Alessio will be using Bruno RC servos along other Bruno RC accessories during his campaign that will include appearances at all major national and international events. Alessio says:

I’m very happy to race with this prestigious brand where its products are developed by the best drivers in the world! When I’ve tried the Servo BR1 Bc1863x I have immediately appreciate the fast response and the accuracy that my T4 gained. Same thing when I use the titanium screw set for my G3 that gained extra smoothness. I am motivated and sure that this year is going to be satisfying.
