Double National Champ chooses Losi

[jimmy]

Horizon Hobby UK are pleased to confirm that former 1:10 electric off-road national champion Lee Martin has chosen to run a Losi 8ight 2.0 for the 2010 season. Losi European team manager David Spashett had this to say about the deal;

“Despite concentrating his efforts in 1:10 off road for this year, Lee wanted to continue racing 1:8 nitro off-road and needed a car that is consistently fast and totally reliable everywhere and he concluded that our Losi 8ight 2.0 fits the bill perfectly. Lee is a very respected racer who is fast and consistent and we look forward to him having a very positive impact with us in the events that he attends this year.”

In addition to the 1:8 off road deal, Lee will also contest the Losi XXX-based Atomic Carbon CR2 car in 2WD electric until such times as his main chassis sponsor has one of their own for him to use. Lee must now be amongst the pre-season favourites to regain his BRCA 4WD 1:10 electric national title and to add the 2WD title as well to his growing collection.

Thats interesting, is his main chassis sponsor now Tamiya TRF... and is there something in the pipelines, 2wd wise??

Nice one Lee!! You will be flying with those cars

Wouldn't it be a good time for Losi to get back focussed on 1/10 electric again instead of just 1/8 and micro cars and stuff. Everyone I speak to seems to have a soft spot for the xx4, a car which with a few minor tweaks over the years has remained competitive, and the basis of the CR is good too as is proved by the recent success of the CR2. Surely it must be worthwhile for them to develop some new products. Now lipo and brushless have taken off there seems to be renewed interest in 1/10.

is anyone going to mention to Lee that his engine is missing...?

Good luck with the new rides Lee

[Lee Martin]

thanks ya'll...

maybe that engine gap will be filled soon ;-)

[michaelt4]

so if his main chassis sponsor is tamiya why is he not using the TRF801X

[David Church]

I would like to say that Lee has raised his game in 2009 and will raise it again in 2010!!!
He is amongst the best drivers in the world, and it's great to see such a nice guy doing good!!!
I am sure you don't need it, but good luck in your new drives!!!!
