Evans calls time on Professional RC Career
Top Offroad racer Dustin Evans has called time on his professional RC racing career, the popular American making the announcement in a video on his social media. A driver who came to international prominence when he first won the famed Reedy Race of Champions Invitational class in 2011, he would initially represent Team Losi Racing around the globe. Red RC had the pleasure of getting to know Dustin for the first time shortly after his Reedy Race win when he travelled to Sweden for the EOS Pilot Race, an event he won 2WD Buggy at and that led to the establishment of the full Euro Offroad Series in which he would lead TLR’s early season efforts. Getting to know Dustin well over the years, he was always a true professional to deal with and we also always enjoyed sharing cycling stories, Dustin a very competent and competitive road cyclist. Attending our first Reedy Race of Champions in 2013, while we missed his first win two years earlier, we would have the pleasure of reporting on his second win of this iconic race in 2018. Racing with Reedy and Associated for the last 8-years, the US manufacturer paid tribute to his contribution to the team in a social media post that said, ‘Associated Electrics would like to extend a big thank you to Dustin Evans for a great 8 years of racing together. With multiple IFMAR World Finals and ROAR National Finals, Dustin has been one of the most consistent 1:10 racers in the world for the past decade. We wish Dustin all the best as he enters the next chapter of life as Husband and Father and he will always be a part of the #WeAreAE family. Head over to his social media pages for a heartfelt message announcing his retirement and to wish him well. Good Luck Dustin!’
