Xcelorin Powers Truhe, Kortz, and Chambers to Sweep Hot Rod Hobbies Shootout

Matt Truhe and Matt Chambers competed in Expert 1/8 Electric Buggy at the Hot Rod Hobbies Shootout. The track was a very tight, small track for the bigger 1/8 cars with TONS of traction. Truhe chose to run the Team Losi Racing Taper Pin Tires with Red compound for rears and Silver compound for fronts. For the chassis setup on his 8IGHT-E 2.0, Truhe changed a few things for the unique track conditions. He lengthened both front and rear camber links and ran my shock oil 2.5wt thicker for the extreme temperatures since it was 105F+ every day. Even with the extreme temperatures Truhe's car ran awesome and he had no worries of overheating with the Xcelorin 1700kv motor and Xcelorin 1/8 ESC.
Truhe went on to TQ 3 out of the 4 rounds and convincingly won the first two finals taking the overall win! Piloting another Team Losi Racing and Xcelorin equipped vehicle, Matt Chambers rounded out the podium finishing 3rd just behind Jeremy Kortz and his Xcelorin powered buggy. Xcelorin had a clean sweep of the podium with Team Losi Racing vehicles in 1st and 3rd!
