Renowned US tool manufacturer MIP has announced the latest addition to our renowned Bypass1 piston family – the Hi-Flow Tapered Piston. Building on the proven success of our Original Bypass1 and Hi-Flow pistons, this groundbreaking design represents a significant leap forward in shock performance. The original Bypass1 piston introduced revolutionary technology that redefined shock performance, offering unparalleled control and consistency, quickly becoming a favourite among enthusiasts. The subsequent Hi-Flow piston took this technology a step further, enhancing oil flow and responsiveness for even greater performance. Now MIP has pushed the boundaries once again with the Hi-Flow Tapered Piston. Featuring a meticulously engineered tapered design, this piston provides improved oil flow with the tapered profile optimising oil flow through the piston, resulting in smoother and more consistent shock action. Enhanced responsiveness means quicker reaction times to changing track conditions. The Hi-Flow Tapered Piston is compatible with kits from Associated, Hot Bodies, Kyosho, Mugen, Sparko, Tekno, TLR and Xray.

While attending this year’s Philippine Masters we had the pleasure of meeting Scott Guyatt who has been working as part of the media team behind Scotty Ernst’s Asian Buggy Championship this year. Talking all things RC and sharing old RC stories with this Aussie over dinner each night while in Manila, talk of him creating some content for Red RC was floated. Having worked with Scott on content from the ABC and now with the greatest spectacle in RC, the IFMAR 1:8 Offroad World Championship, just around the corner, when Scott put together a preview of event for his own Action R/C podcast we thought what a great opportunity and way to introduce his writings to Red RC readers. Sharing his thoughts is the ideal way to start building up this great race as we get ready to build up to our own coverage from Spain which is presented by Ruddog. So take it away Scott – What will almost certainly be the most-watched race of 2024, the IFMAR IC Buggy World Champs, is just a few weeks away. You have to believe we’re excited about this one, and can’t help but cast an eye over the field to preview the event. We’ll do it by producing our own Tier List for the event (yeah, we know Tier Lists are a bit 2018, but we’re so old-fashioned that we’re still all about the long-form story here, so let’s go with a Tier List as well). We’ve picked the drivers we think most likely to run up front, those aiming for a semi- or quarter-final, and a few wild cards with enough talent to up-end the predictions completely. Disclaimer: We used the most recent entry list we could find – so forgive us if some we’ve named don’t make it to Redován come September.

German electronics brand LRP has extended its charge wire range with the addition of the 2S Charging Lead – RX/TX – 60cm – 4mm, XH to XH. This charging lead allows convenient charging of your receiver battery without disconnecting the battery from the receiver, which sometimes is difficult to do, due to the installation and sealing. With this convenient charging lead, the battery can be charged solely via the easily accessible balancing connection. No other battery connection is required. For protection and reliable operation, the new charging leads come with a protection mesh and shrink tube on both sides with our logo imprinted.
