Futaba, one of the world’s most respected manufacturers of R/C radio systems, recently took the first step toward repeating its successful 2012 racing season by re-signing all Team Futaba drivers for the 2013 season.

“We were convinced that these drivers represented huge winning potential long before the 2012 season began,” said Team Manager Scott Cramer. “and they proved us right, race after race, event after event. I’m pleased to be working with the guys again, and looking forward to a lot more wins in the future.

“To help ensure that, we’re switching all drivers to the 4PKS-R, the most advanced Futaba racing system to date.” Cramer continued. “One reason is that the 4PKS-R is 5% faster than the previous 4PKS system…and that’s a huge advantage at that level of competition. Running Futaba receivers and high-voltage servos only add to it.

“I’d like to thank the guys for their contributions in 2012, and wish them the best for this year.” Cramer added.
