Dillon Caldwell sweeps RC Pro Series Rd1

452 Raceway of Lindale, Texas hosted the opening round of the RC Pro Series this past weekend, with the event attracting over 120 entries. In Pro Nitro Buggy it was HB Racing’s Dillon Caldwell with the win in the 30-minute A-main event after having a troubled start to the race with his buggy’s engine running lean in the opening stages. However he was able to recover from an early pitstop to re-adjust the settings and from there he never looked back to take the lead in the final stages of the race and ultimately he walked away with the win from Agama racer and top qualifier, Jake French while another Agama pilot, Brandon Rose completed the top 3 results. Over in the E-Buggy class it was Dillon Caldwell with the overall TQ and he also came out on top after the A-mains, leaving behind Brandon Rose in 2nd and Tekno RC’s Tyler Hooks in 3rd.

Zalewski TQs & wins at XRS Poland Hot Race Series Rd1

Round 1 of the XRS Poland Hot Race Series was hosted by Latina RC Racing this past weekend. The race was held in several nitro and electric off-road classes and in 1/8th Nitro Buggy it was Bartosz Zalewski (Xray) with the overall TQ from Bartek Zambrzycki (Agama) on the 2 spot.
