Jared Tebo inks deal with Tekno RC

Following a lot of rumours on social media Tekno have finally announced the signing of Jared Tebo to their factory team. Not only is Jared regarded as one of the best drivers in the world, but as a former world champion he brings a wealth of experience to the team. Jared will be racing as well as assisting in the setup and development of Tekno’s entire lineup of 1/8th and 1/10th vehicles. The former long-time Kyosho driver had the following to say:

I am beyond excited to be joining the Tekno family for 2019 and 2020! I’ve noticed the growth in customers and the great track presence that they’ve had, and that’s something I wanted to be a part of. Daniel and Matt attend a lot of races, and you can see the passion they have for RC cars and the industry. Tekno has taken a different approach with their brand, and they strive to create innovative products with great performance. I can’t wait to race the cars and share my input of 18 years professional racing experience. I think the combined results together are going to be great, and the experience will be exciting. I will be racing the full 1/8 NP, 1/8 EP, and 1/10 EP line of vehicles! I want to say THANK YOU to Daniel, Matt, and all the Tekno staff for this opportunity. I feel very welcomed already, and I’m excited to work with and meet all my new teammates! Bring on 2019, see you all soon …
