After an intense weekend of racing at OCRC Raceway in Huntington Beach, California, the 2015 Reedy Race of Champions is complete! The prestigious Invitational Class came down to the final round of 4wd buggy to clearly crown a champion. Clinching a final round victory, Team Losi Racing’s Ryan Maifield sealed the deal to win his first Reedy International Race of Champions! This came as a momentous occasion for Ryan, as he narrowly missed out with 2nd place finishes in both 2013 and 2014. Team Kyosho’s Jared Tebo would finish 2nd overall behind Maifield, with Team Associated’s Ryan Cavalieri taking home third.
Spotted at the weekend’s Reedy Race of Champions in California was Serpent’s new 4WD 1/10 buggy in the hands of designer Billy Easton, we’re told that the car will also be displayed at the Nuremberg toy fair (Jan 28th – Feb 2nd).
Billy has been intensively working on this highly innovative 4wd concept over 2014 and has been testing the car for a longer period already, on various surfaces. The project is in its final stages of testing where the last small modifications are being made and the Spyder SRX-4 proto is used in some toplevel racing.
Expect the SRX-4 to be released in late March / early April.
The Reedy Race of Champions always brings out the new stuff, and this year is no different. Paul King (father/mechanic of Kyosho’s Cody King) has shared a Reedy Race selfie this afternoon displaying an all-new hat from Pro-Line Racing.
A refreshing change from the traditional black hats so often seen in the R/C world, we certainly hope this is a future production item and not limited to the PL Factory Team. Update: Another photo of the new cap surfaced ontop of Ty Tessmann’s race-winning head.
Serpent has announced they will in fact be entering the 1/10 4wd buggy race very soon with the all-new Spyder SRX-4. The Spyder line of 1/10 scale offroad vehicles has grown to include rear motor and mid-motor 2wd buggys, a 2wd short course, and will now include a 4wd buggy. World Championship winning driver/designer, Billy Easton, is behind the drawing board on the Spyder SRX-4 project and is confirmed to be racing the new buggy at the upcoming Reedy Race of Champions.
The new car has been rumored, tested, and talked about continually throughout 2014, however, as it has never been seen, it comes as quite a pleasant surprise to find out that it is in what Serpent is calling the “final stages of testing where the last small modifications are being made.” In addition to its debut at the Reedy Race, the new car will be on display at the upcoming Toy Fair in Germany, where final details and a release date will be revealed.

Our trusty spies are at it again, this time finding themselves at RC Champ Stadium in Japan. This is an indoor clay offroad facility, where it just so happens that legendary Atsushi Hara was spotted behind the wheel of the new Yokomo YZ-2 1/10 2wd buggy. Due to the fact SWORKz does not offer a 2wd buggy at this time, Hara was not just borrowing a friends radio, instead he was in fact testing the new buggy for his own use. It is said that the YZ-2 will be his weapon of choice for the upcoming Reedy International Race of Champions 2wd class. Hara will attack the Reedy Race 4wd buggy class using the latest SWORKz 1/10 4wd buggy.
