The rumor of Mike Truhe parting ways with Team Losi Racing for 2014 has been circling for quite some time. The news is all but officially announced as Serpent America shared this photo on their Facebook page this afternoon:

 

 
 

The photo has been circling the media today, and while the facial features and paint scheme had everyone 99.9% sure it was Mike Truhe, the caption confirms it.  

 

We await a formal press release within the coming days from the Serpent headquarters, as the signing of Mike Truhe could be a huge step for the growing offroad team.

  

 

Mike Truhe has made an official statement via his Facebook page regarding the switch by saying, "As a lot of you may have already seen I have made the switch to Serpent racing for the upcoming years.  I want to start out by thanking everyone at TLR and Horizon hobby for the past support and opportunities that have brought me to where I am at today. I had a very good run with these people, but it is time to close that chapter and open a new one. I have made ALOT of very good friends there and hope that the friendship will still be there even though we don't "work" together anymore. There has been so many people that have been a huge part of my time at TLR that I'd like to thank in no particular order. Gil Losi Jr, Gil Losi Sr, Adam Drake, Todd Hodge, Bill Jeric and Kevin Gahan. This is just a very small, off the top of my head, list and there is so many more that I could list, but I hope you know who you all are! Its been a great 10+ year run, but time to move on.

I am now very excited to be working with Serpent Racing and Desoto Racing to grow and expand the Serpent brand and all that Desoto Racing has to offer. I truly feel that this is a great fit for me and that the products available are some of the best on the market. I am very excited to also be apart of this growing brand and bring the consumers the best and freshest ideas of cars and parts that are available.

See you all at the track!"
