VBC Racing Varia MPAN-RR Option Parts

Following the release of their Varia MPAN-RR 1:10 Advanced Pan Car Kit last month, VBC Racing has released an optional 239mm Carbon Fibre Main Chassis Plate and Graphite Front Strut Bar Set for the car. The longer 2.5mm thick chassis lets you expand your body shell options and tune your chassis geometry. While the standard kit provides 210mm and 225mm configurations, this extended 239mm conversion allows you to seamlessly fit longer 239mm M-Chassis bodies while enhancing high-speed stability and tracking on larger or high-grip circuits. It provides multi-position Inline Battery Layouts and features integrated mounting positions to fine-tune your inline shorty LiPo battery placement, allowing exact front-to-rear weight bias adjustments for maximum traction. The new Graphite Front Strut Bar Set is machined from high-grade carbon graphite and includes three distinct stiffness profiles—Soft, Medium, and Hard. Designed for versatility, all three bars accommodate camber adjustments from 0° to 2° without binding or compromising suspension movement. Key performance advantages include Controlled Front Flex by tying the left and right front suspension assemblies together to stabilise camber recovery under heavy cornering loads. Sharper Turn-In & Off-Power Steering is achieved by reducing unwanted chassis twist at the front, delivering a more direct, predictable steering response. Quick trackside changes allow you to dial in front-end aggressive turn-in vs. smooth, forgiving mid-corner steering. The Soft, with its narrow and pocketed profile, allows more front independent suspension flex to generate maximum mechanical grip and side bite in low-traction environments. The Medium, narrow width profile, is an ideal baseline setting providing a balanced mix of crisp turn-in steering while maintaining sufficient flex over bumps or sharp direction changes. The Hard, with its wide profile, maximizes front rigidity to eliminate front-end washing out, traction rolling, or sluggish steering feedback on extreme grip surfaces.

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.
