We have received word out of California that former ROAR National Champion (http://www.redrc.net/2008/06/mike-truhe-wins-roar-18th-buggy-nats/) Mike Truhe was recently spotted testing a new power plant in his Losi buggy. The new motor was seen being used in his 8ight chassis and is a departure from the usual Alpha unit that the Team Orion driver (http://www.redrc.net/2009/04/mike-truhe-joins-team-orion/) normally uses, for starters sporting a black cooling head in place of the familiar red unit. The test was part of Mike’s preparations for this week’s Nitrocross (http://www.nitrocrossworldchampionships.com/) race in Arizona where our source believes he will debut the new engine. Having lost their previous GRP engine tie up, when the Italian company ceased production (http://www.redrc.net/2009/06/grp-fire-official-statement/) earlier this year, this new motor could be the result of a bigger plan by US company Horizon Hobby, who own Losi, to once again link up with a major competition engine manufacturer. We will keep you informed as we know more.
