WRP Stock ’26 Pro 10 Chassis

Wolff Racing Products, the niche Austrian manufacturer founded by Roman Wolff, has introduced its latest Pro 10 chassis, the WRP Stock ’26. The new car has been tested and developed throughout this season with that resulting in the new chassis being very light, weighing between 1025-1040g depending on the configuration, with 6500 shorty batteries. Furthermore, the centre of gravity has been lowered with the chassis made to sit 3-4mm lower overall. Another important detail of the new car is the 7mm differential axle, which is more stable and produces less vibration.

Mazzeo tops opening GT Worlds qualifier in chilly Chile

Raptor’s Alessio Mazzeo has taken the opening qualifier at the IFMAR 1:8 GT World Championships in Santiago, Chile, drivers at the 3rd running of the championships experiencing chilly conditions at the Club de Aeromodelos de Chile track. Having topped yesterday’s seeding practice, Mazzeo was able to maintain his form as the driver to beat despite temperatures today being 10-degrees cooler than the previous days of practice. The only driver to manage 20-laps over the first of the six 7-minute runs, the large circuit with its blue infield proving a big hit with drivers, Mazzeo’s closet challenger would be 2023 Sydney Podium finisher Andrea Catanzani – that was once the Serpent driver had a post tech disqualification revoked for failing the rear wing height inspection when it was discovered the measurement was incorrectly taken. 2.5 seconds off Catanzani, Capricorn’s Alex D’angelo completed the Top 3 ahead of Natanaele Senesi who posted the fastest lap of Q1 with Puerto Rico’s Carli Lopez recording a P5 ahead of IGT8’s Diego Morganti. With IFMAR referee Javier Garcia summing up the CACH facility best when he called it ‘A Disneyland for RC’, unfortunately it looks like GT’s opportunity to shine on its stage could be dampened by the weather which is set to turn bad going into the weekend. With that in mind, today drivers face a busy schedule of 4-rounds of qualifying with the final two rounds scheduled for tomorrow as IFMAR look to beat the weather in that particular off track race. Based off that revised schedule, the new 1:8 GT World Champion, as unfortunately Hong Nor’s Toni Gruber made a late decision not to travel to Chile and defend his title, is set to be now crowned on Friday.

JConcepts Illuzion 7.0″ Monster Wing w/ Centre Divider

New from JConcepts comes this Illuzion 7.0″ Monster Wing with Center Divider for 1:10 Offroad Buggy. The Florida company has championed the large 7” Illuzion style wing since early 2000’s and used it with several model bodies over the years. Originally released in 2005, the Illuzion 7” wing was used by Spencer Rivkin to win the 2019 IFMAR World Championship in 2WD Buggy along with the JConcepts centre divider. Combining these items has been quite routine over the years when racers are looking for additional rear grip and drag. 20 years later, JConcepts has revived this design, added a few exclusive new features, and added the centre divider into the same base molded feature. The broad base, the ability to run a long chord length, and updated clearance allows the rear tires to blend nicely with the traditional V-shaped figure. The item arrives un-trimmed so the user can adjust sizing to the regulated rules to get maximum performance out of the package. The divider can also be trimmed to specification and drops right down and maintains the same look and profile as the monster wing itself.
