Team Associated’s Ryan Cavalieri has dominated the 2015 ROAR 1:10 Electric Off-Road Nationals held at Hobbytown/SRS in Phoenix Arizona. Taking the TQ in all four modified classes, the 4-time IFMAR World Champion was locked in to the zone through Friday and Saturday’s qualifying, taking the top spot in all 4 modified classes. With 12 A Mains scheduled in the four classes, Cavalieri only needed eight of them to sew up the four National Championships and so sweeping both A1 and A2 main events in all insured that Ryan Cavalieri would be crowned champion before any of the other finishing positions were settled. Team Associated would take a fifth title at the weekend with privateer Alan Wright winning Racing Truck 17.5 with his T5M.
