Report by Marco Baruffolo

Last weekend there was the RcNitroShop’s Trophy at Veggoplast Rc track near Turin!

The staff did an amazing job after the heavy rain on Friday and allowed us to test on Saturday.

The track was slippery and there were some bumps all around the track!

On Saturday we have free practices and we tested a lot! We try different Hotrace tyres compound and some changes on my base setup. Bangkok V2 SuperSoft were the best tyres.

On the car we changed the standard wing and put the Lexan one for have more steering in the first part of the corner and we changed to the hole N.5 on the rear shock tower to have more steering and be better on the bumps.

This was also my first race this year with the XT8. In Italy is not a big class but it’s really fun and was a practices for the future races in USA.

On Sunday we had 3 quals for each classes and finals.

Have not changed anything on both cars and try to be fast and consistent all the time.

TQed all rounds and took the win in both classes.
