JJ Wang teams up with Xray

Xray have announced the signing of Shanghai based JJ Wang to their electric team. The young Chinese-American, who recently won the AOC season opener in Shanghai, is considered to be one of the most talented drivers at present and he will campaign Xray’s line of 1/10th scale electric on-road and off-road kits at major national races in the USA as well as at selected international events. The former HB driver has the following to say about the deal:

After the departure from my previous team, I had the opportunity and freedom to try almost every platform in the market. After several extended testing with most of the brands, Xray was by far the most consistent in performance and quality. I am very happy and thankful to join Team Xray and be a part of the family for years to come. Special Thanks to Hudy family for this opportunity.
