Muchmore Racing have announced that current 3-time IFMAR ISTC and 2014 IFMAR 1:12 World Champion Marc Rheinard has renewed his contract with the Asian firm and that he will be also using Muchmore’s line of competition batteries from 2015, having used Thunder Power batteries for several years now. Marc, who already uses Muchmore’s electric brushless motors, speed controllers and chargers, had the following to say about the deal:

I would like to thanks Thunder Power LiPo batteries for their great support over the last years. Now is time for a change. As I’m already using the new Muchmore Racing Fleta ZX motors and Fleta ESC I made the decision to use all electric products from Muchmore Racing. I’m really happy with all Muchmore Racing products, quality, design and technical support … all is perfect and we work as a Team perfect together. Big thanks to Mr. Jang who gives me the opportunity to use the new Muchmore Racing Impact FD2 LiPo, Fleta ESC and Fleta ZX Motors in the future.
