Coming from ARC and made for their R11 Mid mid-motor chassis conversion kit is a white 3mm wide low-friction belt. Usable at both the front and the rear due to the equal length design, the belt will reduce the natural drivetrain drag at the expense of a bit of durability, making the belt especially useful for stock racing classes that benefit from a more free running drivetrain.

RC Carbon Cavalieri from Germany have introduced their new IBR rear carbon fibre shock tower for the HB Racing D819 and D817v2 buggies. Machined from high-quality aluminium the shock tower utilises three different wing mounting positions, allowing to mount the win in +7mm, +11mm and +15mm positions which allows to fine-tune overall downforce and car behaviour during jumping. It is understood that the shock geometry matches the standard shock tower.

The final round of the inaugural JConcepts NCTS was held at Thunder Road RC Raceway in Waite Park, Minnesota over the weekend. The popularity of carpet and turf racing is definitely on the rise and without any doubts whatsoever, racing on artificial surfaces is clean, consistent, and drivers always have a good amount of grip. As the NCTS season 1 comes to an end, the organisers are convinced that the carpet wave will carry strong into 2020 and beyond. For the season finale, the hype was high as many of the team drivers have been raving about the facility and they are completely right. The layout was actually very cool. It was a reflection of itself if you were to split it down the middle. With the jumps and features laid out in a manner that challenged drivers, it wasn’t an easy track to get around going 100 precent. However, cruise around at 80 percent, it was very easy. The double vertical chicanes haven’t been done in a while, but definitely, required precision and commitment to get the hot laps. The jumps were quite easy, which promoted close racing and many laps of battling on the track that ultimately made for a wonderful race experience. Overall, it was a fun layout that favoured cars with balanced setups that inspired confidence and control.

The epic carpet showdown in 2WD Modified was unreal. Having some of the fastest carpet drivers on hand demonstrated just how fast you can go around the track with a 2WD buggy. A1 went to Team Associated’s Broc Champlin, which put the entire field under immense pressure. With Broc known to be one of the nation’s best on the rug, it was going to be a difficult task to stop him in A2. However, Yokomo’s Ryan Cavalieri had it all under control in A2, until the very last lap. Miss timing his braking point, Cavalieri jumped his car across the camel hump and passed the no-fly zone and was disqualified. With Cav’s DQ, A2 went to Team Associated’s Joona Haatanen. With Cav in redemption mode, he drove a perfect A3 and won the main making it three different winners in three mains. With three points total, Broc Champlin was crowned your 2WD Midwest Carpet Champion. Cavalieri finished in 2nd with four points and winning the tie-breaker against Joona Haatanen was Team Associated’s Cole Tollard, who is very new to carpet racing and progressed quickly throughout the weekend.

With a dialled 4WD, Team Associated’s Broc Champlin was unstoppable in the triple A-Mains. In fact, Broc only needed two mains to lock up the overall as he was able to win A1 and A2 over a very fast field of 4WD mod drivers. Joona Haatanen was peaking just at the right time and was able to challenge Broc for the win by finishing 2nd in both mains and only less than a second back. Also in the hunt for the 4WD Mod victory was 4-time world champion, Ryan Cavalieri, but a mistake in each main cost Cav valuable time and landed him 3rd fastest overall at this year’s Midwest Carpet Nationals.

In 40+ 2WD Mod Buggy and with the King of 40+ in the mix, it was going to be a tall task for anyone to challenge the fast AE team manager. Nearly matching Brent Thielke’s speed, Yokomo’s Thor Ott came close. After eight long minutes, Thor was 2.2 seconds back from an always fast, always deadly Brent Thielke. Thor finished 2nd while Serpent’s Brian Bohlman put his carpet mastery to the test, as he used the brand new Serpent SRX2 Gen3, to put himself on the podium.

Tekno’s Sean VanDalen and Matthew Mickelson put on a fantastic show in the 4WD Mini Truggy class as the two swapped leads throughout the entire race. In the end, Mickelson pushed hard to recapture the lead but came up just .4 seconds short. Sean was composed and crossed the line in 1st and took a well-earned win. Matthew finished 2nd and wrapping up the final podium spot was Daniel Cost.

Tekno’s Seth VanDalen was focused and fierce in the 13.5 4WD class. With a terrific effort in qualifying earning the TQ, Seth led comfortably in the main, but an unfortunate roll over saw Yokomo’s Matthew Gonzales take over the lead. Unfortunately for Matthew, a lap traffic incident saw the lead switch back to VanDalen and from there, the gap was too big to close and Seth crossed the line taking a huge win. Matthew went on to finish 2nd with Minnesota’s own, Team Associated’s Kyle Holmberg, closing out the top 3 making it two podium finishes for Holmberg.

Norcal’s Jovy Levin was on fire in the 13.5 Stadium Truck A-Main as he suffered a few mishaps in qualifying. With speed and grace, Jovy made his way around class TQ, Clayton Cartalucca, and hit the afterburners to eventually cross the line in 1st. Clayton edged out a hard-charging Nick Cummins by .3 seconds to lock up 2nd as Cummins finished 3rd overall.

It was Nick Cummins and James Dolan who fought for the win in the 13.5 SCT class with Cummins grabbing the lead early in the race and never looked back. James went on to finished 2.1 seconds from Cummins keeping him on his toes the entire eight minutes. The final spot on the podium went to Chance Rohlk.

In 17.5 2WD Expert Buggy it was a clinic for Yokomo’s Matthew Gonzales, as he showed his speed in practice and qualifying to produce a flawless 8-minute final and dominated a very competitive 17.5 2WD Expert class. Tekno’s Seth VanDalen had great pace and proved he is a contender in the Midwest and finished 2nd overall. Finding the speed to top the rest, Team Associated’s Kyle Holmberg nearly finished 2nd and was only 0.193 seconds back and finished 3rd.

The success of the 21.5 Independent class shows that there’s a place in the industry for an easy-to-race, cost-effective, entry-level class for new racers and for racers that can’t often make it to the track. This zero sponsor class was nearly full this weekend and showed some real racing talent. Having made the trip to 702, RC Madness, and Thunder Road Raceway, Trevor Goff has shown that he’s one of the best independent drivers out there. Slotting himself 2nd through 3 rounds of qualifying, Trevor put his experience to the test and came out on top winning the 8 minute A-Main. Making moves and working his way up from the back of the pack. 10th place qualifier, Andrew Joarnt, powered his way through the field and finished 2nd. Fighting until the last lap, Bruce Collins rounded out the top 3.

Dario Balestri has got the defence of his 1:8 Onroad World title off to a strong start by becoming the Top Seed for qualifying at Steel City RC Speedway in California.  The Infinity driver capped off today’s seeding practice by posting the fastest time of the day in the fourth & final round with a considerable advantage over second fastest for the round Toni Gruber.  Behind the Italian, Naoto Matsukura made it an Infinity 1-2 in seeding being the only other driver to top the time sheets when he went fastest in the third round.  Having a tough day by his normal standards, Simon Kurzbuch would manage to complete seeding in the Top 3 but openly admitted the gap to his great rival Balestri was quite a big one.  Having surprised with his second fastest time in the opening seeding round, JJ Wang is the 4th seed ahead of young Italian talent Jonathan Gandin with former Champion Tadahiko Sahashi completing the Top 6.

After dropping off the top of the time sheets for the first time in third round of seeding, Balestri’s reaction to his final run was ‘now I am happy the car is perfect.  Sometimes you feel you can’t arrive at perfect but now the car is really perfect’.  He continued, ‘Don’t ask what I changed on the car because I don’t tell you, but it was the right way’.  Asked about consistent over the 7-minutes that now counts for qualifying, he replied, ‘Today was only three laps but my car is fast and super consistent which is you can ask for qualifying’.

Despite crashing out of the final round but luckily having set the 10th fastest time to secure 2nd overall, Matsukura explained, ‘the traction was more high and the car was a little edge.  I couldn’t go full punch and had a mistake in the chicane and hit the wall which broke the car.  Also the engine wasn’t so good’.  Despite this, the Top Seed on his Onroad nitro Worlds debut two years ago in France declared himself ‘ready for qualifying’ pointing out the first round should have less traction and so he should be OK adding he will also have one of his good engines fitted.

‘Another difficult run’, was Kurzbuch reaction at the conclusion of seeding.  The Shepherd driver explained, ‘the track change that much in the last 2-hours our set-up was not good enough.  We need to understand the changes to the track better so that we can have our car right for them’.  The reigning ENS Champion, a battle fought out between him and Balestri, he concluded, ‘right now 1st position feels really far from reach but let’s see’.

On his P4 seeding, Wang said he felt while his results following a strong opening round don’t reflect it they ‘made progress’ over the day.  The Mugen driver added, ‘we had bad luck some rounds so we didn’t show our real pace but I think we have a good car for qualifying so I will do what I do’.  Asked about running the full 7-minutes in qualifying he replied, ‘My full run pace is better than my 3-laps so I think I am ready for tomorrow.  Everything with the car seems good now’.

Leaving his best run to last, recording the third fastest time of Round 4, Gandin said making the top heat for qualifying was a ‘real surprise’ and ‘absolutely not expected’.  Running a prototype car, the ARC driver who has renowned nitro onroad mechanic Stefano Colombini looking after him in the pitlane, he didn’t change the car set-up during the day but instead tried different positioning of weight in the car each run’.  His second 1:8 Worlds appearance having raced in France, the 16-year-old is confident that he can translate his 3-lap pace into a competitive 7-minute performance.

Finally there was a change at the top of the timing sheets at the 1:8 World Championships as Naoto Matsukura set the pace in the third round of seeding.  Having suffered a heavy crash in the previous round, the Infinity driver came back to set the fastest 3-consecutive laps of the day ahead of a much improved Simon Kurzbuch.  Having been the benchmark up to now, Dario Balestri would set the third fastest time ahead of fellow Italian Alessio Mazzeo with Jesse Davis and Robert Pietsch completing the Top 6.

Commenting on his performance, Matsukura said, ‘My car was very good in the second round.  I did the warm-up and broke in the tyres but then the steering failed and I had a big crash.  I had to rebuild the car and fit a new chassis as it was a little bent from the crash but I ran the same set-up’.  The reigning 1:10 Nitro World Champion admitted that while he got the fastest 3-laps the car started to struggle half way through the run saying, ‘after 4-minutes the car was not so stable and the lap times were up and down so for the last one I will make a change to the front of the car’.

Kurzbuch said, ‘we changed a lot on the car.  We made the same changes as Patrick (Schafer) made on his car the previous round’.  Asked about the changes he said, ‘we changed the geometry and the body to take out some steering so we could run a clean round without flipping’.  While happy with the improvement the Shepherd driver aired caution about the set-up saying, ‘yesterday we set a good time in the evening but I am not sure the set-up will work all day but this was a result we needed after the the results we had in Rounds 1 & 2 (of seeding)’.

Asked about his P3 time, the Top 3 cars pulled in to technical inspection to have their pipes tested, Balestri said, ‘we tried something and it doesn’t work so we will just come back to our old set-up and tried something else’.  The Infinity driver elaborated, ‘we went super hard in the front (of the car) and it was the wrong way’.

Leading Xray’s challenge at Steel City RC Speedway, Mazzeo said, ‘this morning the car was super good.  Our focus was to get the car not to flip.  It is easy to have a fast car but we work to make our car more easy’.  He continued, ‘If you flip a few times in qualifying you will loose a lot of time.  For sure our car is still on the limit but hopefully it will not flip and this is the direction we have worked towards all week.  We have the speed to fight’.  Running a car on which they are ‘testing some new stuff’, Mazzeo concluded, ‘today is only about 3-laps and not a true picture of how it will be in qualifying.  Many drivers are flipping many times in their runs today’.

‘I think I just drove well then’ was how Davis summed up his best run.  The Australian continued, ‘I didn’t really change much set-up wise but the car was lacking power, heavy to drive and boring’.  Describing the set-up as ‘safe’, the Infinity driver said, ‘its lacking steering so its not fast over 3-laps but over a qualifying distance the pace is still but we’ll try a few things for the next one to make it a little livelier’.

Dario Balestri continues to set the pace at the 1:8 World Championships with the Infinity driver topping the second round of seeding practice at Steel City RC Speedway. Slightly slower track conditions saw Balestri go fastest over 3-consecutive laps as Japanese drivers came to the fore with Infinity team-mate Takaaki Shimo putting in the second fastest time ahead of Shoki Takahata and 2013 World Champion Tadahiko Sahashi.  While Carmine Raiola had an improve run setting the fourth fastest time, for some of the expected title contenders it was a tough round. Simon Kurzbuch was only 28th as he struggled with his car traction rolling, a problem which also left Dominic Greiner uncompetitive for the round.  Star of the last 1:8 Worlds, Naoto Matsukura had a spectacular exit from the round when his steering came off as he turned off the straight resulting in his car being firmly buried under the track barrier.

Commenting on his latest run, Balestri said, ‘I am still first so it’s all good but I still think we can improve something in the car’.  The defending Champion continued, ‘It is too much on the limit.  I don’t really know what to change to improve it but I think maybe we will change the body for the next one’.

Running a prototype of Infinity’s next 1:8 chassis release along with Lamberto Collari while the rest of the team run the current IF18, Shimo said, ‘the car was good but my clutch was slipping a little’.  Improving the car the multiple World Vice Champion said, ‘I made the car lower.  The first round it was not bad but I lowered the ride height .5mm and it made it easier to drive’.  Asked if he had more changes planned for the 3rd of the 4 seeding rounds he said, ‘the car is good so I will leave it and just tighten the clutch’.

Having tried a different set-up for the first run of the day which he described as ‘not good’, Takahata returned to his ‘good’ free practice set-up for the second run and in doing so returned to form.  Running a front chassis stiffer from Yurugix on his Mugen, which he says has improved his car a lot in the high traction conditions here in California, the 25-year-old Worlds podium finisher wants to try to make his car quicker from the start of the run.  Like the majority of drivers, he said his car is not good at the beginning of the run and this is an area he wants to focus on improving ahead of qualifying tomorrow and he will now discuss with his team what possible changes to make for this.

Sahashi was happy with his run claiming his car was now good from the start of the run right through to the end of the 8-minutes. Changing to a softer rear spring he said this made the car easier to driver particular in the left side chicane’.  With former 1:10 World Champion Keisuke Fukuda as his pitman this week, he plans to discuss further set-up changes for the third round which should take place at the hottest time of the day.

‘It was better this round’, was Raiola’s reaction to his P5 time. Only 20th on his first seeding attempt, the Italian explained, ‘we changed the shock oil to harder and and made the ride height super down in the rear.  It made it want to flip less so I was able to drive now.  We will try harder oil in the front now and see what happens’.

Dario Balestri has picked up from where he left in free practice yesterday to go quickest in the opening round of seeding at the 1:8 Onroad World Championships in California this morning.  The Infinity driver set his fastest three laps before getting caught out by the extra high morning traction with a roll that chunked at rear tyre and ended his run a minute & a half early.  Behind the reigning Champion, JJ Wang surprised even himself with the second fastest time, the Mugen driver running in the heat before that of Balestri.  Making a return to World Championship action after some time out from the sport, Steven Jovanovic was another surprise at the front of the times sheets as he posted the 3rd fastest time for the first of the 4 rounds of seeding practice.  Next up it was Dominic Greiner in fourth place followed by Silvio Hachler and 2011 World Champion Robert Pietsch.  For 2015 World Champion Simon Kurzbuch the extra traction caused him problems and his Shepherd made contact with the Steel City RC Speedway barriers leaving him 8th fastest.

Summing up his effort Balestri said, ‘It was ok.  I just did not drive so good but anyway it was enough’.  The calm and very collected Italian continued, ‘there was again more traction and I was not able to drive perfect and I rolled’.  Asked if changing the car or adjusting his driving style was the best solution, he replied, ‘the problem is if you stop the flip you stop being fast.  Even with the best set-up in these conditions you have to manage the driving.  I think it’s the same for everyone’.

‘I’m pretty surprised to be honest’ was Wang’s reaction to his 3-laps which were just 6/100th off Balestri.  The American driver continued, ‘the car was super hard to drive in the beginning so I just wanted to get the run over with.  I didn’t see that (time) coming’.  Hoping he can maintain his strong start to the day he will try to improve the car for his second run saying, ‘Everyone is having difficulty at the start, the traction is so high but we will make a few changes and it should be better for the next one’.

Reacting to his time, Jovanovic said, ‘I cant complain, the car is good and the engine is super good’.  The Australian, who is running Capricorn’s new 804 Prototype, explained, ‘the first time I drove the car was when I got here and we got the set-up right pretty quickly after a day or so’.  He continued, ‘clutches and engines were the biggest issue but we got that sorted now and as a combo it’s now working great’.  Looking to his next run, he said, ‘If I can be a little more consistent in my driving we will be alright’.

‘Better’ was Greiner’s reaction to his P4 time.  The Serpent driver continued, ‘now it’s on four wheels all the time but we need a little more steering, then it is good’.  The German also felt he lacked power from his engine saying, ‘the engine was not good so we will change to another one’.  He concluded, ‘things are looking better now than they were yesterday’.

Enjoying consistency in his form having had strong runs throughout free practice, Hachler said, ‘It was a good run I think’.  The ARC driver said, ‘now there is more grip like two days ago and my car is so easy to drive’ before jokingly remarking ‘I hope the traction will increase’.  Happy with his car’s performance, the Swiss racer who finished 5th at the previous Worlds in France two years ago said, ‘we will just change to another engine for the next one to make sure we have three good engines ready for qualification and the racing’.

Lamberto Lamberti – Nuovo sistema di aiuto alla guida – Update.

Circa un anno fa abbiamo pubblicato una news (QUI) relativa a un particolare sistema esclusivamente meccanico, che a detta dell’inventore, il signor Lamberto Lamberti e come convalidato dalle testimonianze di carattere non solo audiovisivo, era in grado di garantire notevoli benefici alla guida di automodelli e auto in scala 1:1 con spazi e tempi di arresto inferiori a quelli forniti dalle attuali tecnologie, contribuendo non solo a migliorare le prestazioni sul giro di automodelli e auto in scala 1:1, ma anche a salvare vite umane.
Lo stesso Lamberto Lamberti ci segnala oggi che la domanda di deposito di brevetto del sistema è stata esaminata con riscontro positivo e si ha la certezza che non esiste alcun sistema simile noto. A tal proposito la domanda è stata estesa al resto del mondo. Si inizia ad avere quindi finalmente la certezza che il sistema potrà essere industrializzato e quindi reso fruibile a tutti.

Lo Staff dietro al progetto è quindi ora molto più propenso a concedere le informazioni per la realizzazione del sistema.
Qualsiasi Azienda interessata può richiedere informazioni (che verranno rilasciate gratuitamente) scrivendo all’indirizzo e.mail lambertilamberto@libero.it .

Il vantaggio per l’Azienda sarà non solo quello di poter testare il prodotto ma anche di verificarne il funzionamento e l’efficacia con riscontri reali. Ulteriore vantaggio sarà costituito dal fatto che, in quanto l’applicazione della nuova tecnologia comporterà certamente dei piccoli aggiustamenti da apportare alla componentistica, avere a disposizione queste informazioni produrrà per le Aziende interessate un vantaggio per la realizzazione industriale in maniera da essere più reattivi sul mercato e ottenerne una porzione maggiore di mercato.

The opening round of the Czech Masters, a new electric off-road series in the Czech Republic, was held at the Sport Arena Prague last weekend. The schedule saw four rounds of qualifying followed by triple A-mains, however due to unfortunate tech issues in the morning, qualifying had to be cut short to three qualifiers. Young Max Götzl was in control of things in the 2WD Buggy, 4WD Buggy and Stadium Truck class as he was able to top qualify all of them. In the Truck class it was Frank Hempel 2nd and Miroslav Loupy 3rd, in 2WD and 4WD Jiri Mara lined up 2nd on the grid and Michal Blahovsky was 3rd in 2WD and Dominik Vlasek 3rd in 4WD.

Max and Jiri then had a great fight in the opening A-main of 2WD. Max was easily pulling away at first and already had a comfortable lead, but because of a mistake of Max, Jiri was able to pass him with a few laps to go, however Max was able to take the win as he got past Jiri in a last corner manoeuvre. A2 was similar, but this time Max made the mistake earlier, so the fight was on from the first laps. Max made a nice pass on Jiri and then lead the race to the finish line to take the overall win. Jiri took overall 2nd and Matej Sulc 3rd, after some bad luck in the A3.

The 4WD finals there were a pretty straight forward affair for Max as he was able to stay on all four wheels the whole time in A1 and A2 to take the overall win. Jiri finished again in 2nd place and Michal Blahovsky took an overall 3rd.

In Truck Max was able to take an easy win in A1 and A2 to take the early overall, in front of Frank Hempel in 2nd and Miroslav Loupy in 3rd place.
