JConcepts Siren 2.2″ 4WD Front Buggy Tyre

JConcepts has released its Siren carpet and astroturf 1:10 Offroad tyre as a front for 4WD Buggy. Racing on artificial surfaces requires a lot of stability, steering, and forward-bite and the design team went to work to substantially improve performance for deep nested turf or carpet surfaces. The new 4WD front tyre brings a new larger and taller sized 3D blended pin-size, pin-separation, and a lightweight and incredibly low-profile carcass. The semi-circle protrusions, unique to the Lockness, Nessi, and now the Siren are included in the centre section of the tire and on the sidewall area. These details are important, and the low semi-circles improves side-bite but also minimize grip-rolling instances associated with normal pins. The pink compound represents a new compound for JConcepts, a medium soft material with good wear characteristics. The front tires include open cell inserts making them a complete set ready to mount, straight out of the package.

Ronnefalk and Bertin part ways after 15-years

It is hard to imagine one without the other at any major international 1:8 Offroad race but former World Champion David Ronnefalk and his long standing mentor & mechanic Adrien Bertin are to part ways after 15-years. Bertin himself a double World Championship in nitro onroad, has played an integral part in the career of the Swedish driver. Red RC first witnessed this partnership, that would become a world recognised force, in action the EFRA European Championships in Austria fresh from Ronnefalk having become the European B Champion. Since then the duo have gone on to win around the world with them achieving the ultimate dream when Ronnefalk took the World title in Las Vegas in 2016. A partnership that started through Kyosho and Orion engines and successfully moved to HB Racing, but Ronnefalk’s latest move to Xray after a brief stint with Mayako has seen the duo a somewhat less formidable force and now as the saying goes ‘all good things must come to an end ‘ with Ronnefalk making the announcement on his social media and concluding ‘I wouldn’t be in the position I am today if it wasn’t for you Adrien. I can’t thank you enough’
