Mario had the following to say:
I want to thank Team Xray, Martin Hudy, Fabio Domanin and all the other people of the team for all these years together, but I could not say no to Pasquale Iuliucci (BMT) that gives me the opportunity to race with an Italian team. This is a new challenge for me. It is the first year for the BMT 701 in 1/10 nitro category and I want to give to the team all my experience to obtain great results!

Coming from BMT is the new 984 Evo 1/8th nitro on-road kit that includes all available option parts. Based on the recently introduced Evo chassis the kit also comes with an adjustable servo saver, hard left and right steering blocks, hard rear hubs, hard front and rear wheel axles, as well as the narrow front shock mount, the “closed” upper deck and it is rounded out by a lightweight aluminium clutch bell.
Italian company BMT have introduced new optional parts for their 701 1/10th scale 200mm nitro on-road kit. First up is a Nickel-plated aluminium clutch bell. Scrubbing a good amount of weight, with the original steel part weighing in at 10g and the alloy part being 6g lighter, using the part makes for reduced rotational mass which equals faster acceleration and thus improved on-track performance. Also new is the yellow colour high-grip clutch shoe. The part makes for a more crisp clutch engagement.
Italian company BMT have introduced their all-new 701 1/10th 200mm nitro on-road kit. The car is based on a 7075-T6 aluminium chassis whose design ensures equal torque flex characteristics left to right and it utilises lightweight transmission parts, including a small and ultra low weight 2-speed assembly, for reduced rotational masses and thus improved acceleration and braking. For reliability reasons both the front and rear differential come with high-quality steel gears, greatly improving durability especially on high-grip surfaces. The chassis is topped off by a 2mm carbon fibre top plate that uses fuel tank quick releases, a 1-piece servo support and a flex system with bushings. The included radio box can be used or even left away to further scrub weight.
New from BMT and made for the 984 1/8th on-road car are the Evo chassis and several front anti-roll bar wires. Starting with the chassis, the main plate is machined from high-quality aluminium and it makes use of a new front suspension geometry, improving steering in both low and high speed corners and it also utilises a new battery plate position for an optimised weight balance. As for the three front anti-roll bar wires, they are available in 2.0mm, 2.3mm and 2.5mm diameter and help to fine-tune the roll characteristics of the chassis.
