Associated RC8B4.1 Ongaro Edition Nitro Kit, 80953

The new Team Associated RC8B4.1 Ograro Edition Nitro Kit is the next evolution of the 2022 IFMAR World Champion-winning RC8B4. Davide Ongaro has won the 33rd IFMAR World Championship for Team Associated and the fourth of his incredible career. With this win, Davide has accomplished something no one else in the world has done. In 2022 he became the first driver to win back-to-back IFMAR World Championships in 1:8 IC Off-Road and now he has completed a threepeat!

Throughout the event Ongaro was near the top of each practice heat, qualifying round and semifinal. However, he was rarely considered the favorite. With the confidence of a champion, Ongaro continued to tune on his Team Associated RC8B4.1, engine, tires and line selection. Gathering input from his mechanics, team and supporters, Davide was able to peak at the right time and matched the fastest pace set heading into the 60-minute final.

After just a few laps, Ongaro worked his RC8B4.1 into the lead and never looked back. By the end of the final, Ongaro had lapped all but the other podium finishers and rolled across the line to be a 4-time IFMAR World Champion! Team Associated would like to congratulate the whole Ongaro team including his mechanics Mauro Ongaro and Nuno Casal Ribeiro.
