The JBRL Electric series now in it’s 9th season, travelling to tracks all over the west coast, attendance at record highs, and some of the most fun tight and competitive racing around, it’s no surprise the racers enjoy this series every year. Tekin factory driver Rudy Rico managed to have a stellar 2015 JBRL Electric series taking 3 overall titles! Rudy chose the award winning Tekin Rx8 Gen2 ESC and Pro4 HD motor to power his Tekno 4wd SC truck to victory. In his 4wd buggy the Tekin RSX ESC and Redline Gen2 motor was his weapon of choice. In E-buggy it’s no surprise that once again the venerable Tekin Rx8 Gen2 ESC and T8 Gen2 1900 motor would power him to another overall win(same choice as Adam Drake in the Nitro Series).
“Had a great season of the JBRL 2015 and was able to take 3 championships in 4wd SC, 1/8th scale buggy, and 4wd modified buggy, it was a tough year with tons of competition in each class. My Tekno Sct410.3 and EB48.3 were consistent all year to take the championships. I couldn’t of done it without my sponsors: Tekno RC, Tekin, MIP, Venom, and Schelle.” Rudy Rico
The JBRL Nitro Series just completed its 9th season. With an average of nearly 200 entries per event, it is easy to understand why the JBRL Nitro Series is the most popular racing series in the nation. The JBRL series visited 8 tracks this year. Traveling all over Southern California and Nevada and Arizona to test the skills of its competitors over a wide range of track conditions. This exciting series is fun for the novice and expert racer alike.
Adam Drake from Tekin Electronics supported all 8 events and was able to take home the 2015 Electric Buggy Championship!
Tekin would like to thank Jimmy Babcock and the entire JBRL crew for a successful series. We hope to see everyone soon at the races! Adam Drake chose the award winning Tekin Rx8 Gen2 ESC and T8 Gen2 1900 motor to power him to his second consecutive championship!
Elliott Boots would take the overall Tq position after 4 rounds of qualifying. Battling with Tekin teammate Ellis Stafford as well as Lee Martin for the win, the semi final mains would be heated to say the least. Boots running the latest Tekin Gen3 motors along with the Tekin RSX ESC would provide him with all the power he needed without fade allowing him to pace Martin in the finals and force a mistake to take the overall win at the Off-Road Wars held at Maritime. Ellis Stafford would take P3 overall also running the latest Tekin Gen3 Motor and RSX ESC.

Tq Hanna would lead everyone out in the double A-main format. Making a small mistake in each A-main and settling for 2nd in both behind Hartson Hanna would take a 2nd overall for the weekend with his Tekin powered Serpent buggies. Rudy Rico would take 3rd, and Matt Olson would take 4th. All 3 drivers choosing the Tekin RSX and Redline Gen2 lineup of motors.
L-R : Olson, Hanna, Hartson, Rico,
