Nacho Lopez Picco-powered

French Picco distributor Racing Experience announce the signing of Nacho Lopez to their team. The Spaniard will use the Italian engines during his 1/8th and 1/10th scale campaign and he had the following to say:

I’m so happy to reach this agreement with Racing Experience and Picco. After a not so good 2014 season I felt there was time for a change and after Racing Experience became Picco distributor for Spain, this opportunity came a long that I could not pass on. After testing in two races new .12 Picco EMX WC platform, I’m delighted with the performance of this new engine. I think the best that I’ve ever have! I am really looking forward to my first 1/8 nitro race next weekend with the first Spanish Nats to test new Picco .21 EMX engines! I’m sure that with this partnership we will achieve really good results together over the coming years.
