Making the announcement, Orlowski posted, ‘As of 31st December 2024 I am no longer a Hobbywing and Sunpadow team driver. I would like to thank both of these companies for the tremendous support over the past 3 years that we have worked together and their belief and trust in me. These have been the most successful years of my life thus far, however I am extremely excited for what the future holds for me. Look out for my new electronics and battery sponsors in the next few days!

Yokomo RO2.0 1:10 2WD Buggy

Following the release of its newest competition buggy oﬀering the SO3.0 last month, Yokomo has announced the latest kit offering in its Rookie range, the RO2.0. The RO series, which has become a very popular machine due to its easy handling and high driving performance has evolved even further to now be released with a drivetrain that can handle dirt surfaces, and at a more reasonable price. The biggest change is in the rear end of the 2WD Buggy. A gear cover has been installed to protect the drivetrain when driving on dirt surfaces enabling daring driving without hesitation, even on surfaces with lots of sand and pebbles. The gear case also features a gearbox that emphasises rear traction, and the motor position is set closer to the rear to keep the weight closer to the rear axle. The battery position also has a wider adjustment range, allowing for even higher rear load depending on the situation.
