Tim Wood joins Savox team

CML in the UK have signed the current 1/8th scale British Champion Tim Wood to run Savox Servos in 2009. Tim will use the Savox SC-1258 servos to power his Serpent 966 car and joins David Crompton, Elliot Boots, Ellis Stafford & Jon Hazelwood all running the servos with great success. After Tim’s first test at Halifax, he had the following to say:

Having tested the servos I am extremely happy with the performance. I found them to have excellent holding power and feel so much smoother than any I have ran before. Add to this the light weight, and I think many drivers will be switching to Savox.
