Phillip Atondo and Jacob Haas Tq and win at the 2011 Offroad Kings!

Norcal Hobbies hosted the 2011 Annual Offroad Kings race as a nationals warm up event. The event went off without a hitch and proved to have some great racing battles.


Phil Atondo took his Tekin powered Losi Ten Scte to the overall Tq in the Pro 4 SCT class. Phil went out to easily take A1 and A2 by nearly a lap each round! Proving once again the Pro 4 is in a class of it's own!

Jacob Haas having just signed with Tekin days prior to the event took his Tekin powered TLR 22 to a Tq and overall win in the Open 2wd Mod buggy class. Jacob used a Tekin RS Pro and 10.5 Redline to take the win. Shon Wilcox taking 2nd overall with his Tekin powered TLR 22 as well. Great racing guys!

Team Tekin driver Stuart Harlow takes TQ and centre podium position at round 4 of the UK Short Course nationals!

With 3 SC National TQ's and a win at the hot & dusty Adur track Tekin is proving yet again to be the Speedo and motor to beat. Taking TQ and the first 2 legs of the A final the RX8 and SC4 motors were just too much for the opposition.

Ryan Lutz checks in from the Ohio R/C Pro Series @ Medina R/C Raceway

"In 4wd Pro Mod Short Course all eyes were on my DESC410R. This thing is just stupid fast and has so much get up and go. For one the truck is simply the fastest truck in this class and everyone is beginning to realize this. Also I was again running my Tekin RX8 Speedo with the new 4 pole motor and it just flat out flies. People were amazed at the speed this thing has especially being a 540 can. I was able to throw down a 28.6 with my SC truck and my best lap in buggy was a 27.4! I was able to dominate qualifying to the tune of an 18 second TQ. In the main the guys behind me battled it out and I took off to a 1.5 lap win in 7 minutes. I let a handfull of people try my truck during the weekend and they were all amazed at it’s performance. They also couldn’t believe how smooth and fast the new 4 pole Tekin motor is. All of them before the race were running various makes and models of other SC trucks. After this race they are all getting a Durango with the new Tekin 4 pole when it becomes available shortly. I know they will be pleased! " Ryan Lutz

Tekin cleans house at the 2011 Westside Challenge III NCT round 3

Dave Gullickson would take the Tq and overall win in the Stock Truck division using a Tekin RS Pro and Redline 17.5 motor. Dave would get out to the lead and never look back taking A1 and A2.

Dave would also Tq mod truck with the same RS Pro 17.5 Redline combination. His luck however would only last him through A1 taking the win. A2 he would DNF due to a mechanical finishing in last place. A3 Dave would again have an issue 1 1/2 minutes in while getting marshalled his sensor harness would fail. Normally this would be a DNF but because he's using Tekin he continued to motor on taking 2nd place in A3 and 2nd place overall.

Jesse Munn piloted his Tekin powered Venom Gambler to an overall win by taking the first to A mains. Jesse would also take 2nd place overall in 2wd Mod Buggy.

The 2011 ROAR Region 4 Championship were hosted at the Coral Springs RC Car Club. The event had over 170+ entries and was shaping up to be an event not to miss. Rain!

A few hours of track maintenance using some saw dust and they were racing! Great job track crew!
