Kurt Wenger partners with Avid

After 9 years at Team Associated developing World championship products, Kurt Wenger has decided to branch out on his own to create parts and accessories that will change the pace of development in the R/C industry. His new mission is to focus on research and development of cutting edge, value-based 10th and 8th scale products that will enhance the racing experience for avid RC enthusiasts. With 6 IFMAR World Championships under his belt, lead engineer Kurt “Coach” Wenger is taking his unique and unparalleled R/C experience into a new endeavor. After making the decision to move from a traditional desk job at Associated to developing a new product line he reached out to David Joor of Avid Racing Concepts, who is an expert in e-commerce web solutions as well as an accomplished racer. David has been successfully building the Avid brand for 8 years and was looking for a way to expand his business. Kurt and David decided to create the perfect partnership by adding a world champion product engineer to the world championship Avid brand. Expect the first results of this partnership to be released later this month.
