Having raced for his new sponsors at the KO Grand Prix last weekend, Thunder Power RC have confirmed the signing of Paul Lemieux to their team, bringing with him 13 years of RC racing experience. Among his many career highlights Paul currently holds seven on-road championship titles in electric touring car, electric modified touring car, nitro sedan and many other classes.

I joined Team Thunder Power RC after seeing how they and their products have performed in RC racing over the past year. Knowing TPRC’s history and stronghold in the RC aircraft and helicopter LiPo battery and charger markets, I know they are going to continue to bring new technology, knowledge and experience to the car market. With my experience and passion for racing and joining Team TPRC, I will have the ability to test and race using the latest in LiPo battery and charger technology. I am excited about the future of TPRC and am proud to represent them at all major US and International electric/LiPo events.

With Thunder Power RC entering the surface marketplace, they felt Josh, with his 21 years of experience in the hobby including product design, testing, tuning and racing, would be a perfect choice to support their products at the highest levels. Josh will play an important role by not only using and promoting our products at race events around the world, but also by assisting in the testing and development of future TPRC products.
