Yes, i remember that Ronnefalk' awful flameout in '14 world semi too. But time will tell.
Finally i hope that '16 wouldn't be Silly year for the whole RC industry at all, despite all signs like GoPro stock fall and so on

I have a quite a lot of experience with engines manufacturerd by the same manufacturer and witnessed few Orions from nearby and they are sensitive tuning wise and take a long time to warm up.

I wonder if Tebo initiated the move or if Proline approached him. Hey maybe it's the Trifecta he wants to use!

Hmmm I wonder if there was any dissatisfaction with Serpent? That's great that Mugen has another top driver. I guess Serpent now has a void to fill.

I think from him not being in the top spot it must hurt his place and maybe the serpent cars didt suit him

Isn’t he really good friends with Drake? Probably just finally pairing back up since the TLR mass migration.

Not sure. Seems strange because as Socket said earlier I have read that they apparently have an edge in Las Vegas.

I wouldn't say AKA has an advantage at Vegas. I'm a local and on a dry surface, which the worlds will be ran on, I had better luck on Proline. Luck being the "operative" word. Proline Blockades in an x3 compound got me through a 45 minute main for a win in open truggy at the Nevada State Championships and Fugitives helped my buggy to a first in intermediate. both were solid performers on the dry surface. I do prefer AKA Grid Irons when it's ran wet. I am surprised by all the drivers leaving AKA, though.
