We have news from Bearing specialist ABEC35; they have confirmed that the Hot Bodies drivers and current 1/8th Offroad World Champion has signed with them for the 2010 season. Having performed an exhausting 6months of testing with the bearings, Hara was said to be happy to run them! ABEC35 said he preferred the Type-X bearings for drivetrain use, whilst the general series was best for other areas of the car. Atsushi Hara is attending the Worlds Warm up in Pattaya this week and will be looking for a strong result.
