When you’re chasing fractions of a second in 1/28th scale, every piece of equipment in your pit counts.

When 1,000HP D1GP Expertise Meets Precision RC Engineering

The transition from full-scale motorsport to precision RC isn’t just about shrinking parts; it’s about translating driver intuition and raw physics.

We are proud to highlight Maclan Factory Sponsored Driver, Ryo Ishii. Ryo isn’t just a dominant force in the RC drift scene; he is a professional driver competing in the world’s ultimate drifting stage: D1GP, behind the wheel of his Weld/BuzzBreak machine.

This is where the magic of product development happens. Ryo’s profound, real-world understanding of drift dynamics, traction control, and throttle resolution—honed at Tsukuba Circuit in a full-size monster—is invaluable.

But turning that intuition into software algorithms requires a visionary. At the heart of our engineering is Mr. Ito. It is Ito-san’s unparalleled technical vision and deep ‘card holder’ intuition that translates Ryo’s D1GP driver feedback into the next generation of Maclan products.

Together, Ryo’s trackside reality and Ito’s engineering brilliance are the driving force behind the development of the new Maclan MDP series.

When you run an MDP ESC, you aren’t just running a component; you are running the combined DNA of D1GP expertise and legendary engineering.

🔥 DOUBLE PODIUM FINISH & SEASON CHAMPIONSHIP 🔥

Huge shoutout to team drivers Funtimes Mcgee and Lucas Kotaka for dominating SDC Hawaii Round 4!

Funtimes Mcgee: TQ 1st Place & 2026 Season Champion!
Lucas Kotaka: 3rd Place Finish!

Winning Setup:

Funtimes Mcgee:
MDP 160 ESC + MDP 13.5 motor with #42 rotor
Lucas Kotaka:
MDP ESC + Flow Cap + MDP 10.5T motor

Delivering pure, linear power, buttery smooth control, and deadly precision when every millimeter matters on track.

Mad respect to Lucas Kotaka and Eric from Limited Traction for throwing down some of the sickest OMT battles of the entire year!

is fast at the track!!

🏁 Oval race day is here! 🏁

Gary Ellison 410 Sprint Car is looking clean with the custom blue and green color scheme.

Racing starts at 11:00 AM today, so load up your car or come out and enjoy some exciting RC oval action.See you at the track! 🏁

Shawn Stuart is here repping his Maclan Racing powered buggy and getting dialed in for another afternoon of off-road action!

Off-road racing kicks off today at 2:00 PM at Rocky Mountain RC Raceway let’s go racing! 🚗💨

Pro tuning secrets, unlocked.

Big thanks to Pro driver Junta for sharing his detailed profile for the Maclan MDP160 ESC! Community knowledge elevates the entire RC drift community, and Junta’s breakdown offers valuable insights into how he balances throttle linearity, boost ramp, and overall driveability on track.

Did you know your charge cable might be choking your 1/28th battery performance?

When cycling micro packs at higher currents, thin wires and poor connectors create excessive resistance.

Recent side-by-side feedback from team testing:

"The IR is immediately 10 milliohms lower... better/more accurate charging, more accurate voltage readings, and less voltage sag after charge is complete."

Our Maclan 2mm 2S Charge Cable uses true 16AWG wire and precision solid bullets to ensure your charger sees the actual battery voltage, not the cable's resistance. Better cycling, lower IR, and more power on track.

If you run Formula Edge Z or any 2S micro packs, this cable is a must-have in your pit bag!
