TLR Rocks the Cactus!

The 30th Annual Cactus Classic race was held this past weekend at Hobbytown/SRS in Phoenix, Arizona and TLR’s Dakotah Phend scored two more impressive wins! Phend was the man to beat in modified 4WD Buggy with his TLR 22-4 as he set the TQ and went on to win A1 and A3 for the overall title! Phend continued his dominance in the 4WD Short Course class by driving his SCTE 2.0 to the TQ and then taking the overall win. To cap off a great weekend, Phend also drove his 22 3.0 to the second step on the podium in the Mod 2WD Buggy class.

In the Stock division, it was TLR’s Chris Wheeler driving his 22 3.0 to a very impressive TQ. Wheeler, who calls SRS his home track, was not about to let anyone come into his house and show him how it’s done as he went on to take the overall win in the Stock Buggy class.


Having an odd off weekend, Ryan Maifield took third in the Mod 2wd Short Course class. Also with an impressive run, TLR’s David Jensen took second place in the 4WD Short Course class.

Ellis Takes Two at the 25th

Celebrating its milestone, P&T Hobbies and Raceway held their “25th Anniversary Race” on Saturday February 27th, sporting 3 rounds of rocket round qualifications and lengthened A Mains to determine who got to stake claim to some coveted titles amongst the 90+ entries that arrived. P&T being where it all started for TLR driver Ben Ellis, there was no way the former local would miss out on such a unique race. Competing in 2wd Mod Buggy (TLR 22 3.0) and PRO 2wd SC (TLR 22SCT 2.0). With the vehicles on point, Ellis was able to grab the overall TQ in both classes, and was able to win the lengthened A mains in both as well, making it a clean sweep for TLR.
