Round 6 of the JBRL Nitro Series was held at Revelation Raceway in Ontario, CA. Once again the series attracted a large amount of talented drivers with a total of more than 120 entries. Adam Drake tq’ed and won the Expert Electric Buggy class with his Tekin powered TLR 8ight E 3.0.  Adam chose the award winning Tekin Rx8 Gen2 Esc and T8 Gen2 1900 and T8i 1950 to power him to his JRBL series title after wrapping it up early in the first 6 races.

Team Tekin Driver Paul Timberlake using the Tekin RSX and Gen 2 6.5 Motor took the win in the A main – Round One of SMCC Winter Series.

A damp track greeted the driver’s early Sunday morning qualifying, knowing this most drivers opted for the softer Silver compound tyre. Round’s one, two and three would be shared between Kevin Lee and Paul Timberlake meaning the final rd, (using the rd by rd format) would be a straight fight between the two drivers, and the big question was, was it dry enough for dry tyres. Yes was the answer. A scrappy fourth rd, enable Kevin to take the overall Top spot on the grid. A close second was Paul Timberlake, and 3rd was Nigel Buck.

A Main Final: An early mistake by Kevin allowed Paul to take the top spot, and he didn’t look back from there. As hard as Kevin chased, he didn’t have the ultimate pace to catch Paul, although a couple of late bobbles allowed Kevin to close the gap, but Paul held his nerve and took the Win.

“As always my Tekin equipment worked faultlessly. The only change I made during the day, was to wind down the boost just until the track dried. Then once the track dried later in the day, I reverted back to my std settings.” Paul Timberlake

Tekin factory driver Joe Bornhorst attended Rd1 of the Winter Racing League series held at CRCRC, Ohio RC Factory, and Sparks Park respectively.  Joe entered the Pro4 SC class and 1/8 E buggy divisions.

“On Friday afternoon, I arrived at the track and began to get ready for some practice runs. Both of my Tekin powered Tekno vehicles were on point from the first lap on the track, which made the night pretty easy on me. Since no changes were needed for my cars, I spent my time breaking in my AKA Clay Typos, and continued to learn the track. It was a pretty basic practice night.

On Saturday morning, I arrived at the track bright and early and prepared for the day. I ran each of my cars twice, which served as a nice warm up for the racing that soon followed. Throughout every round of rocket round qualifying, I was able to hold the TQ spot in both classes, with the 2nd round being the quickest runs for me in both classes. As the day went on, the track began to dry out but still no changes were needed for either of my cars.

Going into the mains, I felt quite confident that I could hold onto the top spot, but I knew that I would still have to have clean runs to bring home the wins. Luckily, I was able to do just that, and pulled away from the pack to take the wins in both main events!

I would like to thank all of my sponsors for the continued support, Tekin, Tekno RC, Magic Hobbies, AKA, MIP, Avid, SMC Batteries, PT RC Racing Oils, the Radio Impound Podcast, and Double Crossed Designs.

Tekin powered Mark Moon would take the overall win in 2wd Mod Buggy with TQs and wins in the last 3 events. In 1/10 4wd Mod Buggy, Moon would take and 2md overall. “This was the best racing and talent I’ve seen at a series race in years. In 2wd we had a stacked field of drivers in the main.” Moon

Mark Moon, Blane Allen

“I used my Tekin RSX esc in both vehicles to take the wins in the A mains. I ran gen 2 7.5 in the 2wd buggy and a 6.5 gen 2 in the 1/10 4wd. Let me say this in ending, without the smooth power that these great speed controls provide I couldn’t do these things without Tekin. Thank you guys once again for the great product.” Mark Moon

In 1/8 E Buggy Tekins Shay Brand  was able to get the TQ in all 3 rounds of qualifying in Pro E-Buggy, which gave me the overall TQ with Tekin teammate Griffin Hanah not far behind. Brand had a great start to the 10 minute a-main, and was able to take advantage of his TQ position and never look back. Tekin teammate Griffin Hannah was able to get into the 2nd position, and stay there for the entire race solidifying the Tekin 1 and 2 finish for the finals. Shay Brand was also able to take the overall Series win in Pro E-Buggy!  “I was running the Tekin RX8 Gen2/T8 Gen2 1900kv combo in m Mugen MBX7-Eco buggy for the entire series. It was always consistent and offered smooth and controllable power. Huge thanks to all my family and all my sponsors for making this possible for me!”

2014 Southern Nationals was held in Monroe Louisiana. Tekin team driver were in attendance and making sure their presence was known. With a technical layout and somewhat slippery conditions in practice it was sure to make for close racing all weekend. The race was setup for 3 rounds of qual points and triple A-mains.

1/8 E Buggy had an entire podium filled with Tekin factory drivers. Tyler “Too Fast” Hooks would take the overall win with teammate Brian “Smiley” Henn along with Chad Panek in 2nd and 3rd respectively.  All 3 drivers chose the award winning Tekin Rx8 Gen2 esc and T8 Gen2 line of motors.

Exp. Electric Buggy: 1) Tyler Hooks 2) Smiley Henn 3) Chad Panek

In E-Truggy Tyler Hooks would Tq with Martin Harrison starting from P2 going into the triple A’s.  A1 Hooks and Harrison were able to get out front and put in solid laps. Hooks would take the  with teammate Harrison taking 2nd.  In A2 I followed closely in 3rd as Tyler Hooks would break and allow me to move in the 2nd spot behind Brad Ripple. Brad would then fall with mechanical failures with 3 laps to go allowing me to take the win. A3 I was in a tie with Tyler Hooks for the overall and locked in for a solid 2nd. With a horrible start that I could not recover from, I finished 2nd overall.  All 3 drivers chose the award winning Tekin Rx8 Gen2 esc and T8 motor line.

Electric Truggy: 1) Tyler Hooks 2) Martin Harrison 3) Brad Ripple

In Pro4 Tekin power would dominate the event. Tekn factory driver Brian Smiley Henn would Tq the division with Martin Harrison in P2.  A1 Henn and Harrison would get out  to a fairly clean for some great heads up racing together. Harrioson was able to make a pass to take over the lead about mid race and never looked back. Harrison taking A1 with Henn in two in 2nd. A2 there would be 3 lead changes between Harrison and Smiley Henn putting on a driving show. Harrison would hold on to the leading making the only 12 lap run in A2 to take the overall win in Pro4. Harrison said “Making the decision to remove the over powered HD 4300kv motor and install the Pro4 4600kv was important in my victory for the Pro4 class. The Pro4 HD was just too much for the slick conditions and proves that having the right equipment at the right time can make a difference.”  Once more all 3 drivers chose the award winning Tekin Rx8 Gen2 esc and Pro4 or Pro4 HD line of motors.

4wd Open CORR: 1) Martin Harrison 2) Smiley Henn 3) Brad Ripple
