Axial West Coast Championship Qualifier (AWCCQ) - Long Beach, WA

"Long Beach, Washington, is famous for its clam digging, pristine coastal/drivable beach line, kite flying competitions and other summertime activities and this year was host to AWCC Qualifier Round #3. In 2010, Rocky Carlson, or Rockpile as he is known on the rccrawler.com boards, stumbled upon this very unique spot at the south end of Long Beach. Nestled against an amazing backdrop and what looks to be like a natural rainforest, especially if you’re from Southern California where vegetation grows because you bought some plants and irrigation from Home Depot, the spot could not have provided a better mix of scenery, accessibility and most importantly, amazing rock. With the compilation from the local clubs of ORCRC, WPRCCA, and WARCRC the event saw over 60 competitors in the highly coveted 2.2 Pro Class and 7 new competitors in the sportsman class ready to get their feet wet in the creative, exciting and just plain fun hobby of RC Rock Crawling." Squirrel


Scott Hughes and his Tekin FXR T-Series powered XR10 took 2nd place in the Pro 2.2 class.

Tekin podiums at the 1st Annual Motown Showdown in Modesto, California

The first ever Motown Showdown in Modesto, California was held May 13-15 which capped of to have around 75 entries. In 2wd Mod Buggy Zack found himself tarting 2nd behind Cody Turner who set the fastest pace in round two, three seconds over myself ,Tekin teammate Derick Stephenson found himself starting 5th. Zack Rogers Tq'd all three rounds of 4wd Mod Buggy and set track record for fast lap, 24.7!

With a good chance of rain on Sunday the plan was to have two A mains at 10 mins each to see who would be crowned overall champion in each class. The 2wd main was up first and the weather had just given a sample of what was going to happen next. At the 6 minute mark rain started coming down. We finished up the race with Zack Rogers in the 2nd spot, Derick Stephansen(Tekin) found himself 4th overall after the long mud packed race.

Shortly after the 4wd main was up and I was more than ready as the track had dried out just a bit. The buzzer went off and Zack was gone. His Tekin powered Kyosho car was on rails all weekend and within three mins I had already streached a 3/4 track lead over 2nd place Cody Hughey. Zack would suffer a rare car failure while still taking 2nd. A2 would be called due to weather.

Tekin's Clint Riley would win also take the Stock/Intermediate class with his 13.5 Redline powered Losi 22. Greg Stephansen would finish behind him, also Tekin powered.

Kyle Johnson signs with Tekin!

Team Tekin would like to welcome Kyle Johnson to the team. Kyle's most recent success was the Silver State Short Course Championships held at 702 Raceway in Las Vegas, Nevada. Kyle drove his Tekin powered Losi SCTe to victory in this highly competitive class.
