Adrien Bertin wins 2008 Kyosho Masters

Adrien Bertin wins 2008 Kyosho Masters

Our site sponsors Team Orion were delighted to inform us that Adrien Bertin has brought them yet another victory, this time at the 2008 Kyosho Masters, held in France last weekend. From 5th on the grid, Adrien went to 4th at the start and methodically moved through the field, taking advantage of his Team Orion CRF .21 powered Kyosho 777, which was also equipped with the new AKA tires for this event. After 15 minutes it was shaping up to be a three horse race between Daniel Reckward, Julien Lattanzio and Adrien Bertin and for 15 more minutes these three swapped the lead several times, never more than 8 seconds apart on the 35 second a lap track. With 10 minutes to go it was down to Reckward and Bertin, swapping the lead on pit stops as well as on the track. With two minutes to go the pair were nose to tail around the track and going onto the final lap, Adrien made the final pass for the lead at the end of the straight and he held on through bumpy conditions to take the win. Along with the performance of his Team Orion CRF Engine, Adrien was able to run on this multi-surface blue-groove track with the same set of tires in the last round of qualifying and also for the entire 45 minutes main event.

Losi Micro BL Power conversion

Losi Micro Brushless Power conversion

Losi have announced the July release of this simple and affordable Micro Vehicle electronics upgrade. The 27MHz AM Receiver/ 3 Wire Servo Combo is what you need to complete the conversion to the Losi Xcelorin brushless system, as the conversion to a brushless system requires the use of a standard three wire receiver and servo in order to be compatible with the Xcelorin ESC. The 27MHz AM Receiver is compatible with the stock Micro Vehicle 27mhz AM transmitter, which eliminates the need to purchase a new transmitter.

Specially developed for off road racing, the Kamikaze sets new benchmarks in terms of life, wear and grip in today’s off road racing.

Also available as pre-mounts, that use LRP’s special gluing system to provide the highest durability, they come with a special moulded insert which reduces tire wear to a minimum. In addition, the all new Kamikaze tire features revolutionary venting holes to aid performance through optimum air circulation, avoiding pressure in the tire ensuring the insert works at even the highest rpm. To easily distinguish between the different compounds the hardness of the tire is embedded in the side wall.
