Cavalieri fastest on Day 1 of Spektrum Challenge

Nestled in the heart of Wisconsin, Trackside Hobbies plays host this weekend to the Spektrum Off-Road Challenge. Traveling from sunny Southern California to represent Team Associated is 1:10 electric ace, Ryan Cavalieri. Having ran exclusively 1:8 Buggy for the past few months, culminating with his “A” main finish at the 1:8 World Championship, Cavalieri pulled his Factory Team B4.1 and B44.1 off the shelf and laid down the fastest qualifying time in the first round of qualifying in 2wd and 4wd Modified. Not to be left out, Reedy’s very own Sean Cochran took his Factory Team SC10 to the top spot in the ultra-competitive SCT 17.5 class. With three more qualifiers on Saturday and the main events on Sunday, Cavalieri is off to a good start at what has become one of the largest indoor events in the country with 300+ entries

Team Losi 22 1:10 Electric 2WD Racing buggy

Team Losi have introduced the all-new “22” 1:10 Electric 2WD Racing buggy which they claim redefines the norm and raises the standard that all 1:10 electric off road racing buggies will be marked by. For the past few months, the TLR team have quietly been gathering data, testing prototypes and accruing information about the 1:10 off-road global race scene. The 22 is the result of many months of hard work and countless hours and thousands of laps of testing. Testing in the hot sunny climate of Southern California and the wet and often uncompromising weather of the UK, the TLR design team have encouraged and supported input from our global team drivers in the quest to deliver the most complete competition buggy in the world.
