TLR Takes 3 On The East Coast!

It was another great weekend for TLR on the East coast. TLR’s Factory driver J.R. Mitch attended the Thunder Ally RC Speedway Christmas Race in Wilson, North Carolina. Mitch was there to make it known that the new TLR 8IGHT 4.0 is the car to beat this season by setting the TQ and taking the win in the Nitro Buggy class. To back up his nitro buggy efforts, Mitch also set the TQ and took the win in the E-Buggy class.

To top off a perfect weekend, TLR’s rising star Austin Woodward finished second in the Nitro Buggy class with his 8IGHT 4.0, but laid it down in the Nitro Truggy class by taking the TQ and the win. Looks like the kid is making his presence known!

Maifield Doubles Up at J Concepts Finals!

When you want to make a statement and you don’t know how, take a page out of TLR’s Ryan Maifields hand book. At the J Concepts Indoor National Final, Maifiled walked away with a win the incredibly tough 2WD Modified buggy class by beating not one, but three World Champions in the process. How do back that up…by going out and doing the same thing in Modified 4WD buggy…that’s how! More proof that the new TLR 22 3.0 is the buggy to beat along with the always winning TLR 22-4.
