Featuring ceramic bearing, the car is completed with a Hiro Seiko aluminium set screws, this being the debut race with the asian company for Bruno. In terms of electronics, an intensive testing session carried out with Hobbywing brought the Portuguese to opt for a smaller, 12.1mm rotor in his motor with this working perfectly on carpet together with the latest firmware version for the XR10 speedo.
