Phillip Atondo wins Truggy at Nor-Cal Series Rd2

Nor-Cal Series Rd2 was held at Delta R/C in Antioch CA recently. The track had an awesome layout of big air and fast wide lanes which made for some great racing. TLR team driver Phillip Atondo would qualify 2nd in pro buggy and TQ pro truggy and all A-mains would be 25 minutes, so anything could happen. Atondo would use the advantage of his TQ and get out to a clean start in pro truggy and never look back ending with a nice one lap lead at the finish to take the overall win. Phillip would also take second place on the podium in Pro Buggy with his new TLR 8ight 2.0 Kit.

Holst & Graversen wins Danish TC Nats Rd1

The opening round of the Danish Championship for electric touring cars, was held last weekend on an indoor large scale asphalt track, 50km outside Copenhagen in Ugerloese. The track is big and the grip is very high, due to the rubber and fuel from the large scale cars that usually drive on this track. That made it really fast for the electric cars. In the modified class the fastest lap times were just below 9,5 second, and for the Super Stock class with 13,5T motor and no speedo timing (blinky mode), the best time was 10,0 sec a lap, only .5 sec slower.
