The final round of the 1/10 off-road finnish national series has now compleated in Äänekoski and I am the new Finnish Champion with my Xray XB2'26!🏆—————————————————————————-Practice went well on Friday and I managed to dial my Xray XB2'26 car into a really great setup🔥 From the start of practice on Saturday the car performed excellently! When the qualis began I managed to secure TQ in two of the four rounds. However I started the finals from the second place after Jamiel Gabrielsson RC because he also managed to take two TQ rounds and he take the overall TQ.A1In the first final I managet to drive a clean run while the others made some mistakes and I managed to lap the entire field. A2I knew the second final wouldn't be easy, but I managed to overtake Jamiel and he stayed right on my tail for almost the entire race but he couldn't find a place to overtake me and I managed to keep him behind me to secure victory! So i managet to get both the race win and the series title making me the new Finnish Champion!I also want to say congratulations to Kristian Ullakko rc he has been a really tough competitor all summer and we’ve had a grate batles! Congrats on finishing second in the series!

Final round of the M8e finnish national series at the new Kouvola's track has now been completed!————————————————————————————The new Kouvola track was excelent and I really liked the layout of the track. During Friday's practice sessions I had some issues with the car's setup but on Friday evening I decided to rebuild the car entirely and I went with a completely different setup taking a bit of a risk but I was confident it would pay off. In Saturday morning's practice I immediately noticed that my XB8e'26 car was performing incredibly well! When the qualifying heats began I secured tq ​​in all three qualy rounds!In the finals I managed to win all three finales with a good performance and clean driving!I finished third overall in the series not the result that i was looking for but next season goes hopefully better forPekko Iivonen RCtions to Pekko Iivonen RC on winning the FinKristian Ullakko rcnd to Kristian Ullakko rc on a strong second place finish!SpeciaXRAYanHUDYo EuroRCnsHobbywing TechnologyoRJL Airbrushingechnology JL Airbrushing MS HuoltopalveluHankistickersMom …
