Ansmann X4 Pro in Greek Nationals!

[NitroArgi]

Hello people,

Yesterday was the race that would determine the Greek National champion in both 2wd and 4wd.

Although I normally race with Team Associated the importer (same for AE and Ansmann) asked me to compete with the Ansmann X4

From early testing I was really impressed with the car...I even had a chat with Stu Wood and his feedback transformed the car setup wise...

Qualification did not go as planned finishing only 2 out of 5 qualifications (battery problem and one broken big bore shaft) so I was the last car starting in the A final.

First final was ok with me finishing 6 and having some sensor issues. The big bores as well as some othe upgrades really transformed the handling as well as durability and everyone would talk about the X4 despite the problems I had with the electronics

Second final and the car was even better with me able to push after solving the sensor bits. I was even running 4th but I did a stupid mistake that cost me dearly loosing a couple of spots

Third final was very important but I could feel already the diffs fading. I did another great start turn 7th in the first corner feeling really confident with the car but I received a penalty for touching the car in front!

I finished 8th overall but I and everyone else on the racetrack could see the potential of the X4...

I would like to thank rchobbyathens.com for giving me the chance to compete with the Ansmann and of course Stu Wood for his feedback!

Regards
Argi
