Firstly, I would like to thank Frankie, Andreas and everyone at ORCA for their help and support whilst representing the brand throughout the past two years. I have been really impressed with the GForce accessories I’ve used during 2014, and so made the decision to use their full range of products in 2015 and beyond. I’m looking forward to working with the whole GForce family and running the new TS160 Competition Speed Controller and Super Sonic line of brushless motors. Thank you to Chang for giving me this opportunity and I can’t wait for the coming races, especially since winning on my first outing with the full GForce range last weekend!
