The 2016 IFMAR 1/10th 200mm Nitro Touring World Champion had his first outing with his new power plants this past weekend’s Energy Trophy in Fiorano, Italy where he was able to bring home the win.

I’m very happy and pleased that I will run engines from O.S. Speed from now on. I want to thank Mr. Shimazaki san for this great opportunity. We had the first rollout last weekend in Fiorano by the Energy trophy with my Serpent 750. I could win with a big gap and drove a new overall lap record on this track with my new O.S. engine. I’m looking forward to a great season with the focus again more in 1:8 because of the world championship in Fontana. See u on the track.
