During the 4WD Buggy finals A main Race, it was a close battle between two drivers Xiao Ping and Lau. However, in the middle of the race, Lau made a quick mistake on the triple and lose 1/4 of the lap, he had to catch all the way up in the remaining laps.

With the fantastic performance of the final testing, here comes the final draw of the TRANSFORMULA.

Currently most of the F-1 RC models in the market are obtaining the T-bar system and it is general believe that T-bar is the most suitable system for F-1 model with its simple operation.  However Mr. Hideo Kitazawa, the organizer of Japan F1RCGP and an active F1 racer believes the linkage system if more effective in high speed impacts and control better in bumpy conditions.  Racers should adopt a different system base on the track condition and this is why TRANSFORMULA is born – with a single kit you can convert to either T-bar/linkage system which best fit with the track.
