Red RC live event coverage is returning

After more than a 2 year forced absence, we are very excited to announce that Red RC will resume our live event coverage after the summer. With our last race attended being the TITC in April of 2020, we are dusting off our equipment and sharpening our pencils and hitting the road again, starting in September with the ISTC Touring Car World Championships held in the amazing Gubbio, Italy. We will follow that up in November with the 1/10th Nitro World Championships at the always awesome RC Addict track in Bangkok, Thailand. From there we hope to announce further events for 2023 and beyond. Of course we cant do this without a lot of support and so we wish to thank Monaco RC for sponsoring our coverage in Italy and to a very generous supporter from the USA for making the coverage of both events possible. We look forward to being back trackside this September in Italy, bringing you our trademark high quality reports, photos and action videos.

Team Associated 7″ pre-cut wing

Team Associated have introduced a new 7″ pre-cut wing for 1:10 scale off-road buggies. The new, higher downforce 7″ wing adds additional high-speed stability over the currently available 6.5″ wing for when track layouts and conditions call for it. In general, more downforce will be desired on tracks that have high grip or a lot of high-speed and sweeping corners. Sold as one clear, pre-cut wing per package. Wing mount dimples are not drilled.

JConcepts 2020 Ford Raptor BF Power logo MT body

JConcepts lowers the boom on the latest body for Losi LMT and Axial SMT10 vehicles. The BF Power logo is a collaboration between JConcepts and the gracious Bigfoot 4X4 team on a fantasy style and fan inspired scheme. The identity is produced to lay out on the JC 2020 Ford Raptor body which is popular in the RC and full-size monster truck community. As one of the best performing and most accurate body shells on the market, the Raptor fits well and allows the trucks to reach their maximum potential. The decal scheme itself pops. Large racing bolts make their way on to the sides of the body giving a nod to racer stripe schemes from the past. The bolts continue through the A-pillar area and over the nose in dual fashion to bring excitement from the side to the front-end. The BF logo treatment is developed to stand-out and fill door space featuring an updated digital desert landscape as inside artwork. A large selection of official sponsors, Bigfoot terminology and miscellaneous JConcepts decal finish off one of the nicest logo packages around.
