Orlowski to run Elceram ESC

1:12 World Champion Michal Orlowski is to run Elceram ESCs as part of his Schumacher race program with the Czech manufacturer announcing the Polish star as part of its team line-up for 2025. While Orlowski was announced as joining electronic newcomer Team Cayote yesterday, that deal will see him using just batteries. One of the busiest drivers in RC, due to his onroad and offroad program with British manufacturer Schumacher, his profile is sure to benefit Elceram on the international stage. Commenting on the announcement, Orlowski said, ‘Elceram first of all because of the professionalism and passion, for how nice people are in Elceram, the connection I immediately had with Jan and the rest of the team and the product itself – it is unbelievable product with extremely innovative technology. You can set up the speedo on the screen without the program – card, you have all the data driver needs before and after the run, and how easy it is to set up. There are so many benefits to use Elceram, and that´s why I decided to join for 2025.’
