Jared Tebo continues to announce deal extensions with sponsors heading into the 2011 season with today’s announcement that he has committed to a further 2 years with KO Propo.
I have just re-signed my 2 year contract with KO Propo. This is another company that welcomed me in my major move for 2009. Their products were amazing right from the start. I don’t think people really know how great and superior their products are. They are always working very hard to better themselves and set a higher standard in their category. We have built a very good relationship, and I look forward to working with them the next two years and beyond. I would like to thank KO Propo Japan, KO Propo, and Robert Morris for the great partnership we have. I will be running KO Servos, Receivers, and Radios in all my cars. Thank you for your support.
