29.08.2024 -The last race of our national championship is history...

On the demanding @mblr_rc.racing track last weekend we couldn't find a top setup to make our RC8B4.1 fast enough. But the team gave everything and fought bravely, so that we did not lose the championship this year, but can celebrate the vice title with Florent Auderset and 3rd place of Tristan Reignier in the overall ranking. 💪💪Congratulations to Jeremy Pittet on winning the 2024 championship.
In the race itself, Florent and Tristan finished fourth and fifth, while Martin Goumaz delivered another top 10 result in eighth place...
In the amateur class, we even had five (🔥) RC8B4.1s in the final. Paolo Carro made the most of his home advantage and won his first race with his new car. 👌
Thomas Beti finished a strong fifth ahead of the young Sam Bucher Hecq (first nitro race), followed by Cedric Pellet. Bruno Filipe Oliveira Pinto rounded off the strong team result in eleventh place. Paolo Pereira won 3rd place in the senior category.
Now the silly season will start also in Switzerland...😎🤔 - So stay tuned...
Big thanks to all people that trust and help us in the background... otherwise we can't grow and deliver such results... - We'll be back 💪 next season... 🔥🔥🔥

22.08,2024 - Oops they did it again... Double podium for Team Associated Switzerland in Courgenay...💪

On the greatly new-shaped track of Mini Bolides Club Jura Tristan Reignier and Florent Auderset proofed the outstanding performance of the #RC8B4.1 also on an old-shool style track & surface with an undisputed double victory on Rd. 4 of the Swiss Nats.
Their Ruddog-powered AE rides worked strong and reliable thanks to #RunnerTime TOP16EU fuel and "shoed" on #matrixracingtires. In total we saw four RC8B4.1 in the Expert main final. Martin Goumaz delivered a strong P9 followed by privateer Daniel Favre on P10.

We look forward already now for the "nailbiter" final round #5 in Lausanne, where Florent (1080 pts) and Tristan (1010 pts) will challenge our friend and RC-routinier Jeremy Pittet (1080 pts) for the Championship title...🤗

Further classifications: Cedric Pellet - P3 Amateur, Paolo Pereira - TQ and P5 Amateur, Bruno Filipe Oliveira Pinto - P11 Amateur, Beat Knutti - P2 Senior & P15 Expert, Julie Jelmi - P1 Open class

30.07.2024 - Great Euro A 1/8 Nitro Buggy in Sacile
Back from the Euro A in Sacile we are pleased to look on a strong premiere of our two young drivers Florent Auderset and Tristan Reignier 💪
Florent qualified for the 1/32 final and managed one bump-up to finish finally on P60. Tristan struggled a bit in qualifying for a spot in the 1/64 final but thx to a double bump-up he ended on P72 as 3rd fastest swiss right behind our friend Patrick Hofer.
Our two young guns were able to race on a great track provided by the hard working staff of the Ongaroring-Crew in Sacile. Part of their success was the precise implementation of the reccommendations of Davide Ongaro, Richard Saxton and Mauro Ongaro, so that their Team Associated Ruddog Distribution #RC8B4.1 got better and faster every day. Big thanks also to Verardo Riccardo and @alessandrostocco_ for assisting in the right tire choice from Matrix Racing Tires. Last but not least we must outline the consistently reliable performance of the Runner Time fuel that provided excellent power to their engines all week long... 👌

 

24.06.2024 - Historic double podium for Scuderia Scampi Rosso in V8OR
Last weekend, the 3rd race of the Swiss Championship 2024 took place on the top-notch "old-school" track in Gland/VD. Tristan Reignier won his first race of the season in 👌 style. This great day was rounded off with 3rd place for Florent Auderset. Both their RC8B4.1s relied on the Runner Time brand for their fuel and ran on Matrix Tires...💪💪
The last double podium for Team Associated Switzerland was, believe it or not, almost 7 years ago. Back then, Ronny Lüber (3rd on the archive photo left) won his last race with an RC8B3 on August 27, 2017, ahead of Patrick Hofer (as P1 on the archive photo from 2017). Unfortunately, both are no longer driving for AE (Ronny retired and Patrick changed brands) 😪
Martin Goumaz was the third driver with RC8B4.1 who finished a great 10th in Gland.
In the amateur class, Paolo Pereira finished a strong 8th. Thomas Beti was unlucky, as he did not make the final due to engine problems and therefore "only" returned home as the junior winner. Beat Knutti rounded off this race weekend with 3rd place in the 40+ category.
We dedicate this historic day to all partners, especially Ruddog/Team Associated, ONG Products, RunnerTime and the Ongaro Family for their trust and support...

Our Florent Auderset qualified his "Rental" #RC8B4.1e on P47, being the fastest driver for Switzerland at the BLS EC 2024 in Montpellier...💪 - His fully #OngProducts loaded B4.1e powered by #Ruddog gave Florent the right power to control the #matrixtyres of his drive during all four qualifiers.... All the best in the D-Main... 💪🔥

 

02.06.2024 - P2 of Flo Auderset and good Team result in Cornaux...

Sunday's rain spoiled a bit our race... but with P2 of Florent Auderset and three more offical pilots of the Ruddog / Scuderia Scampi Rosso / Team Associated Switzerland we can look back to a solid result after all. The Staff of the Neuchâtel Mini Buggy Club - NMBC did all to try making racing possible for sunday. But the muddy ground beside the track would have made marschalling not as save as it has been on saturday. So Rd2 was classified after the qualifying results. A total of five #RC8B4.1 were found in the Top12:
P2: Florent Auderset, P8: Tristan Reignier, P10: Killian Dunand, P11: Martin Goumaz, P12: Daniel Favre (privateer)
In the Amateur class we are delighted to see Cedric Pellet as the winner...🥇 plus three more AE-Drivers in the Top12...💪👌:
P5: Thomas Beti, P6: Marco Rytz (racing a RCB3.1 (!!!), P8: Paolo Pereira,

 

19.05.2024 - Excellent start of the Scuderia Scampirosso into the 1/8 nitro buggy season 2024 with P3 from Florent Auderset... 💪
At the first eound of the Swiss Nats in Villadossola, the guys from Team Associated Switzerland delivered strong results. A total of four drivers classified themselves in the expert final with their #RC8B4.1, led by Florent Auderset, who finished a strong third. He was followed by Tristan Reignier in fifth place and Daniel Favre and Kilian Dunand in seventh and ninth.
Congratulations to Joachim Kallen on his victory. We are delighted that RunnerTime TOP16 EU was used in three of the top 5 classified vehicles.
Cedric Pellet finished a strong fifth in the amateur class in his first nitro race. Bruno Filipe Oliveira Pinto won the junior final. Beat Knutti and Polo Pereira took second and third place in the 40+ final.
Almost every AE-Car was equipped with ONG option parts to increase the overall handling. And last but not least we need to mention that Florent and Tristan were the only drivers making the Top5 on Matrix Racing Tires and could keep the pace against the pack using the mostly chosen tire from another manufacturer.

 

07.04.2024 - Florent Auderset & Manuel Dietrich on the Podium...
The second round of the Swiss Nats E10OR saw two podiums for Manuel Dietrich (2WD pro stock) and Florent Auderset (2WD modified)...💪💪
Florent drove the #RC10B7 for the first time on this technical track and finished as strong second on the podium in modified. This was possible thanks to the excellent Teamwork shared by Manuel Dietrich who finished also as great second in pro stock with his Ruddog powered B7.
Great Job guys an all the best for 4WD on sunday...💪 🔥

 

11.03.2024 - Aaron Rönick - "back-to-back" Bütschwil Champion 2024...💪🔥🏆
We look back to a well organized race done by BC Hornets in Bütschwil. German Top Team Associated Deutschland driver Aaron Rönick defended his "title" of 2023-winner again and in style. His Ruddog Distribution -powered #RC8B4.1 had an unbeatable race pace over the 45 minutes final. Aaron had his car equipped with the RWB Chassis, which seemed to be one key-factor on the special track conditions. We're also happy, that we spotted a huge fleet of Team Associated cars during the event. Unfortunately not all drivers made it to the this team-picture... never mind, maybe next year, since #WeAreAE all... 😎
Besides of Aaron also Sven Koller and Christopher Förg (GER) made it to the main... finishing 4th and 9th... 💪 In the BLS category Johannes Schropp (GER), Manuel Dietrich and Ralph Weisskopf (AUT) took 3rd, 9th and 12th in the A-main...💪

Romain Lepappe (2WD) and Florent Auderset (4WD) drove to P9 and P10 with their B7 and B74.2.
