Due to the immense help of Sascha Klug and the 1.MRC Wiener Neustadt, the ETS is able to step into this fantastic facility for the season final.

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!

Völker wins eSIC race in Singapore

0

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 for🎙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.

Registration open for ETS RD4 Season #16 2023/24 in Hann. Münden

0

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!

4-day event in Hann. Münden

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.
