World Drome Japan 2007














World Drome 2007 Super Truck A Main Final

It didnt look like they had the insane speed run event yet. This was taken from their website

From RC-Japan (Translated from German):

The "World Drome speed Contest" is delivered each year by the Japanese RC magazine "RC World". It takes place in the mountains in the proximity of Shizuoka on a cycle track.

One begins in classes, which are ajar against the genuine models:
Stick Car (pro 10 chassis; 6 cells NiMH; 25T engine of the organizer)
Super Truck (like stick Car, but with other Karo)
Indy Car (Tamiya formula chassis; BL engine, ESC of the organizer; 6 cells NiMH; fixes translation)
NASCAR Light (route car chassis; 25T engine of the organizer)
Trans to (F103GT chassis; ESC, Akku and engine of the organizer; fixes translation; Mustang body of HPI)

The fastest class is stick Car. most popularly is however trans TO class. During the whole meeting only two different engines were driven. Brushed an engine with 25 turns and a Brushless engine.

The qualification runs are driven over two minutes. Here not, who crosses the target line as the first, but the fastest time decides. In the final, which goes over four minutes, then the best position in running wins.

Trans to class was aerodynamically very delicate with 3 cells Lipo and Fords' the mustang (from the 60ern) Karo. Speeds to 95 were reached km/h. As maximum speed became estimated in the planning phase for this class 75 km/h. So one can be mistaken.

The 109 km/h mark cracked the stick Cars.

There it around a round distance running concerns and dragee a Strip, is not only this already quite considerable speeds. The walls of the Velodroms are very steep. I estimate 60 degrees. Into these curves to drive and from them come out is not easy. Depending on, on which line one drives, the handling changes. With the speed one makes a Schlenkerer of to two meters also times fast; probably that, which is not too close at the delimitation.

Each driver had a front seat passenger, that behind him stood and with Crashs and turners of other drivers warned and the line empfohl, in order to avoid a collision.
Calculated to the stick Car final caught it then that rains on. The final was delivered nevertheless. Respect for the drivers, who pointed unusual vehicle control to part.

Translated from Japanese to English using Google:

2003 May 10th, with the Olympic official recognition bank inside the Izu cycle sport center, oval race/lace of RC world magazine sponsorship, WORLD DROME 2003 was held on the 11th. “It is the electromotive car,”--As for basic regulation you say that it is only that, the record, where just insane (sanity is not) challenges to the limit of the electromotive R/C car with " Insane Speed Run " the Higuchi player of HPI, whether 遙 exceeds the speed record 136km/h of last year at speed, predecessor unexplored 147/km/h inside was raised.

[insensupidoran], the race/lace day, the wind to be strong was not the excessively good condition very. Starting to use [bureshiresumota], it is 5th year, but every year it was bothered in radio wave trouble and the record to which agreement goes had not put out. This year, it took a second look the helicopter loading site of the receiver thoroughly, could arrive at last in the latest record.

As for the course of USA, for the Japanese course 250m with 1 lap, to carry to the highest speed shortly vis-a-vis being lap 333m, because it is very difficult usually, as for 1st week acceleration lap 2nd lap the measurement lap, 3rd as for lap is the feeling such as cool down, but this time, it seems that can do 3rd lap full opening travelling beforehand accelerating, it was the result.

As a future topic, it seems that 1st it can open fully can travel to lap if it keeps accelerating, whether further record renewal possibility it is thought. Goal is to exceed “over the ton” 100 miles 160Km/h at average speed. Next year is the intention of trying aiming for the 155Km exceeding first with the improvement and cell number of acceleration method as 26 cells.

97.4 mph World Drome 2006 (12-28-2006)

"Toshiyuki Hane gets second place in the Verodrome style speed run trial (Japan), going at 97.4 mp/h (156.8 km/h) average speed. Motor: Lehner 1940/5 HI-AMP"

All the descriptions are translated from japanese to english with google:




This chassis completion state.
Well enough being settled clearly, it is GOOD. Cell number being maximum, 24 is recorded at 4/5SUBC size.
Unless well it rides and the [ma] just inhales and, it carries out and does in lever frame whether it is useless it is doubt, but…. Actually it is the intention of trying from around 16 cells.

The training SO and the battery does not end, it is yo which is!!

Already already, the battery 16 cell it trains and impairs and yo which is the red sandal wood in failure!!

In addition, also will simulation at all designate one gear as several? Being troubled, the [ru] it is yo which is!!

[a] [a] [a] [a] ~ sleeping [te] [e] ~~~. (Breaking

(The [a] [a] ~ and the [u] it is and wait the [e] ~~ is)

yo and yo, is. yo and yo, is,……….

Now then” when with it becomes, it is accustomed to the fool to here, (blast”

So as [yu] [u] declaration of intention please think (burst of laughter.

This is the motor. It has liked with color of my taste, (laughing. In LMT HI-AMP specification, the 呆 [re] it could point to [rena], it is 3.17mm shaft specification, (the ^^; . NG it probably will put out this shaft diameter without fail with this power, is.

The gear has used 32 pitches from last year production. After all with total destruction, it could not accelerate the spur of the certain corporation of pre- with 48 pitches honestly and the [te], was troubled it is disposal. The spur of xenon very much is good to the association being strong, is, there was no kind of thing where one time the tooth is defeated to brush less power. But, even 1/8 racing 48 pitch uses are not said are… with the [tsu] lever 32 pitches were adopted.

This mechanics.
From this year now the [tsu] [po] [ku], the texture [te] you looked at BEC with the lipo +NOVAK regulator.
The amplifier with [rena] designated ones, rather [sugo] so is the thing. Because the place where this ESC is good has designated high power as use prerequisite, the fact that it can program the help function which makes various drives simple with PC is GOOD. But, with that doing, the sensor less brush less it starts coming out and abruptness it is abnormal. Depending, unless last year we would like to see, the thinking which is shy we must do, it is meaning. When excessive function is freely used, the program selfishly, pre- with perceiving to dropping power, the intention of making minimum requirement, completely was start impossible, (laughing. But, as for speed however preponderantly pre- from, the kind of air which has come out does, don't you think?. Well trying fumbling here, it is the schedule which searches the best.

After, it was cause of course out of last year, the hinge pin of the upper arm from simply inserting type, was modified in e-clip system. Although such a [mon] coming out it was not, the vibration [sugoi] it is the combining which probably will be.

After you do not happen to see easily, the European connector of big size.
In Europe being called the 200A connector, being something which it sells, the touch area is more than usual European, is. You adhere to the connector with something? When the former times car burns up, there is no nipper, [te] broken wire not to be possible, after the [te], everyone's umbrella it is the car [shiba] he growing hoarse, is, (laughing. With favor, the car to become true [tsu] two, the cord/code to be torn off, because there is the experience which thinks cruelly is, (laughing. Also everyone by all means in the pocket patience please by all means, or attaches the connector, or does the nipper (laughing.


It was simple, but you introduced, (mOm).

It perseveres with spirit of the birthday man,… the year? Long ago, it is [ojii], (殴.

It is starting in rear several hours, but you cannot sleep easily, (the ^^; .
Tidying up, it is to think, but consequence or the baggage of the air is many, is, (blast. The [doromu] production large doing, it seems that does not change (nuclear blast.

Well the photograph before breaking into pieces, is the game car of this year when you store to the photograph.

In schedule 4 these tries +α verification travelling is planned. As expected, it is accustomed to the man or, rusty#2・・・.

Because plural UP it has not done the photograph, dividing once here, it introduces inside the body.

This is a PDF of the data aquisition during his run

"Toshiyuki Hane gets second place in the Verodrome style speed run trial (Japan), going at 97.4 mp/h (156.8 km/h) average speed. Motor: Lehner 1940/5 HI-AMP"

I came across this article when i was working on my own speed run trial car. The website that I have a link to is all in Japanese. I think its supposed to be "Velodrome". But anyway, this is pretty cool. There are more links (translated to english) here and how he built his car here

Also on Lehner's website they have a new record for an r/c boat going 140.4 mph. Video here:
