Masami Hirosaka joins Team Nosram

Following some running earlier in the year with LRP, R/C Car legend and 14-time IFMAR World-Champion Masami Hirosaka has recently been signed to sister company Team Nosram. For a driver like Masami, only the best possible equipment will do and he has chosen to use Team Nosram brushless motors and speed controls. This combination will give him that important advantage over the competition in this important World Championship year. Masami has been active on the highest level of competition for over 20 years and has proven many times that he is one of the best drivers on the planet. He has won WC titles in both off- and on-road classes but the ISTC title still eludes him, something he hopes to finally win this year.
