MonTech New York Grand Prix Chassis Focus Index

Last weekend Red RC returned stateside for the 7th edition of the MonTech New York Grand Prix at the 360V2 indoor track in New Rochelle. One of the highlights on the annual US onroad racing calendar and having attended the Donny Lia organised event for the first time in 2024, this year attracted a strong international entry but there was little they could do about top US driver Sam Isaacs. The US Champion would complete the double, winning both Modified 1:12 and Modified Touring Car for Awesomatix. While Isaacs was testing new parts on his 1:12, meaning we couldn’t photograph the car for a Chassis Focus, we did get to feature his winning A800RR Touring Car. The NYGP would see the US debut of Xray’s all new X4’26 and with just two examples of the Slovakian manufacturer’s latest touring car in the country we got to photograph both of them, one being the Stock car of NYGP first timer Jan Ratheisky and the other being the Modified example of US Team Manager Drew Ellis. In 1:12 we got to feature cars from three different manufacturers including 2024 Champion Kemp Anderson’s Awesomatix, the CRC of returning former NYGP Champion Ollie Payne who made the trip over from the United Kingdom, and the latest Excelerate Prodigy 12 from the car’s designer Josh Cyrul. Additionally we got to include the 25.5 LMH winning Express of Charles Bruno and the FWD class Xray of Top Qualifier Andy Brooks to complete our latest Chassis Focus Index.

Rêve D RDX MC-III Conversion Kit

Japanese RC Drift specialists ReveD has released the MC-III conversion kit for their popular RDX 1:10 drift car. The use of machined aluminium and carbon fibre parts improves precision and rigidity in every component, resulting in improved front grip and superior cornering performance. The main chassis and upper deck feature a new MC-III design optimised for the significantly stiffer bulkhead. The battery holder area also prioritises chassis flex and is lightweight. The entire chassis and upper deck flexes, ensuring high traction while improving handling stability. The kit also features newly designed upper arms. These specifications allow for future tuning, such as wider turn ing angles and narrower scrub radius with optional tuning parts to be announced soon. Additionally, a newly developed front body mount stay for the magnetic mount allows for front-to-rear position adjustment, making installation easier on a variety of chassis types.

Associated RC28R Team Kit with Radbody & Tyres

Having entered the 1:28 market with the release of the RC28R during the Summer, Team Associated has teamed up with category body shell specialists Radbody to offer the kit with the Mako X body shell plus tyres. Mako X gives Radbody’s most successful GT Body some revisions to make it a little more stable and precise in high traction conditions. The Revisions include some ridges above the front wheel well and a lower rear window and wing. The front end changes make the steering inputs more crisp without making it nervous, while the lower rear window generates more downforce. This allowed them to lower the rear wing substantially, and when combined with the lower window the result is a car that stays more flatter for more high speed stability and better control in high traction conditions. The Steel chassis RC28R with its fixed-arm front suspension created a huge buzz in the 1:28 racing community on its launch and the car will shortly face its biggest competition so far when it takes on established brands like Reflex Racing and RC Atomic at the upcoming PNWC. The annual PN Racing World Cup takes place in United Stated this year at 5280 Raceway in Denver, Colorado, from November 6-9th.
