Berton joins Hobbywing

With 2025 set to mark the inaugural crowning of an IFMAR 1:8 Electric Buggy World Champion, potential title contender Riccardo Berton has been announced as joining electronics manufacturer Hobbywing.  Returning to Kyosho at the end of 2024 after a four year stint leading the Infinity 1:8 Buggy program, the Italian is no stranger to Hobbywing products but now officially becomes a team driver.  On the news, the Italian World Championship finalist said, ‘I am really happy to join Hobbywing for the new season, in the last 2-years I have used their products, I have been impressed by the HW products feeling and confidence.  Thank you to Salton and the whole HW team for this opportunity and I look forward to join big drivers in the team.’  The IFMAR 1:8 Electric Offroad World Championship will take place in Barcelos, Portugal, from August 27-31.
