2 New Design Crown & Pinion

Caster Racing has a newly designed Crown and Pinion gear for their NTO821.2 and ETO821.2 1:8 Buggy platforms. Now Spiral Cut Bevel Gears, they will provide smoother & quieter operation as the curved teeth engage gradually rather than all at once, resulting in significantly reduced noise and vibration. Multiple teeth contact each other simultaneously spreading the force over a larger surface area to withstand higher torque. The new design also offers increased durability thanks to better stress distribution that leads to less tooth fatigue under heavy loads.
