T3'12 Graphite Chassis 2.0mm and Graphite Upper Deck 1.6mm now available @ Quantum!

2012-02-02T21:33:00.000+08:00

The new 2mm chassis was developed to provide the best possible traction for low-traction conditions. The thinner chassis allows the car to flex more which generates more overall traction.

Important note:
When changing the chassis, the roll centers will be 0.5mm lower compared to the standard chassis. Therefore, to keep the same roll center height you need to use 0.5mm shims under all lower suspension blocks.

To generate even more traction, the new 2mm chassis can be combined with the new 1.6mm top deck which was developed to increase traction and in-corner steering. With the thinner top deck, the car will flex more which generates overall more traction. The top deck is a direct replacement for standard 2mm top deck.

ORCA and NASA tops MTCC 2011 (December 11, 2011)

2011-12-17T20:07:00.000+08:00

As year 2011 closing to an end, another big race was held in the South East Asian city of Manila, Philippines. At one of the world class race track in Asia, JP Raceway hosted the annual MTCC (Manila Touring Car Championships) from December 9-11, 2011. Pristine and a well-maintained track saw around 50 drivers competing in Super Stock 13.5T and Novice Class. MTCC is definitely one of the must-go event in the coming years. With the help of ORCA Asia and ORCA Philippines, we are proud that newly-introduced ORCA TQ'ed and finished top 5 in the Super Stock 13.5T, and with 6 ORCA drivers in the A-Main. NASA Mighty Gripper V2 continued to be the top choice for tire addictive. We greatly appreciate the support from the drivers and hope that the product will get them into more A-Mains!

Practise session started on Friday, with many drivers struggled with low traction. The track was washed and cleaned in the early week just before the event. Traction started to come up in the late afternoon and lap times were more decent and NASA Mighty Gripper V2 tire addictive to be the top choice for most drivers. In the Super Stock Touring 13.5T, long-time competitor and friends between JP Reyes and former Tamiya factory driver Yuichiro Takaya led the pace in the qualifying rounds. J.P.Reyes tops the group with the only 22 lapper after round 1. Traction was still building up leading to qualifying round 3, Yuichiro Takaya and P.Y.Tang improved, when they posted top 2 time respectively. The top of group stayed pretty much the same after round 4. With the last qualifying round on Sunday morning, traction stayed high and JP Reyes came back to top the group with an amazing run while Josh Castro propelled to 4th.

EXOTEK EX06 and more available now @ Quantum!

2011-12-16T13:55:00.000+08:00

EXOTEK EX06 - TA06 CHASSIS CONVERSION

Introducing the Exotek EX06

The pro conversion chassis that turns your TA-06 into a power house that can rival the performance of any other high end car model on the market. We have taken the center battery layout of the TA-06 and tuned it for maximum performance.

Refinements include;
- Extra long narrow top plate design. Works the same way as high end touring cars- allows controlled flex laterally to improve overall side bite and corner speeds.
- The top plate is mated to an alloy front section that connects directly to the front bulkhead without any chassis posts to generate traction and to help eliminate tweak inherent in chassis post designs.
- Alloy front top plate section SECURELY mounts the front pulley set for proper belt function. No skipping front belt due to chassis flexing.
- New steering assembly design is not attached to the top plate just like in high end tourers to help generate front traction and to elimintae top plate tweak.
- Fully adjustable battery positioning for perfect battery fit and centering for balancing the car.
- Easy yet ultra secure battery removal- simply remove 1 screw from the steel grommet in the ESC anchor plate!
- Open rear battery section allows room for routing motor wires through here instead of over the belt for less chance of belt rubbing.
- Chassis holes are cut the same on both left and right sides for optional servo and esc swap to the opposite sides (needs a modded steering crank).
- US made high grade carbon fiber. 2.25mm thick plates for the World Champs proven sweet spot of chassis flex/ stiffness.
- Complete chassis conversion is over 30 grams lighter then the stock chassis set.
- Includes necessary hex hardware and English instructions.

OPTIONAL IFS ANGLED MOUNTS SOLD SEPARATELY
OPTIONAL REAR TOWER
OPTIONAL FRONT TOWER
OPTIONAL TITANIUM PULLEY SHAFT
OPTIONAL BUMPER BRACE

EXOTEK T3'12/ T3'11 CF STEERING BRACE

EXOTEK T3'12/'11 FLEX TOP PLATE

NEW Extra flex top plate for the Xray T3, T3'11 and T3'12.

Made in the US of high grade 2mm bi-dierectional carbon fiber.

Adrian Berntsen and ORCA wins first round of the Norwegian NIS (December 7, 2011)

2011-12-16T13:11:00.003+08:00

The first round of the Norwegian (NIS) national indoor series took place in Fagernes, a city 200km north for Oslo. We saw a 600m2 track, with pretty low grip and a very technical and challenging layout. We started the practice on Saturday with a test race before the real race started on Sunday. I was looking forward for testing my new ORCA products in a race finally.

On Saturday we tried different settings on the speedo to try to find the best, as I only had been testing on a pretty low-speed track earlier. By having a good facebook-dialog with Andreas throughout the whole weekend, we found the perfect adjustments for me on the track, which had good on-throttle feeling and very much power both on the straight and in the inner parts of the track.

As the traction was very low, we tried different setups for the car aswell, but whatever we did it seemed that it was the traction that was so low that the only thing working was to change my driving style which in the end worked very well.

The test race on Saturday ended in me winning (as well as I TQ’d) in front of Petter Berntsen and Kjell Gunnar Guttormsen, so everything was looking good before the race on Sunday.

As the race started on Sunday, I felt pretty confident with myself, the car and the electronics. The setup, speedo and motor were all set.

In the qualification I faced some problems in 2 of the 3 qualification rounds, which made me finish only the last round. I took the TQ with approximately 8 seconds in front of Petter Berntsen. Kjell Gunnar Guttormsen finished 3rd.

In the first two finals I got off from the rest of the field, and managed to improve the lead from start to end, and in the end I won both finals almost one lap in front of Petter Berntsen in 2nd. That meant I won the first race with my new Orca products and my first win with the Yokomo. Petter took 2nd while Roger claimed 3rd spot in the last final. Looking forward to 2012 season starting of with the DHI Cup.

XRAY-ORCA clinches top 3 in Super Stock 11.5T at the Indonesia Year End Race 2011 (November 13, 2011)

2011-11-16T17:12:00.013+08:00

Annual 2011 Indonesia year end race was held on the weekend of November 12-13, 2011 at the Sunter International Speedway (SIS) in central Jakarta, Indonesia. It was informed to us that it had been raining for the past two weeks in Jakarta, but it is always magical to get clear and sunny skies during the annual event. Weather was exceptional awesome from friday throughout the weekend.

With over 90 entries registered from all over indonesia would see 3 classes to be competed in stock touring 11.5t boosted, front wheel drive 13.5t handout, and mini 2wd. Most popular class of stock touring 11.5t boosted took it to F-Main, while competition for the indonesia national champion was still ongoing. Track layout was newly designed by track manager suwardi suliandy with superb layout and surface, as well as an air conditioned pit and viewing room. However for the layout it is cater more to a nitro layout hence the very demanding and challenging high speed track for electric touring as well for the slower class of ff and mini. Track surface was very fine with low tire wear rate at medium traction, but dusty environment made the traction very low. Super stock touring 11.5t boosted was limited to 3 sets of open tires with 5-minute qualifying heats and grueling 3 8-minutes finals for all mains. With these rules and track conditions, tire treatment, ESC/motor boost settings as well as car settings was very challenging to remain competitive.

In the stock touring 11.5t boosted, Bowie ginting was dominating the first day of qualifying in his OrcaQ powered Xray T3 taking top spot in all 4 heats with 5 second to spare over 2nd spot Heri also in his OrcaQ powered Xray T3. While just 5/10th sec separation was Singapore's P.Y.Tang in 3rd spot with his full Orca powered Xray T3. 4th went to Suwardi Suliandy's Orca powered Xray T3 and 5th to Dimas's Tamiya completing top 5 ending the sunny first day qualifying with excellent result from xray and orca. All Drivers would still have a chance to up their position in the last qualifying heats on Sunday morning.

In the last qualifying on sunday, it would be difficult for drivers to improve due to the morning dust but it might still be possible with a new set of tires. Out of surprise, the biggest jump was by Ronald snapping the 2nd qualifying spot dropping Heri, P.Y.Tang and Suwardi a spot down. Bowie remained TQ.

Top 10 Qualifying Standings (Super Stock Touring Boosted 11.5T)
1. Bowie Ginting - Xray/OrcaQ - 19 laps - 5:09.211
2. Ronald - Tamiya - 19 laps - 5:14.330
3. Heri - Xray/OrcaQ - 19 laps - 5:14.733
4. P.Y.Tang - Xray/Orca/OrcaQ/Acorn - 19 laps - 5:15.123
5. Suwardi Suliandy - Xray/Orca/OrcaQ - 19 laps - 5:15.469
6. Dhika - Xray/Orca/OrcaQ - 18 laps - 5:00.524

9. Ronnie - Tamiya/OrcaQ - 18 laps - 5:05.067
10. Andy - Xray/OrcaQ - 18 laps - 5:05.797

With very close laptimes among the top 10s, the competition among drivers remained tension. Final A Run 1 started off with Bowie starting off clean, while P.Y.Tang powered off into 2nd from the start tone showing a strong acceleration in his Orca-powered Xray T3'2012. Bowie led the pack until the 5-minute mark retired due to tire failure. Allowing P.Y.Tang to take the lead, Heri came up strong in the 6-minute mark reeling in the leader. In the final closing minute, Heri capitalized P.Y.Tang mistake spinning out at the infield hairpin. With that, Heri took the win followed by P.Y.Tang in 2nd. Suwardi Suliandy was disqualified despite finishing a strong 3rd, due to missing controlled tire stickers.

Bowie had a good start again in Final A Run 2. P.Y.Tang took 3rd position at turn 1 and then took the lead at the infield with Bowie dropping to 3rd and Suwardi came up to 2nd. Bowie title contention came to an end when he failed to finish again sufferred from universal joint failure. P.Y.Tang who was running an older set tires unable to hold the pressure from Suwardi who ultimately overtook the lead and took the win. P.Y.Tang finished 3rd while great driving and pressure from Dhika in the final lap found himself in 2nd.

Going into Final A Run 3, P.Y.Tang had the best combined result if 2-3, but a win in the final run by either Heri or Suwardi would take them the championship. Bowie started off clean at the tone, and P.Y.Tang again propelled into 2nd at turn 1. Bowie in the lead was pressured by P.Y.Tang for about 4-minute mark, while Heri and Suwardi was fighting for 3rd. Contact between Suwardi and Heri, dropped Suwardi to 5th, while Heri pursuing for the leaders. P.Y.Tang maintained Bowie in sight hoping for the best, but Heri again was reeling in the 2nd leader. Heri closed in on P.Y.Tang on the last minute mark. P.Y.Tang defended his lines, but Heri made a great pass at the in-field S-section, but found himself back in 3rd at the last corner before the long straight. Bowie took the win 3 seconds over P.Y.Tang in 2nd and Heri just 0.2 second apart. With tied points, Heri was crowned champion for the 2011 Indonesia Year End Race winning by less than 1 second over P.Y.Tang in 2nd overall, and superb performance by Suwardi Suliandy taking 3rd overall, giving Xray-Orca the 1-2-3 podium!

Exotek F1R Conversion for Tamiya F103/F104 available soon @ Quantum!

2011-11-05T21:43:00.006+08:00

Exotek F1R Conversion
Product No: EXO-1161

The next evolution in the Exotek F1 line of chassis for the F104 and F103.

In development since winter 2011 to bring you the best Tamiya chassis option for the rapidly emerging F1 class.

Race proven features include;
- Link type rear pod for exceptional rear grip. The rear suspension pod includes ball links and reinforced easy set side links.
- Optimized battery and electronics location. The battery, esc and receiver are mounted as far back as possible to maximize the rear weight bias for improved rear traction and stability under acceleration and braking.
- New bottom plate only design helps generate more steering response. This coupled with the increased rear traction creates an overall better handling car.
- New alloy shock mount. This weighted design not only looks great but it serves a vital function as well. The weight of this part creates more rear weight bias for more on power grip and creates body roll so that it also creates more cornering/ lateral grip. On top of this it provides secure battery mounting and much easier battery removal by simply loosening the 2 mounting screws. The battery can then be lifted straight up and out without interference from the ESC or receiver.
- New design will accept standard 7.4v lipos or the new breed of lightweight 'shorty' 7.4v lipos!
- Includes black anodised rear pod pass-thru dampener and new mounting set.
- Includes Associated side pod springs and mounts. These are used to tune for steering response and pod level (tweak).
- US made premium 3.0mm quasi weave carbon fiber is used throughout.
- Rear chassis channel lets you cleanly route the ESC receiver plug directly under the battery to the receiver.
- Includes carbon servo brace for the F104.
- Compatible with any Tamiya F104 or F103 kit. ANY F104 OR F103 IS REQUIRED. OPTIONAL EXOTEK SERVO MOUNTS SHOWN NOT INCLUDED.

Also coming soon- F1R up-conversion for current EXO104/103 owners!

P.Y.Tang from Team Singapore takes Acorn Racing and Nasa to podium of 4WD GT Tamiya Asia Cup Finals 2011 (October 2, 2011)

2011-10-08T20:01:00.009+08:00

P.Y.Tang from Team Singapore reported to us taking 3rd in the 4WD GT Class at the Tamiya Asia Cup Finals 2011. Using the Acorn Racing Tyre Rejuvenator and Nasa Mighty Gripper V2 combination for tyre treatment in his Tamiya TA06Pro throughout the event, it gave P.Y.Tang necessary traction to run in the extreme outdoor environment carpet track. P.Y.Tang started in 3rd position after 6 rounds of qualifying. Although a good start and contending for the win in Final A1, P.Y.Tang hit the side walls on the long straight and fell to 3rd. Final A2 was not so lucky as P.Y.Tang had an electrical failure. A better run in Final A3 finishing 2nd, although leading for the first minute but dropped down to 7th after a contact from behind. P.Y.Tang final words after the event said that "finishing on podium was great and wishing Nicholas Lee good luck at the Tamiya World Championships".

Recent ORCA BL Open held at the Planet Speedway, Malaysia. In the Open(Turbo) class it was not too much of a surprise, but it was the "0" timing class which saw CP Wong took a 1 lap lead in the qualifying to TQ the "0" timing class. Also we saw Mike Lim qualifying 3rd from behind which is a valiant effort and another testiment for ORCA's product ranging from the VRITRA ESCs, Infinite Batteries and the RX-2 Motor's performance. We hope to see more participants entering the ORCA BL to gain more experience in the racing scene.
