A deep dive into the Phoenix
Lets go into the details of the engineering and design choices for the Phoenix car. Just like a food cooking show it's all prepared for a systematic tear down.
There are a lot of nice small details about this car. I have compared it with other cars like the Losi, MCD but mainly the Ultron as it has been my main car the last couple of years. There are definitely some similarities that I like but also some big differences also for the better. This car has really picked all the good things from many of the other platforms but then added some of their own unique solutions. Check out the video below for the whole run down and see some disassembly images in the side panel. |
First Impressions of the PhoenixAfter unboxing the car and looked at it for a while I started to go through and notice all the design choices. This video represents my first impressions of the car before starting to dissemble it. I will add more videos with much more detail as they are uncovered.
Also checkout the images from my first impressions as well as starting to work on the car. The plan is now to dissemble the car completely to then reassemble it again. |
Unboxing of the VRmodelsport Phoenix!After over a year of waiting for a new racing car to arrive and replace my trusted Ultron I know have a big box weighing 14kg.
Follow along as I open and uncover what's in the box and the beauty of the Phoenix car. You can here on my voice cracking up in the beginning of the video how special this moment is for me. |

New B7.1I finally got my new B7.1 on the track for the first time on Thursday. This thing is a rocket ship. As of now I’m 1.2 seconds faster that my fastest lap time with my old B6.4. I have gained 2 laps in my 5min run. I think it is safe to say, the B7.1 was a great investmen.

Really happy to finish the weekend on a high note—3rd place in 4WD with my Team Associated #B84 and a Top 5 finish with the #B71 This was the first big event after switching electronics for the new season, and I’m really proud of what we’ve already found in just a few months of work.

EOS - Euro Offroad Series RD1 in Daun done and dusted!EOS - Euro Offroad Series RD1 in Daun done and dusted!
Last day of the event was a day to remember. Doing a couple of changes on the 4wd which made it super fast and up for fight in the B-final! Truck was the highlight of the day. Taking the overall win on tiebreaker after having 1-2 as best scores. My win in A2 was 0.6 seconds faster than Jörn’s win in A3, so it was really close! Thanks for the good battle! A big thanks to Marcel Schneider for sharing his setup before the event, which made me be on pace from the get go. Without your help this wouldn’t have happened! After some tweaking on the setup, my #T7 aka “Silver Bullet” was awesome to drive! In the end both my #TeamAssociated cars, powered by #Hobbywing and #PowerHD, equipped with option parts from #FactoryTeam, #RDRP and #Spectacleengineering was comfortable to drive and fast on the track! Thanks to the whole Team Associated for the great teamwork and fun hangout during the event! Thanks to Lindqvist Racing for the travel-company during the week! Thanks to Michał Milan Milanowicz for the on track support from Hobbywing! Thanks to all the people supporting me on track and from back home! Next race - British Offorad Grand Prix at Milton Keynes in two weeks!💪🏼 Thanks to all my sponsors and to my dad for the support! Team Associated 📸@EOS - Euro Offroad Series |
