been hearing about this for awhile

http://www.redrc.net/2009/10/mike-tr...ew-powerplant/

aparently Mike Truhe is very picky about his engine setup (like most pro's i'm sure) and has been testing many many setups from Bertin the new Orion engine guru, guess we will see soon.........might be my new powerplants for next year

yea lucky Kyosho drivers get to switch everything from orion to peek

thats costly

kind of a bum move for the k drivers if you ask me.

but good for the Losi guys.. i do like orions electronics

Didn't affect me at all...lol...thank God.

Kyosho still owns Orion but will be distributed exclusively by Horizon now (as Dave stated).

Peak Racing will be distributed through Kyosho and all but a few North American Team Orion drivers will be switching over to Peak Racing. Basically like before: re-badged Orion gear. I believe Peak Racing will be a North American thing only. I know there are some really cool new things in the pipeline but not sure what is to be talked about just yet. I'll be rocking the latest gear though so you can all see it on my cars at the races.
