Developed by the best team in the world
The R8.1 Pro has been developed with the help of the worlds best 1/8 electric drivers. Names like Jared Tebo, Ryan Cavalieri, Ty Tessman, Joe Pillars, Cody King, Renaud Savoya, Dakotah Phend or David Ronnefalk stand on the test drivers list of R&D manager Oscar Jansen. The drivers optimized the firmware of the ESC until it was perfect!
Successful Brothers
The R10.1 Pro and R8.1 Pro are true brothers. Even more than the similar look they share the same, successful racing gens: ultra low resistance PCB, high grade components throughout, high-performance FETs, CAD designed aluminum upper case for best cooling. The software allows you to perfectly adjust the driving feel to your needs. Parameters like the initial brake force, drag brake force, start mode, timing or neutral range can be adjusted easily.
First Victories
Already in the development stage of the product the R8.1 Pro has won first races in the hands of 1/8 buggy World Champion Ty Tessman! On this picture you can see the podium of the 2014 Lonestar Challenge.
