Barry Pettit wins the Amain-Dialed Offroad Champs!

"We attended the A-Main Hobbies/Dailed Inc. Offroad Championship race in Shreveport, Louisiana this past weekend. After the 13 hour trip we arrived to a flat, rain soaked area that was once a track and the chance of racing looked slim. But have no fear, the infamous Joey from THE DIRT was on hand and in command of some heavy equipment. By 10PM that night there was a race track and practice was beginning.

Qualifying began on Saturday and the toughest challenge quickly became the track. The sun dried the surface to a moon crater cracked look and what appeared to be an easy layout was truly a mind teaser.

In the Electric classes we had no issues and TQ'ed the e-truggy class and started 3rd in the e-buggy class, which was the largest 1/8 class at the event! Our cars were dialed for the mains and we pulled the win in both the e-truggy and e-buggy class. The Tekin powered Mugens were handling and absorbing the bumps like no other, and the JConcept tires laid down the power to the difficult surface." Barry Pettit

Barry used the following equipment to dominate the Electric 1/8 classes!


1/8 Eletric Buggy: Tekin Rx8 T8 2050 powered Mbx6 Eco with Protek Batteries, Ko radio equipment.

1/8 Electric Truggy: Tekin Rx8 T8 2000 powered Mbx6T Eco with Protek Batteries, Ko radio equipment.

Tekin's Andy Castellini takes the 2012 ROAR Region 2 Mod Stadium Title!

Andy Castellini had a great day at East Coast Hobbies in Winchester, Virginia.  The fresh clay, well groomed track was technical and fast.  It required smart driving, a smooth power band to tame the infield, and quick acceleration to clear traffic. Andy had his Tekin RS Pro powered AE Truck on rails all weekend setting the TQ to beat in Mod Truck and then going on to win both A Mains for the Title.  Andy chose the 7.5 Redline Motor combined with the Hotwire programming for his RS Pro for his winning combination.

In addition to the TQ & WIN in Stadium Truck, Andy was able to qualify his Tekin Powered 2 Wheel and 4 Wheel Associated Buggies into 2nd position in “A” Main, finishing up the “Double A Main’s” in second as well….Tekin does it AGAIN!
