Yannick Aigon, TQ driver at the most recent IFMAR 1/8 Off-Road World Championship, has joined RB Products in the R&D department. Yannick will also drive the XRAY XB8 in France to strengthen the XRAY French team. XRAY will work very hard on further improvement and development, and with world class top drivers like Aigon and other running XRAY, it will certainly help to speed up the evolution of the car.

Here is what Yannick says:

"XB8 is a very good product with excellent quality. I will have also a very important job as far as the international competitions are concerned. I am so motivated to start the new season in such conditions, this is a wonderful challenge!"

Is this the guy who TQ'd but then got tossed out cuz his tanks was literally .5 cc's too big?

Yes, he was disqualified from the final, but not because his tank was "literally" too big; it was just because it was too big.

Top talent. He ran Hobao Hyper 7 and Picco at the worlds. According to many first hand accounts, he was the fastest man at that race. It will be interesting to see how he does with the new car and new line of engines.
