P.Y.Tang and Orca debuts podium finish at FEMCA ISTC 2010 1/10th Electric Touring Car Championship in Brunei (May 16, 2010)

This year's FEMCA ISTC 2010 1/10th Electric Touring Car Championship was held in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei Darussalam at the landmark of Indoor Stadium Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex. The event was held from May 13-16, 2010.


P.Y.Tang of Quantum Racing Hobby debuts his Orca products at the event with his Tamiya TRF416X. He used the new ORCA Vritra TC Pro-Spec ESC and ORCA Infinite 5500Mah 50C 7.4V LiPo to power his Tamiya in both the Stock and Modified Class. It was a best 3 out of 6 rounds of qualifying that took place on Saturday and Sunday. In the Stock Class, P.Y. qualified in 4th which saw him to be conservative in motor gearing and ESC settings due to lack of time for testing as the motor was handed out late on Friday. But during the A-Main Finals, P.Y. increased the profiles in the ESC and chosen a more aggressive gearing that he managed to go faster and secured a podium spot in 3rd overall. He regretted not using the same aggressive settings during the qualifying rounds as the ESC and Motor was still running very cool during the finals.
In the Modified Class, P.Y. managed only to qualify A-Main 6th from the grid using a 6.5T motor. In the Modified A-Main Finals, P.Y. chose to run back the 11.5T motor which saw his laptime improved and was in the contention for a podium spot, but it was too late which he suffered from some bad luck of being hit in the A-Main finals and dropped to 7th overall.


In both stock and modified classes, Orca new Vritra TC Pro-Spec ESC and Infinite 5500Mah 50C 7.4V LiPo proves its power and success in the new software. K.S.Chu of Malaysia who was also using the Orca Vritra TC Pro-Spec ESC and Infinite 5500Mah 50C 7.4V LiPo finished top overall in the Modified Class using a 11.5T motor.

Quantum Racing Hobby and H-Energy signed Ken Ng from Malaysia to run the newest range of H-Energy LiPo 5500Mah 50C. Ken is one of the top driver in Malaysia, hometown in Johor. He will be testing the newest H-Energy 7.4V 5500Mah 50C LiPo to prepare for his upcoming races in 1/10 EP On-Road Touring Car races.

P.Y.Tang, H-Energy and ZTW TQ'ed at Batu Pahat Whatever Solution RC Challenge 2010 (May 2, 2010)


During the Labour Day weekend, Whatever Solution hosted their first RC race in Batu Pahat, Johor, Malaysia. It was a challenging track indeed as the surface is very rough causing high wear rates on the tires, and the most unforgiving track to the chassis due to bumpy long straights. Ride height had to be raised to 6mm to 8mm in some of the drivers. An increased in ride height would hurt the balance of the car but it would be a compromise to finish top in the race. In the Qualifying Round 3 P.Y.Tang secured his TQ spot by topping the rest with the only "would be 22 lappers" with 21 laps 4:55 as he did not pass the finish line due to some miscommunication with the race director at the end of the heat. The next contender qualified at 21 laps 5:01. In the Finals, P.Y.Tang managed only to finished 3rd overall as partly due to worn out tires which he used only one set of Sorex 40R for the entire race. P.Y.Tang's Tamiya TRF416X was powered by the reliable ZTW 120A ESC and H-Energy 5000Mah 35C.
