Team Orion equiped

About a month ago I had the urge to upgrade my equipment so I chose to try one of my favorite brands, TEAM ORION.
They have come out with a few new goodies lately so I was eager to have them installed on my car.

The items I installed are:

Team Orion HMX 10 Modified speed control
Vortex Ultimate Modified 4.5T motor
Ultimate Graphene HV 7.6v 7.000 mAh LiPo battery
Vortex VDS2-HV XS servo

TITC 2013 - ATSUSHI HARA WINS !!

I am a big fan of Atsushi and very happy to see him win big again.
Here are the first shots of his winning machine with which he dominated the event, getting TQ in all his runs, Lap record and two wins in the Amains.
At a quick first glance I noticed new central mounted floating servo mount, new low profile shock towers and short shocks with new shock caps.

On the occasion here are the cars of Satoshi and Marc from Tamiya. Satoshi's car features a new motor mount which places the motor further inside to the chassis. This was also spoted on Jilles' car and it is believed that TAMIYA were testing different configurations using parts from YOKOMO's BD7.
