Race report by Jarda Kopecky
In the middle of the week I received my new T4 and started to build it and prepare for the weekend races. I couldn’t wait to race with the new chassis. A week ago I borrowed the new T4 from Martin Hudy in Trencin and I was amazed by its great performance.

On Saturday we arriving to Rtyne. First race and I’m thrilled. Right from the box and with basic setup the car is fast, stable through the chicanes, no sign of any trouble at all. I only add 1mm shims under rear shock absorbers.

The problem I have are batteries. I have two sets of LRP LiPos and each performs differently.

In the first qualification run I’m still getting familiar with the chassis. Start from the fifth place a moving up through the field is a bit challenging. But with the car’s great performance and my concentration I’m getting rewarded and starting the 3rd and 4th qualification runs from the first place.

The first final leg I start from the first place but due to weak battery I soon start to speed and finish 2nd. I win the next final run, so the winner is still not decided. I saved the best batteries for the last run and right after the start I feel it was a good decision resulting in an easy win.
