Traxxas Dominates RC Pro National Championship Three Years Straight
Where: Rockford Metro Centre, Rockford, IL
When: November 9th thru 12th
The 2006 RC Pro Series has come to an end, and Traxxas nailed its third consecutive RC Pro national monster truck title. This time, it was Traxxas driver Tim Roberts behind the wheel. Tim came into the finals ranked third in the southern division and sixth in the nation. He put on a hard fought battle with Traxxas’ Steve Slayden in the main to take the win, thus grabbing enough points to seal the national championship. Slayden finished second in the main, with Mark Cordeiro (North east) in third, and JJ Turk (Eastern points leader) rounding the top four.

1. Tim Roberts (South) – Revo 3.3 / Traxxas Top Fuel

The season finale was hosted in Rockford, Illinois at the Rockford Metro Centre indoor arena. Carlton Eppes (owner, R/C Pro) went big hosting the finals at the Metro Centre, and the event was no disappointment. Radio control industry exhibits were displayed in the concourse section and the crowd was treated to the best R/C racing in the country. The track was big and provided a consistent surface for the drivers to compete on throughout the entire event.
The monster truck field was packed with Traxxas Revos, with Revos occupying the top ten national points positions and 14 out of 15 spots in the A-final. Congratulations to Tim Roberts for winning the 2006 R/C Pro national monster truck title with the Traxxas Revo 3.3 and Traxxas Top Fuelracing fuel.
