Perhaps one of the more unfamiliar name in the international race scene, Morotech's Hideo Kitazawa is a race veteran and a beast in his own right. Showing great pace here at the IFMAR 1/12th scale World Championship, Kitazawa is a previous World's A-main finalist and a name you'll definitely be hearing more of in the future. Watch for Kitazawa as he starts 4th on the grid at this year's 2016 Worlds.
