The first ever EP 1/8 Off-road Buggy Nationals Liverpool over the weekend of 5th-9th August 2010. KC Shore was confident of a strong showing but was ecstatic after TQ position for the A-Main final. As you can imagine he was even happier after the 3 A-Main Finals were over and KC was the winner of the first ever 1:8th EP Offroad Nationals. Here's what KC had to say:
"Heading into the week long event with a brand new never driven car. I didn't have much time to set the new XRAY XB808E up for the track conditions,surprisingly it didn't need many changes at all, out of the box the car felt balanced, stable and fast, seeing that the track had medium grip I went with the optional active diff with 41T on the front, to give me a little more turn in, and on power stability, as the week went on I managed to TQ the event, this left me happy yet nervous as the 3 ten minute finals were still to come. I ended up winning 2 of the 3 giving me victory and the 1st national Australian 1/8 EP championship!! Thank you Team XRAY!"
