1999 1/10 IFMAR Worlds in Rauma FinlandThis race was also a classic with Jukka really coming into form and winning 4wd after his second place at the 1997 worlds and Masami still being the man to beat getting the crown back to Associated in 2wd.
Fun fact is that it was at this race the TC3 touring car was in mine (and many others) hands for the first time. That is a parallel historic milestone. |
1993 1/10 IFMAR Worlds in Basildon, EnglandAs we are getting getting close to what I regard as the pinnacle of RC - the 1/10 off road IFMAR worlds, I thought it would be appropriate to repost some galleries from some of the IFMAR worlds I have attended through time. First off the 1993 worlds in Basildon, England. Masami / Kinwald RC gods.

Here to answer the call is the latest development from Team Associated\u0027s Area 51 Design Works, the RC8B3.2 Team Kit! \r\nThe RC8B3.2 is set to push the boundaries of the accolades accumulated by the RC8B3.1:\r\n* 2018 I.F.M.A.R. World Championship, Perth, Australia -- Davide Ongaro \r\n* 2019 ROAR National Championship, Hutto, Texas -- Spencer Rivkin \r\n* 2019 RCGP Series Championship -- Davide Ongaro \r\n* 2019 Italian Nitro Championship -- Davide Ongaro \r\n\r\nThe engineers of Area 51 Design Works focused on key components that improved durability, accelerated maintenance, and expanded upon its race-winning heritage within the RC8B3 platform. An all-new suspension arm design features bottom-loaded inserts to adjust flex characteristics. The rear suspension arm length has been increased while reducing the arm mount width to improve performance in all conditions. A 4-piece center bulkhead allows for easier access to the center differential, making adjustments even faster.\r\n\r\nThe all-new radio tray design features an enclosed battery box, a larger receiver box, integrated switch and transponder mounting, and adjustable flex configurations. Updated shock caps allow the RCB3.2 to be run with the included new stiff bladders, standard bladders, or as emulsion with no bladders -- all with the same cap. The RC8B3 platform was born with Team Associated \u0022Champion by Design\u0022 heritage and the RC8B3.2 plans to continue dominating the 1:8 scale off road racing scene!\r\n\r\nThis vehicle needs extra parts to make it operational.

To be a top performer, one must innovate and push the envelope. The designers of Team Associated Area 51 Design Works have done just that. The result is the RC8B3.2e electric 1:8 scale buggy.\r\n\r\nAlready a proven platform, the RC8B3.2e looks to add to the portfolio of victories. No stone has gone unturned when considering the makeup of the RC8B3.2e. The geometry of the suspension has been critically analyzed to determine improved areas of performance, resulting in a new suspension arm design with inserts to adjust flex characteristics and keep dirt out. The combination of a longer rear suspension arm, narrower suspension arm mounts and an overall wider rear track width has proven to increase driver comfort, consistency and speed. \r\n\r\nUpdated shock caps allow the RCB3.2e to be run in two different configurations: As emulsion type with the bleeder screw and seal, or bladder type with the included new stiff bladders, or optional traditional bladders. The side guards have also been improved by changing the attachment method to FHCS that thread into the chassis from the top of the buggy. This increases the durability of the side guard while improving alignment to the chassis. \r\n\r\nThis vehicle needs extra parts to make it operational.
