Genius FR2.24 1:5 Formula 1

New from Italian large scale and 1:8 GT manufacturer Genius is their FR2.24 high performance 1:5 scale Formula 1 competition car. The latest car is a technological evolution of the previous FR2.EVO 2021 and features a new rear upright system for quick and easy wheelbase and weight balance adjustment. Using the included shims, both rear blocks can be moved rearward to adjust weight balance depending on track condition. The car also gets easy access to the differential for quick setup changes or maintenance. One of the design goals of the FR2.24 was to make the whole chassis have an extremely low centre of gravity, to make the car even easier to drive. The rear suspension has been designed to incorporate the push-rod system with the fully adjustable stabiliser bar and a highly smooth gear transmission. The new central chassis FR2.24 is characterised by the low profile of the radio plate and the brake master cylinders. The new front suspension geometry is a mono-shock with a 100% functional stabiliser bar. Genius have introduced 4 new positions of the lower rear arm allowing the roll centre to be varied to improve the handling and the car is equipped with new low profile shock absorbers at both the front and rear. For this system they have designed a line of progressive springs and a line of linear springs. The new battery support and receiving box have been completely redesigned: more compact, lighter and more functional. The receiver box is designed to house MYLAPS transponder and the power connection and they have introduced a new servo saver with new Akermann geometries which allow better cornering.

RC Atomic MRX 1:28 pan car

1:28 specialist manufacturer RC Atomic is kicking of 2024 with the release of its new MRX pan car series which makes use of “Link-less Rear Pod” design meaning the traditional side links are removed from the car. The design sees a centre pivot and bearing-supported rear guide rail system introduced with the new system allowing driver to brake harder and accelerate earlier. This offers greater stability and consistency when braking/accelerating and steering input overlap as the rear pod movement is independent from chassis roll. This results in car being more consistent and more predictable to drive. Moreover, you do not have to worry about breaking side links during a race. One more benefit of Link-less system is you do not have to worry about the battery wire interfering with the side link and makes the car behave strangely.

Mod double for Hagberg at HUDY Indoor Champs

Alexander Hagberg completed the Mod double at the annual Hudy Indoor Champs at ProLevel RC in Chesterfield, Missouri, claiming both the Touring Car and 1:12 wins. Up on 2023 numbers with this year’s event attracting almost 180 entries, the Xray driver kicked off his 2024 season by securing the TQ in both classes. With 2023 Touring Car winner Keven Hebert absent this time round, Hagberg would go onto take the win ahead of second place qualifier & team-mate Jan Ratheisky with Kemp Anderson’s Awesomatix completing the podium. In 1:12, it was World Championship Top Qualifier Anderson who was the defending champion of the race but having been beaten to the win by the American last year Hagberg, fresh from his Worlds podium finish, was not about to let that happen again. In the 8-minute A-Main he would take the win by almost a lap from the second placed qualifier. Behind Anderson, Ratheisky completed the podium, the German having a busy weekend as he competed in four classes winning both Stock and Super Stock Touring Car finals.
