The first round of the 2024 Brazilian Nitro Onroad Nationals was held in Florianópolis, SC, Brazil, recently. Despite delays caused by heavy rains in the area which decreased practice times for all participants, the finals happened on Sunday under much desired sunny weather. With record attendance for such an event after an ongoing economic downturn and some long term effects of the pandemic on the closure of many tracks and shops, the event was a success, with 46 registered drivers including two from Argentina as well. The event was divided in four categories; 1:8 GT, 1:8 Onroad and 1:10 Touring Car, the latter divided in two grids of Sport and Racer.

Debuting at last September’s 1:10 Offroad World Championships in Arizona, JConcepts has now updated its S15 body for the latest 1:10 2WD buggy from Team Associated, the RC10B7. Available in both standard and a lightweight option, the body ships with window mask, decal sheet and two of the latest Carpet | Turf | Dirt wings for a quick transition from preparation to racing. The S15 follows the chassis shape like a glove and the tidy arrangement is free of unwanted gaps. The center line roof fin helps the body stand up to rigorous demands of crashes and off-track excursions and while on the track, provides straight line tracking ability. The top of the side pod rolls into the rear end section helping with the force placed just in front of the rear tires. Just behind the cab, there is a trim-able section dedicated to rear escape of hot air and inner shell build up.
New from from RC Carbon Cavalieri is this innovative combination height and camber gauge. The in-house developed setup tool especially for 1:8 Buggy and Truggy is very user-friendly, dimensionally accurate and innovative. Camber adjustment is easier than ever thanks to the centered ball-bearing pivot point, the camber indicator levels itself automatically by pressing lightly on the wheel. The displayed level can be “locked” during both camber and height adjustment to ensure easy alignment. The tool is also ideal for reading the values on both sides. The tool takes a camber of -6° to +6° which is easy and accurate to read in 1° increments. The height can be taken from 5mm to 42mm. The increments of the height scale are 1mm. The ergonomic design also offers optimum handling.
Xray has created a Horizontal Body Post Mounting Gauge for their X4F 1:10 FWD Electric Touring Car.

Reedy has introduced its all-new Sonic SP5 25.5 A-Spec stock motors with minor changes to the stator improving torque for racers who utilise 25.5 motors in competition. The incredible performance of the SP5 starts at the heart of the motor, the stator. Designed in-house, the stator’s profile is intended to achieve maximum torque and power output without sacrificing RPM. High-quality copper magnet wire, sized to the maximum that the rules allow and wound with care to keep resistance near the legal minimum, is treated with heat transfer epoxy to dissipate heat and reduce internal temperatures resulting in less fade over the course of the race. An oversized collector ring not only dissipates heat, but in conjunction with thick solder tabs, reduces resistance and power loss. The balanced rotor features a high-strength magnet that takes full advantage of dimensional rules to produce fade-free power with maximum effectiveness. The rotor is supported by precision stainless steel ball bearings to accommodate high RPM loads with exceptional efficiency and reliability. Like all Reedy Sonic motors, a high-quality sensor board rounds out the motor’s interior. Externally, the SP5 utilizes a lightweight two-piece CNC machined aluminium housing with an aluminium endcap and timing adjustability to accommodate fine-tuning for specific applications.
