NT1 Podium Finish at Futaba OS Jakarta Open 2010 Race report by Erwin Luhur The Futaba OS Jakarta Open 2010 is a yearly event held at the Jakarta International Twin Circuit. It was a 2-day event but many drivers from Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei and Australia arrived at the track 2 days beforehand for practice. The schedule for this race was 5 rounds of qualifying on Saturday, while Sunday had 1 more round of qualifying and the all the finals. Saturday (Qualifying Rounds 1, 2, 3 & 4)The first qualifying round started at around 10:00AM after the opening ceremony. The weather was good and 3 rounds of qualifying were run successfully. However, in the late afternoon the weather suddenly changed and it started to rain during heat 3 of round 4. The rain stopped after about 15 minutes and track was completely wet. As it was late in the afternoon and there was no sun, there was no chance for the track to dry properly. Therefore the Race Director decided to cancel the results of all heats of round 4 and continue with the last round of qualifying on Sunday. At the end of the day, there were six XRAY cars in the Top 10. Sadikin Sutrisno secured the TQ spot, Erwin Luhur was 2nd, Bowie Ginting was 4th, Suhaimi Abdul Wahab was 7th, M.Shah was 8th and Usman Halim was 10th.

Xray T3 takes win at Total Hobby RC Race 1/10 EP Open Modified Race Report by P.Y.Tang
The Total Hobby RC Race 1/10 EP Open Modified was held at the UTM Skudai in Southern Malaysia on July 3-4, 2010. The local asphalt UTM track is a very challenging track which is a high-speed flowy track with medium to high traction. Bumpy sections and high-wear to rubber tires are the major concern among the drivers. The race is a two-day event, but most drivers were unable to practice due to bad weather on Saturday. It was still drizzling on the early Sunday morning and the track was still wet but the weather cleared up around 11am. The track was still damp during the first qualifying round and many drivers went on to choose softer compound tires to look for more traction. The track began to dry up at noon when the sun finally came out. After three intense qualifying rounds, seems like only Ken Ng had the better setup that saw him clocking under 14 seconds lap securing pole position, with P.Y.Tang 2nd and Allister 3rd from the pole. Despite being 2nd from the pole, P.Y.Tang Xray T3 debut was delighted with his qualifying rounds on Sunday where he felt his new Xray T3 stock setup was very easy to drive and very responsive to his liking. Although the car works well, P.Y. could not get some consistent timing in every run due to the high-wear rate of the tires and possibly wrong choice of tire addictive.
lap to Allister. Ken Ng had a terrible final along with some diff problems ended up in 4th in Leg 3, but a well-deserved 3rd overall position. Desmond Tan running a Xray T3 had a good run finishing at 6th overall starting 10th from grid.

Race Report by Samuel Tan To commemorate the end of 2009 and all the great times we had, a “Happy Happy” Race was done at the Singapore RaceCraft Race Complex. It was a 2 days event with 3 qualifying rounds done on the 28th November and 1 qualifying and finals done on the 29th. 40 eager racers had registered for the race. 16 racers were entered for the Open Modified 1/10 Touring Class, of which 10 were running XRAY T2'008, 2’009 and of course, the T3. The rest of the drivers were participating in the Stock 1/10 Touring Class, of which 7 were running the XRAY kits.
Qualifying To make it a special race, the first 3 qualifying were done in the night, when traction was high and setups were different. The circuit was changed at 4.30pm, ½ hr before the start of the qualifying by the organizers from a high speed to a technical track which featured hairpins and sweepers hence it was down to adaptability and the right set-up was essential to clocking a good lap time. At the end of qualifying in Open Modified Touring, there were 1 XRAY T2’008, 2 XRAY T2'009s and 2 T3s in the A Mains. Traction was especially high that night due to the rain in the late afternoon and high humidity. Setups were changed tremendously, front downstops were changed from 5.8mm to 5.6mm and 50mm ECS were used on the front for a narrower track width. Lap times were great and Top Qualifier Samuel Tan had a 7s difference with the 2nd qualifier in the Open Modified Class. The qualifying order was as follows: TQ: Samuel Tan XRAY T3 2: James Tang 3: Khamil XRAY T3 4: Darryl Chen XRAY T2’009 5: Hasron XRAY T2’008 6: Rohazmi XRAY T2'009 7: Chee Lip Keong 8: Kevin Wong 9: Daniel Chee 10: Shawn Chow
XRAY T3 of Top Qualifier Samuel Tan In the Stock Class, XRAY T3 took the Pole and XRAY T2’009 took 2nd Qualifying position.
XRAY T3 of Top Qualifier Khamil and followed by XRAY T2’009 of 2nd Qualifier Samuel Tan Finals The finals were ran immediately after lunch on the 29th, and with the blazing sun bearing down, many were making adjustments to their car set-ups to cope with the changed traction conditions. XRAY Driver Samuel Tan had his down stops reverted back to 5.8mm on the front and shock oil was changed to 700wt 2 hole piston with 3mm rebound.
What are you starring at, Jeremy Chin? In the first run for the Open Modified Touring A Main, Local “Best Rookie” Samuel Tan pulled from Chee Lip Keong with a lap difference and Team XRAY driver, Rohazmi, finished in 3rd. In the 2nd run, Samuel Tan defended his Pole Position from strong competitor, James Tang and finished with a 5s difference. Team XRAY driver Rohazmi took 3rd and too secured his podium finish. In the final run of the A Main, Samuel pulled away from the start and maintained a lap lead throughout to take the win in the run and the overall title. James Tang and Rohazmi were able to keep their distance from the fierce battle by the middle runners to finish 2nd and 3rd respectively.
Rohazmi 3rd, Samuel Tan 1st (TQ) and James Tang 2nd of the Open Modified Class.

Sep. 17, 2008
Round 7 of the Just Hobby Nitro Challenge
took place on September 7 at the Just Hobby Race Circuit. The morning began well
with sunshine to dry off the damp track caused by the rain during the night. Due
to the rain in the night, the traction was bad in the morning.
Qualifying
The first round of qualifying started at about 10:00AM with most drivers
struggling to get a good run due to the low traction. By the second round of
qualifying, traction was back to normal and Tom Goh was driving his NT1 with
amazing speed, setting the single lap track record of 13.571sec for this track
putting him in a TQ position. However, by the third and final round of
qualifying, Tom lost his TQ position by about half a second. At the end of the
qualifying, there were six XRAY cars in the Top 10 and the qualifying order are

Final
In the 1-hour A main final, all drivers got a good start except for Erwin Luhur
who got clipped from behind causing his car to flip over. By the time his car
was turned over again, he was in last place with the leading car only 2 corners
behind him. Tom and Jesse were driving hard in 2nd and 3rd places trying to
overtake Nelson. Soon after, Nelson suffered a traction roll thus allowing Tom
to pass for the lead. At the first fuel stop, Tom had a slightly longer fuel
stop which dropped him back a few positions. Meanwhile, Erwin was driving a
clean and consistent race and by about the second fuel stop he had managed to
pass for the lead. Jesse, Don, and Leslie suffered some technical problems half
way through the race and could not continue. Erwin continued to drive without
any problems and his lead was never challenged. After the 1-hour race, Erwin
crossed the finish line and won round 7 with a 1 lap advantage over the 2nd
place finisher. Tom managed to catch up to 2nd place in the final minute but ran
out of fuel just before the finishing line, thus he finished in 3rd place. James
drove hard and managed to finish 5th from his starting 9th position.

Just Hobby Nitro 1/10 Sedan Challenge 13 April 2008
The Just Hobby 1/10 Sedan nitro challenge in Singapore (Just Hobby Race Circuit)
was held last Sunday. There were a total of 40 drivers including a 1/10 Truck
Fun Race.The morning began well with sunshine that dried the dew off the track.
However, it threatened to rain with storm clouds overhead, but soon subsided.
The track is smooth and fairly tight with several tricky corners and a
high-speed chicane. The first round of qualification began and had local ace
driver Nelson Lee setting a fast pace to put his Novarossi powered Mugen into
provisional pole. Several drivers came close to his time of 21 Laps 5:02. This
time was hence beaten by old-timer Ben Seet in his Sirio powered Kyosho with a
time of 21 Laps 5:01 and to take the eventual pole position. Tom Goh in an OS
powered Xray came in to sit 3rd on the grid, also with a very fast time.5 Xrays
made it to the top 10, including Sam Cheng and buggy driver Glenn Phuah who just
managed to squeeze into position 10. Teamxray Singapore’s Jesse Wu turned up
late for qualification and only had the opportunity to run 1 round of
qualification. This proved deadly as an accident during his run left him with a
broken exhaust and sitting out the A Main. Jesse however managed to clinch the B
main champion.
The 45-minute A main Final began
around 4pm and the spectators were all eager to watch the start. During the
start Ben Seet, Nelson Lee and Tom Goh began gaining a slight advantage over the
rest of the pack. Glenn met with an accident during the start and was almost
half a lap behind the pack. Both Tom and Nelson began experiencing technical
problems and slowed down ever so slightly, this allowed Sam and Glenn to close
up the gap. By the halfway mark, Ben was already pulling a comfortable lead and
the Fight for 2nd place was between Sam and Glenn. It got exciting as pit crew
worked hard to gain any little advantage from quick pit stops. Spectators were
also getting excited as they watched this battle. A small mistake by Sam allowed
Glenn to overtake into 2nd place, during the last call for fuel; Glenn lost a
couple of seconds caused by a slight miscommunication between him and his
mechanic. This proved to be a bad mistake as Sam gained in and managed to pull
out of his pit stop before Glenn.
Final Results:
A Main
1. Ben Seet/ Kyosho / Sirio / Sanwa
2. Sam Cheng / Xray / RB / KO
3. Glenn Phuah / Xray / RB / KO
