Tom Yardy teams up with Savöx

CML Distribution report that UK frontrunner Tom Yardy has hooked up with Savöx for the coming season to run the new Razor brushless 1/10th speed controller. This is what Tom has to say:

I am very happy to be a part of the Savöx team in 2013 – their very popular range of servos has led them to be regarded as one of the most reliable and high quality brands in the industry. It was a hope of many racers that they would expand their electric range to include brushless speed controllers and that is exactly what they have done with the Razor unit. Testing has shown the ESC to deliver a great balance between incredible top speed with smooth power delivery. The ESC is also very easy to set up and tune to your driving style with the programming box included. I look forward to a successful relationship through 2013 and beyond.
