The 8th running of the Northern California Off-Road Championships better known as the Nor-Cal Champs, took place at Nor-Cal Hobbies in San Jose, CA.

Contest...No Contest!

The 2016 Bittydesign Euro Contest took place in Barco, Italy this past weekend. As one of the flashiest and entertaining races overseas, TLR wanted to leave their mark and that’s just what they did.

There is no other word to describe TLR’s Ryan Maifield at this year’s ROAR Nationals. TQing 7 out of 8 rounds, driving his 8IGHT 4.0 from the back of the pack after bad luck at the start and just missing the win by a seventh of a second, to taking a purely amazing wire to wire win with his 8IGHT-T 4.0! It’s no wonder Maifield is considered one of the best drivers in the entire world! Congratulations Ryan.

Atondo Works It!

Amain Hobbies held their annual SWorks Challenge this past weekend. TLR team driver Phillip Atondo drove his 8IGHT-T 4.0 flawlessly taking the TQ and the win in the Nitro Truggy class. Atondo had some bad luck in the Buggy main, but came away with the TQ Dash for Cash!

The King...Squared!

This past weekend Stateline Raceway held their annual King of Kings Race which attracts top drivers from all over the Midwest. It looked to be a great weekend, but Mother Nature had other plans. TLR team driver Collin Weatherholt laid down the TQ in E-Buggy with his 8IGHT-E 4.0. Half way through nitro qualifying, the skies opened up and Weatherholt was stuck in the last heat but still managed to put his 8IGHT 4.0 into the A main. After a slight rain delay on Sunday morning, Weatherholt laid the smack down and took convincing wins in both E-Buggy and Nitro Buggy pulling off a double at the Kings of Kings!
