The Racecraft Infinity On-Road Challenge Series 4 was held on January 9th in Singapore. This is the final series and the points from this race is a compulsory for the series accumulated points. Orca completed the final podium spot by P.Y.Tang in his Orca powered Xray T3'11. Despite disruption by on and off rain, the race was able to complete after a long day. In the Modified Class, qualifying was a tight fight between the top 4 all clocking at 21 laps. Nicholas Lee took the TQ spot followed by Alvin Koh. E.C.Wee shaved 7 seconds from his previous race to qualify 3rd ahead of P.Y.Tang in 4th. Alvin Koh took the win in Final A1, while P.Y.Tang took the win in Final A2. It was down to the Final A3 that the champion was crowned as the race was wide open for Nicholas Lee, Alvin Koh and P.Y.Tang. A cleaner start in Final A3 saw all drivers stuck at the original position where it started off, except P.Y.Tang able to pass E.C.Wee for the 3rd spot, and Nicholas Lee won the Final A3. E.C.Wee had some mishap during the Final A2 dropping him down the table and out of contention for the podium, but finished in a respectable 4th.

Litemodz Design TQ and 1st at Racecraft Infinity On-Road Challenge Series 2010-11 Series 3 (December 26, 2010)

Leonard Sim recently TQ and finished 1st for Super Stock Class at the Racecraft Infinity On-Road Challenge Series 2010-11 Series 3 in Singapore. Leonard Sim used the new Litemodz Design CVS (Constant Verlocity Shaft) in his TOP Photon. According to Leonard, the CVS eliminates front tires chattering reducing front tire wear and increases cornering speed. He added that before, the front tires wear rate was higher than the rear, but after changing to CVS, the rear tires wear rate is faster now comapared to the front tires. The new CVS raises the standard of transmission bringing our scale cars into the 21st Century by utilizing the technology as used on pretty much all modern day full size cars. We will be seeing more great results from Litemodz in the upcoming races in 2011.

Congratulations to Leonard Sim and Litemodz Design in claiming the victory!

Xray-Orca claimed 2nd and 3rd at Racecraft Infinity On-Road Challenge Series 2010-11 Series 3

From left: E.C.Wee, Nicholas Lee, P.Y.Tang

Series 3 of the Racecraft Infinity On-Road Challenge 2010-11 was held on December 26, 2010 at Racecraft Race Complex in Singapore. The race was postponed which was supposed to be two weeks earlier due to rain. The qualifying started off with Nicholas Lee setting off the fastest pace and remained fastest from round 1. P.Y.Tang unable to get used to the Orca Vritra and RX2 powerplant as the 5.5T turbo was just too powerful for the small size track. Tuning down the powerband and some changes to the spring setups, P.Y.Tang was able to cut laptimes down on round 3 but unfortunately he caught behind a backmarker in the mid straights causing valuable time loss. E.C.Wee took Q2 which he ran a consistent run in round 3.

Top 10 A-Main Qualifying Standings (Modified Class):
1. Nicholas Lee - Tamiya - 21 laps 5:02.474
2. E.C.Wee - Xray, Orca - 21 laps 5:10.169
3. P.Y.Tang - Xray, Orca - 21 laps 5:12.445
4. Hasron - Yokomo - 20 laps 5:03.705
5. Kevin Wong - CEFX - 20 laps 5:04.990
6. Chee Lip Keong - Tamiya, H-Energy - 20 laps 5:07.629
7. Desmond Tan - Xray - 20 laps 5:10.701
8. James Ki - Xray - 20 laps 5:10.701
9. H.J.Quek - Xray - 20 laps 5:14.071
10. Paul Lok - Tamiya - 19 laps 5:02.140

Nicholas Lee took an easy win for Final A1 and A2, while P.Y.Tang now managing a faster pace was busy trying to pass E.C.Wee for 2nd position in all three finals. As E.C.Wee was very consistent on his laptimes, it was pretty tough for a pass by P.Y.Tang. After some close battling and swapping position, P.Y.Tang managed to finish ahead of E.C.Wee.

Top 3 A-Main Final Standings (Modified Class):
1. Nicholas Lee - Tamiya - 2pts
2. P.Y.Tang - Xray, Orca - 3pts
3. E.C.Wee - Xray, Orca - 5pts

Azri Amri of Orca is the Malaysia National Champion 2010, giving Orca another championship in Malaysia. Michael Lo took the 2nd runner-up in the championship for Orca as well, while Eric Ma from Penang secured 1st runner up.

Congratulations to Azri Amri and Michael Lo for taking the win and podium for Orca!

Litemodz Design now available @ Quantum!

Quantum Racing Hobby is proud to introduce you another RC Quality and Performance product from Litemodz Design.

Litemodz Design advanced design racing products offers the popular CVS constant velocity, CVA Drivesharfts, Spools, Shock Piston, Titanium Screws and many more. Litemodz Design is available for Corally, Hotbodies, Losi, Schumacher, Serpent, T.O.P., Tamiya, Team Associated, Xray and Yokomo.



The new CVS raises the standard of transmission bringing our scale cars into the 21st Century by utilizing the technology as used on pretty much all modern day Full size cars.

The advantage of running constant veolcity driveshafts has been well known for nearly the last 100 years and it is a major factor in maintaining wheel compliance with the ground.

The new shaft provides constant velocity equalising input and output shaft speeds reduces wheel vibration to a minimum providing a much smoother transmission increasing steering and overall grip levels on the car by reducing unwanted tyre scrub.

Using the CVS in both the front and rear of the car provides a more stable and precise car that is easier to drive with the added benefit of improving transmission wind up and tyre wear.

The potential benefit of running constant velocity drive shafts can be seen when looking at the standard UJ.

Theoretically a motor spinning at 40000 rpm with a gear ratio of 7 to 1 will produce a wheel speed of 5714 rpm. At zero angle this will remain at 5714rpm. However introduce angle into the joint and it begins to fluctuate. It is common to run with the drive shafts with some angle given the ride height to diff height toe angle and camber. At 30 degrees (front) the speed fluctuation will be approximately 29% giving an actual speed fluctuation of: 1657 rpm which occurs twice per revolution in both directions.

5714 45 rotation accelerating
7371 90 rotation decelerating
5714 135 rotation accelerating
4057 180 rotation decelerating
5714 225 rotation accelerating
7371 270 rotation decelerating
5714 315 rotation decelerating
4057 0 rotation accelerating
5714 45 rotation


This can produce excessive tyre wear and load the transmission wearing drive shafts, cups, pulleys and belts.
At the same time the rear of the car will also produce some results. Assuming 3 degrees toe in and a shaft operating angle of some 10 degrees there will be an approximate speed fluctuation of 3 %.
That is +/- 171 rpm again in both directions.
Since the suspension on the car is relatively soft every time that car leans in a corner the speed fluctuation is increased maybe up to as much as 12% assuming the angle is now operating at close to 20 degrees.
This is as much as 685 rpm.

Orca RX2 6.5T Professional Brushless Motor Test @ Racecraft Infinity

P.Y.Tang have recently tested another Orca range motor, this time the Orca RX-2 6.5T Professional Brushless Motor. The Orca RX2 6.5T was equipped in the Xray T3 for the Racecraft Infinity track in Singapore. A comparison was also tested to the Orca RX2 5.5T, both motors with turbo boost on. The Orca RX2 5.5T was definitely faster on the long straight but the Orca RX2 6.5T was a little easier to drive in the in-field with more consistent and tighter driving lines. The powerband on the 6.5T was much nicer to drive at a small size track. Both fastest laptime were recorded at the 14.2sec on a hot sunny day. The top end speed of the Orca RX2 6.5T was also slightly faster than any 4.5T motor on the long straight. The Orca electronics were running very cool where the Orca Vritra ESC was recording at about 50degC, Orca RX2 5.5T at 65degC, while the Orca RX2 6.5T barely reaching 55degC. A motor fan was mounted during the race. The Orca engineers did a great job in the development of these Orca combinations providing a more efficient and lower operating temperature electronics.

Final Drive Ratio: 7.6-7.9
