TLR & Losi Collect Hardware in Multiple Classes at JBRL Electric Rnd 3

Palm Desert R/C Raceway was home to Round 3 of the JBRL electric series.  The track layout was fast and fun with really high grip setting up for a great weekend of racing. In the super competitive Modified 2wd class Aaron Lane took his first JBRL 2wd Mod win with his TLR 22 Buggy after overtaking TLR driver Frank Root in the early stages of the race.


Root took the over all TQ using both his TLR 22 mid-motor car in the first round of qualifying and then his rear motor set-up in the in the final round of qualifying. 


The Pro4 class has proven to be one of the most competitive classes at JBRL. Round 3 would be no different with qualifying running very close between the top drivers. Team Losi Racing put four TEN-SCTE cars in the A-main with Ryan Dunford qualifing the highest starting in second. At the start of the A-main Dunford made a spectacular sky pass, jumping over the leader to take the lead and never looked back. Lane battled for 2nd for a while until Casper snuck up on and passed him on a bobble. The two would battle for 2nd and 3rd for a few laps but Casper edged him out in the end to take 2nd place with Lane finishing 3rd.

In the Sportsman Stock Truck class Keith Whisler started the day off right with a TQ in Round 1 of qualifying and taking overall TQ of the day. It is always nice to start out front in electric racing with short 6 minute mains and that was shown to be true with a great start in the main from Whisler. With some consistent laps Whisler took home his second win of the year in the Sportsman class. Whisler also took the 3rd spot on the podium in the Sportsman Stock Buggy class with his TLR 22.
