Hobbywing Power Sweeps Podium at 1/8 GTE European Championship
This is a 1/8 electric off-road racing result using on-road/race-oriented high-speed ESC and motor (XeRun XR8 PRO G3, 4268 SD G3) — squarely in Hobbywing's 'not covered' category of on-road racing electronics. It's also a race-result/sponsorship PR piece, not a new product launch, and off-road buggy racing doesn't fit the crawler/trail/scale focus of the show. Low fit on multiple axes.
