Team Associated’s Ryan Cavalieri has dominated the 2015 ROAR 1:10 Electric Off-Road Nationals held at Hobbytown/SRS in Phoenix Arizona.

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.
