Press Release:

Results of the IFMAR World Championship 1/10th 4WD OFFROAD. It was held in Japan at 9/15-9/16/2007.

Two Hot Bodies Drivers (Atsushi Hara and Hayato Matsuzaki) and two Hot Bodies Cars Cyclone D4 were in A-main final.
This is a result,
6th position Atsushi Hara Cyclone D4
8th position Hayato Matsuzaki Cyclone D4

Hara was the fastest while at the track; however, he had some bad lack, so he ended up 6th overall.
Hayato Matsuzaki, current IFMAR 2wd off-road champion, changed his motor to CheckPoint from LRP on the final day. He likes the power response for CheckPoint brushed motor more than the LRP brushless motor. As a result, he ran better; however, he did not have enough time to optimize his chassis setup to match his motor, so he ended up in 8th.

In summary, it was first IFMAR off-road world championship for Team Hot Bodies. All team members did well. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported Team Hot Bodies.

Calandra Racing Concepts, Inc. has a long history of race winning tires. Our World Championship winning 1:12th scale Pro Cuts tires have revolutionized the R/C tire market, leading the way with large diameter technology that has now been imitated by all the large tire manufactures. While pushing the boundaries of performance, CRC has always been aware of the escalating costs of model car racing. Week in and week out, tires seem to make up the largest portion of any racing budget. Calandra Racing solves this issue releasing a high performance, low cost, touring car foam tire for the racing market.

CRC’s new TC “Race Cuts” are a 27 mm wide touring car tire on CRC’s 51 mm dished wheel. With this new tire, we decided to offer a performance based larger diameter wheel (51 mm instead of 49 or 50) with a 27 mm width that is sure to fit all the current touring cars. While the rules now allow us to go to a full 53 mm, a rim this large forces a very small side wall, making the tire a one or 2 run tire at best. The mid-size 51 mm rim, allows race winning performance with the ability to run the tire multiple times. The new TC Race Cuts come trued to 58 mm in diameter, allowing the racer to use them straight from the package or with a minimum of truing needed.

Race Cuts are available in 2 compounds, magenta and a split double purple/magenta. The split tire can be used on the front for ultra-high bite situations.
