    That's a very weird move, I saw he had decided to leave Axial, but moving to a competitors brand and away from the company he created?

    Redcat must be making moolah!

    On the face of it you've got to think this is quite a coup for Redcat... Will be interested to see what differences he'll make.
    Quite like some of the Redcat kit[emoji106]
