2024 SIGP Offroad Chassis Focus Index

After a 4 year break, the last SIGP Offroad Race being held in 2019, China’s top annual international offroad race returned with its best entry yet as three World Champions made the trip to the former 1:10 Offroad World Championship host track in Xiamen. With almost 100 entries in Nitro Buggy and 53 in Electric Buggy, racers’ biggest rival of 2024 will be remembered as the track, even the best in the World describing it as their most challenging race of the year. While the European visitors dominated, Italian Mattia Polito really impressing and putting on a great show in the final against a certain Davide Ongaro, we had the opportunity to include the Ming Yang buggy of 2023 FEMCA Champion Jeff Wang in our Chassis Focus. The Taiwanese driver was the top Asian qualifier and finisher, coming home in P7. Featuring buggies from Team Associated, Sworkz, Xray and Mayako, we were also able to photograph each of the podium finishing eBuggies. One buggy we couldn’t include in our Chassis Focus was the WIRC of 18-year-old Italian racer Gabriel Astorino, both his Nitro and eBuggy running new front hubs that are set to appear on the Italian manufacturer’s 2025 kits early next year.

Power HD Balance Weight Crawler Servos

Power HD has released a new Crawler servo series that includes two Balance Weight servos. The cases of WT162 and WT120 are made of pure brass material and can be used directly as balance weight servos. When used in a simulated crawler frame designed with a servo on the beam, the weight on the beam can be heavier and the posture of the whole car can be better. Used in a competition performance crawler frame designed with a servo on the bridge, the weight on the bridge can be higher and the crawling performance can be better. Both WT162 and WT120 use brushless motors and support the Flysky i-BUS2 protocol. The servo status can be directly observed on the Flysky NB4 series radio in real time, and the servo parameters can be programmed on the radio. WT80 and WT85 use aluminium heat sink case, and the servos on various crawler frames have strong torque and speed, and the performance is also excellent. WT series servos are all made of steel gears, IP67 waterproof, durable, and can be used in various environments and perform well in 1:10 and 1:8 simulation crawlers and competition crawlers.
