Tollard leaves Team Associated
Long time Team Associated team driver Cole Tollard has announced he will not be re-signing for iconic brand and their electronics division Reedy Power. The American was picked up by Associated at a young age and has represented them for an impressive 11-year stint. During that time he added to the company’s silverware collection including the ROAR Mod Truck National title. In his announcement on Facebook, Tollard said the ‘decision was it was not easy’ and he thanked everyone at AE ‘for the opportunity to represent such a great company’. A great ambassador for the sport with his friendly and helpful personality, we await news of his future plans.
Man oh man has it been a ride in 2022. As the year is coming to a close unfortunately I will not be re-signing with Team Associated and Reedy Power. We’ve had a very strong running for 11 years. With that being said it is a little bittersweet since I like to stay loyal to brands, but new opportunities come and go. I appreciate all the help and support through the years from getting picked up as a 50% driver and working my way up the rankings. They have truly been great to me. We have accomplished many things including winning my first national championship and many national/regional podiums. As for me though it hasn’t always been about winning. It has mostly been helping others achieve their goals in their R/C life. Yes this may sound a little corny, but it is true. Their is only one winner and yes it feels good. However, you need to take the little wins along the way to make the hobby all more enjoyable. I will be forever grateful for the time we had together as a team and I look forward to hanging out and chit chatting next year. Thank you to all that have supported me in this decision as it was not easy. Lastly, thank you to all the guys and gals at Team Associated as their is too many to name for the opportunity to represent such a great company. See you all in 2023! Enjoy some of the photos of the past 11 years!
