Eric Ladiao
Chassis: Tamiya TRF 415
Radio: Futaba 3pm FM
Bio: Joined Kyokuro in 2010 at the age of 19, and was recruited by Nate. Eric is as "green" as they come, with no prior experience or history with an RC car or toy. Currently the only 50/50 driver in our team, Eric shows promise, developing steadily, despite his lack of knowledge in the hobby. Encouraged by the Team to continue 50/50, Eric hopes to complete the ranks as a CS RC Drifter. Until then, he is honing his understanding as a driver, and gaining knowledge in the hobby of RC cars in general.

Bio: Joined Kyokuro in 2010 at the age of 16, making him the youngest member of the team.Nate also has prior RC experience with a Tamiya TT-01, so he came into the hobby with some understanding of RC Drifting.
