After an impressive top 10 finish earlier this year at the Reedy Race of Champions, Travis Amezcua took double wins at the Chi Town Shootout in Joliet, IL. His Viper powered Durango’s take the Top Qualifying spot in 4wd Modified Buggy and the overall wins in 4wd Modified Buggy and 2wd Modified Buggy. But his winning didn’t end there, Viper power also drove Travis to 4wd and 2wd Modified class wins in the Dash for Cash. Only thing better than winning the trophies, is winning cash!!!! Travis used Viper VTX10R and VTX10 Black Edition speed controls and Viper motors to power his money making victories.

TLR’s star man at the Reedy Offroad Race of Champions last week Dustin Evans took 2nd overall and kindly sent us both his setups for 2WD & 4WD – you can even check out the ‘Under the hood’ feature with his XXX4 4WD, we were unfortunately not allowed to do an ‘under the hood‘ of any TLR 22 during the event due to the team running some new bits which weren’t released yet… OK we might have accidentally taken some photos from a far… our lenses are long and enticed by bits we’re told we can’t shoot.. anyway, thankfully we were allowed to shoot the lovely Reedy Girls and here is yet another excuse to post a photo of them (oh there’ll be many more opportunities however tenuous the link!)
See the Setup Sheet page for Dustin’s two setups (scroll to the bottom)
Our Reedy Coverage sponsors Team Durango posted up a report of their results at the 2013 Reedy Race where ’12 Champion Jorn Neumann took a very respectable 3rd place in the invite whilst their young blossoming driver Carson Wernimont took up the mantle and won 2WD Open.
Carson Wernimont also flew the Team Durango flag high by winning the 2WD open class and narrowly missing out on the 4WD open class title with a good second place finish. Carson reported that his DEX210 performed extremely well during the weekend’s fast paced action. Winning two A main finals, after already posting the three fastest consecutive laps during practice, was more than enough to see Carson getting a taste of the post win champagne shower. Carson also reported that his DEX410V3 performed very well during his gallant attempts to take the open class double. Carson went on to drive his DEX410V3 to overall second in the 4WD open class.

Whilst Dustin Evans tied on points with Cavalieri the title went to the latter based on number of wins, it was in the penultimate round #5 of 4WD which proved to be pivotal as both Evans & Cavalieri were in the same race and starting towards the back of the grid (P7 & P9 respectively) – it wasn’t until the dying stages of the race where the balance of power finally shifted… have a watch of Rd 5 Heat 2 of 4WD Invite buggy below or watch on YouTube.
