About the 2nd time of Manila Mighty gripper cup 2012

Hello dear manila RC players,

I'd like you to share some information about next Mighty gripper cup in Manila.
The race day for touring cars might be on Nov.17, For F1 cars might be on Nov.11.

For Touring cars, We are going to have "silver can touring car class", "13.5T brushless super stock touring car class", and if possible "modified touring car class". It's on Saturday.

For RC-F1 cars, We are going to make Two classes of  F1 race. It's on Sunday.

Nothing New rules For Touring car class yet.  But F1 class will have New class this time.

My Purpose is "more fun and trophies for persons not competitive yet players".
And "More world level competition for Expert players".
I wish you will like this.

Manila Mighty gripper cup report with race videos and pictures

We had 13.5T brushless touring car class race, and tamiya Jonson motor open chassis F1 class race at Jp raceway on Sept.29. TQ for TC class was Mr. Mikey, He showed us his very fast and stable driving with his new car yokomo BD7. 2nd Jerome, 3rd Ralph.  For F1 class, TQ was secured by formar TITC stock touring car class champion Joseph, 2nd Leo, 3rd Tutoy.

A interview for T.C. class T.Q. driver Mikey 

Congratulations Mikey, Can you tell me what was your secret of your fastness? 

Mikey: Thank you, Well its because of my New very fast car BD7 and all combination together Orca ESC and Orca battery. Oh it was just Box set up of BD7 I forgot to tell you. There was no secret at all. I started to use this car just yesterday.

Really? so sound like your will be more faster If you have more set up with your new BD7, aren't you?

Mikey: Maybe yes. But I already very happy with this box setting. My box set up of BD7 is fast and It has so much forgiven for my on power driving style. I think If I replace ordinary plastic parts to hop-up carbon parts will be more better. 

by the way, you already had many trophies for 2nd and 3rd, aren't you? Would you take champion this time? Im sorry If Im giving you kind of pressure, haha.

Well yes! I have many of 2nd and 3rd trophies as you know. I'd want to take a number one trophy in my hand this time, but of course I don't know that I can do, or not. haha.  Please you wish my luck.

A interview for F1 class T.Q.  driver Joseph

Congratulations Joseph, You made a comfortable T.Q. with your fast driving and your nice chassis. What kit did you use and how was it?

Joseph: Thank you taka. We(Joseph and his mechanic father ken) used Tamiya F104WGP chassis. This car was very good. I like handling of this chassis very much today.

Also my jonson motor and battery was gave me good torque and power both. I was so happy with my car. thanks for my dad. He made my car very fast.

Your fastest Lap was 0.3s faster then 2nd qualifier Leo. You must be confident for winning for yourself, don't you? 

I hope so taka. but, Leo is fast driver I can't have any comfortable yet.  I just do my best race.

last question, I'd felt your car much more stable then your last F1 racing event. what did you changed of part of your car? 

Actually taka, I only changed my driving style to more careful driving. My priority is not a fastest lap now. My new target of driving style is, no mistake. 

We used a new qualifying style for F1 class in this Mighty gripper cup. It was the "super lap qualifying".  About during 1990s Real F1 was using this super lap qualifying style as you remember. An Advantage of this super lap qualifying is,  every one has own clear laps, I guess. We gave only 3 laps for each racers this time.  And this different style of qualifying is going to give an other style of an adrenaline rush for all F1 class racers. Even some of experienced racers had a hand shaking on it according they said. Hope this well be famous in our F1 racing some day. Specially for my dear Manila RC F1 organizer Joel and his players.  

Here is the super laps qualifying videos of some racers. 

(I was supposed to take all players video. but unfortunately my camera memory already full)

S.L.Q. video of  Ted

S.L.Q. video of  Chito (off road racing manila top driver)

S.L.Q. video of  Leo   ( a usual podium getter of Manila RC F1 race)

S.L.Q. video of  Joseph ( Former TITC stock TC champ, and he is one of them fastest guy in asia) 

Can you imagine that?  You have to make your best Lap in-front of every one's attention!
This was making all racers so excited!

But everyone think he did great with his brand-new car without testing. We wait to see him to get a champion trophy in his hand to the next race. 3rd winner was Ralph From tamya lil's hobby. He showed us way his fast drive how did he get 1st asia champion in the kyosho-cup. Its so aggressive drive but with-out car sliding. Now I know Ralph and JP driving style are come from same great origin. But he is so kind and Every one in manila knew this thing, He don't bump any other car in front of him.  This thing gave feeling safe and comfortable to any person who is running ahead of Ralph.  Thats why even he was giving so much pressure to Jerome, It was not able to reach to Jerome's heart. And even Jerome has strong Heart racer in manila too.

Because of it, Very fast Manila RC F1 driver Leo had a two enemies on the 3rd heat, sorry. Tutoy got 1st on the 3rd heat and he've get 2nd over all in his hand. 

In B-main, 2012 tamiya asia cup F1 class over all 2nd winner driver Jomile got Here B-main with his  humiliated. I cant imagine how it was Hurt for him because He was 2011 tamiya asia cup FF03 class champion too. But during race He have get back his fast driving just like other A-main drivers. He took heat 1 and 2 easily and course he got B-main champion. 2nd winner was surprised. It was oldskul arnold, He just come back from long time away of his RC hobby. Last winner in B-main was goes to by Capt. Rains's hand. I guess He must be an idol of  all FGX guys in manila. He is the only person who made FGX had a trophy in manila by his good driving.

V3 became available in Japan ahead

Hello Dear our product users,

I'd like to tell you that, We able to get started to sell our new mighty gripper V3 in Japan already.
But, We still have no quota to Asia market yet. Please wait some more time. like I said it will be available soon around end of Aug I think.

How is Japanese market response? It seems very good. And many people say it better than V2 our V3 is. My V3 test since last year actually was very good too. V3 works well with the Sorex tire and the Ride tire according my test resole said. Please have your looking forward on it.

But still factory drivers are using V2 and they said "there are no substitutes for The V2".
Then they already are keeping a lot of V2 in hand of them. haha..

I can say this, " please buy and keep the mighty gripper in your hand". I guess you can use it when you are joining big racing event. Because many factory drivers continue to use our V2 with own make up of them as base ingredient of traction compound.

Thanks!

I'm sorry to tell you this but I cant do anything about it. I keep let you know If the MGV3 price confirm by Shinonaga-kasei co. Ltd. A reason of them why the price going up is, materials cost of them getting higher too. We will see.

But I still have some more stock of V2 for asia market yet. which is last V2 in the world now. Please try to contact me before i sold it out!

The first time Nasafenrir cup in manila

Hello dear users and customers,

Our first time NasaFenrir cup in manila launched at Junckyard by Actionhobby on last Sunday. Me and Mr. Shinonaga who is Nasa( shinonaga-kasei) chairman were there to support to dear NasaFenrir users. but, it was started to have strong raining when we got arrived to the Junkyard..
It was looking like Me and Mr. Shinonaga brought rain there.. Im sorry for that. Actually we were very shy for all racers in there.

I'd put up the Race results here my blog when I've got official results from Actionhobbys in days.



And an other one topic of last week was about the Mighty Gripper V3 test in JP raceway then it was very successful. The chairman of Shinonaga-kasei Mr. Shinonaga invited top 2 Philippino of 1/10 electric TC racer in philippines on that day. That must be Mr. JP and Mr. Ralph as philippino racer know. Actually, Me and Mr. Shinonaga want one more top driver Mr. Gerry there but he was out of town unlucky for us.

The new compound worked very well even better than V2 on that test.

Please wait our New MG3 to be available soon on July!
And please don't forget to keep your stock of MG2 also. MG2 is our of production and it works very well for big race yet. It better you to have both compounds for your big race events. The MG2 has big worth on the market as you know.  


We are going to launch New Mighty Gripper V3s as our products this coming July hopefully.
Thanks everybody.
Regards,

Yuichiro Takaya

 You'd knew it why our face look so happy?
