Another new battery pack from LRP. Replacing the Graphene4 5900mAh shorty, the new version comes with the capacity of 6200mAh for even more runtime. The battery pack has a height of 25.1mm and a weight of 224g (+-4%). This shorty is interesting for everybody who is racing 1:10 scale FWD, Formula 1, as well as 2WD and 4WD Buggy and Truck.
LRP has just published a new version of their famous Graphene4.1 LiPo Batteries. It is a hyper LCG shorty pack with 3700mAh at 7,6V. The pack was created especially for stock racing and here is the official announcement from LRP:
Stock Racers asked for it – we deliver!
The GRAPHENE-4.1 3700 HV Hyper LCG Stock Spec Shorty Hardcase Battery – 7.6V LiPo – 135C/65C #432287 is out now!
We have been frequently asked for the Lowest Internal Resistance (IR), Lightest and Lowest Center of Gravity (LCG) Shorty Battery possible.
So how did we go about it?
We use the case of the very popular G4.1 4200 Modified battery (#432273) with Hyper LCG design of just 18.5mm height for the lowest possible centre of gravity and put the lowest IR cell construction possible inside and this makes the all new 3700 Stock Spec battery (#432287). The battery comes in at only 155g (+-4%).
A clear testament to LRP’s commitment to excellence!
Latest technology paired with proven High Voltage technology, 5mm gold connectors and our trademark blue seethrough hardcase.
Available right in time for the upcoming carpet season!

Mugen Seiki factory driver Ronald Völker won the electric Singapore International Challenge ahead of Yokomo driver Nicholas Lee and Infinity racer Naoto Matsukura last weekend. The race was held at the RCMC Singapore track and attracted over 100 entries in different classes. Ronald was TQ after qualifying and due to massive rain it was not possible to run any finals on track meaning the drivers to finish the race as they had qualified.
Here is a part of Ronald Völker`s social media post:
Back home with TQ = Win at the 2023 electric Singapore International Challenge!
Had a relatively short but amazing time in the beautiful country of Singapore despite it was raining from time to time including heavy rain just before the finals which meant results remain unchanged after qualification. Special thanks to Nicholas Lee, Daryl Thong and the Radio Control Modellers’ Club – RCMC Singapore for hosting a great and flawless event, looking forward to come back! Also great to hear and see Scotty Ernst recovering and doing what he is famous forAs lately, my LRP powered Mugen Seiki MTC2R was on point right from the first practice runs and I was able to be top seed and winning 3 of 4 quali rounds.

The HGT update kit for the Mi8 has been hugely popular and provided some fantastic results. For the winter season an Alloy Chassis version will be available soon. This chassis is suitable if you have already purchased the HGT C/F kit in the past. (U8562)

The fourth round of the actual ETS Season #16 2023/24 will take place in the Trans World Hotel Auefeld in Hann. Münden, GER from 16th to 19th of November 2023. It is the first indoor race of the actual season and last year`s race at the same venue was a tremendous success with over 270 entries. The ETS crew will work hard from now on to ensure another highlight of the season for you. We hope to see the same amount of interest from your side as we had last year, and maybe we can reach the mark of 300 or more entries – that would be awesome!
Registration is OPEN
The registration on MyRCM is open. Be quick and place your entry to give us a first impression what we need to organize in case of tables, chairs, pit space, catering, and so on!
The race in Hann. Münden is scheduled as a 4-day event. Sometimes we get asked for 3-day events but we have decided to make it the usual 4 days. We like to give everybody enough track- and especially practice time, which will be more difficult with a fully booked 3-day event. As we expect the same amount of entries as last year, we just don`t like to extend the very long days into midnight or cut qualifying heats down to 4 minutes. We think that we are way more flexible with the 4-day format and it also helps us with the logistics, the media team setup, and many other little things.
All drivers who can not come for practice on Thursday will get the chance to have at least 2 free practice runs on track early Friday morning before the normal schedule continues. We will control this at the driver stand to make it fair and relativeley for everybody.
Available from: Wednesday, 15.11. to Sunday, 19.11.2023
Room Rates:
Single Room 114,–€ per night including Breakfast and Dinner (Buffet) Double Room 159,–€ per night including Breakfast and Dinner (Buffet)
Note: The accommodation tax of the city of Hann. Münden of 3.5% is not included. This tax is only levied on the accommodation fee (i.e. excluding the catering portion) and is also payable on site at the end of the stay.

Great news from the UK where Elliott Harer has announced his return to the world of RC racing. Here is the Schumacher press release for you:
Schumacher Racing are delighted to welcome back IFMAR Worlds, EFRA European podium finisher, and former BRCA Champion Elliott Harper to the team. Elliott stepped away from racing in 2020 but the love that is RC is still in the blood and we’re glad he chose us to come back with. He had the following to say;
“I’m really excited to be re-joining the Schumacher team. I retired from racing after a 16-year career in 2020 to spend more time on life outside the RC world. However, and like many others, I couldn’t stay away from the sport I loved! I enjoyed some great years working with Schumacher in the past between 2015 and 2018, and I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds with our new partnership. I’ll primarily be racing in the UK, focussing on the BRCA Nationals and Essex Winter Series (EWS). I can’t wait to see you all again at the track soon – do pop over for a chat and say ‘hi’!”
Eliott Harper (UK) Schumacher
Alongside the Mi8 HGT he will use Hobbywing electronics and Intellect batteries to power his ride.
Elliott’s first race will be the final BRCA National at Colchester on 16-17th September.
As lately, my LRP powered Mugen Seiki MTC2R was on point right from the first practice runs and I was able to be top seed and winning 3 of 4 quali rounds.
