Vaclav Broz wins at rain-shortened NEOS Rd4

The fourth round of the Nitro & Electric Offroad Series was held at the Zidlochovice track in the Czech Republic.

Over the years, I have continued to choose to race the Xray platform for its on-track performance and unrivalled quality. In recent years, I have had the opportunity to interact with and receive advice from Xray’s factory team drivers including Alexander Hagberg, Jan Ratheisky, Bruno Coelho and Martin Hudy.
