Simone Cantoia

International Team Driver - Italy

Team driver since 2018

I’m 38 years old, from Cavaglietto, Piemonte region in the north west of Italy.

I have a big passion about cars and motorsports, especially sportscars, rallying and offroading.
Other personal interests and hobbies include freeride mountain biking, hiking and enjoying the outdoors, soccer, geocaching, urban exploration.
I like to collect several things, from swiss army knives to Lego sets.
I am a great fan of Unimog trucks and have a collection of static scale Unimogs models.

I started with toy grade rc as a kid, with a Nikko monster truck I got for Christmas.
Growing up I used to play with Tamiya mini 4wd.
Later on I discovered about new hobby grade rc categories such as electric monster trucks and scale and got my Traxxas Summit and my first rtr scaler in 2012.
My favorite platform now is the TF2 for the realism and driving fun.
Scale comp was my favourite category but I’m now moving towards scale building, I always preferred scale appearence over pure performance.
I like everything from building techniques to scale driving, but the aspect I like the most is to host rc events and build scale courses.
Together with friends I hosted a regional sorrca championship for 5 years and my Oasi Challenge scale adventure events since 2016.
The best experience was to host several editions of the Italian Recon G6 together with my friend Brian Parker and travel to Austria, Germany, Belgium, Poland to attend local G6 events and meet amazing rc friends from all over the world

My favorite online shops are the official RC4WD website, crawler-keller.de, crazy-crawler.de, thescalerstore.com, game-mania.it
