This is an on-road/off-road racing (1/8 buggy) ESC/motor combo event story, squarely in the 'high-speed car electronics / racing ESCs' category that the show has historically NOT covered for Hobbywing. Even as an event story it centers on racing electronics rather than crawler/trail gear, so it falls far outside the show's Hobbywing pattern despite being a genuine recent event.
