Team Alternativ top BL team at French 8-hour enduro
We received a report that Team Alternativ/PRT/Sweep finished first of the 1/8th brushless cars at the recent 8 hour endurance race organised by RC94 in Sucy-en-Brie, France. Finishing 5th overall, the car used was a Losi Eight E with Team Tekin RX8 speedo, PRT motor, SMC batteries and Sweep Exagon tires. After fixing radio problems that cost them 65 laps during the first hour of racing, Team Alternative came back from 16th, and last position, to finish 5th, 68 laps down on the winning nitro car and managed to put in some of the fastest laps of the race. They only used two sets of Sweep Exagon tires throughout the entire race and the only mechanical problem was a rear bearing failure in the last hour.
