Young Guns Dominate the Cactus Classic

PeterV · #1 03-23-2005, 07:57 PM

Team Associated driver Jared Tebo took the win in the 2WD Mod class at the Pro-Line/RC Car Action Cactus Classic in Scottsdale, AZ, which proves the well-known nitro specialist is an equally talented electric racer. Team Trinity's Ryan Cavalieri won Mod Truck, while Ryan Mayfield finished first in 4WD with his J-Concepts buggy. What do these three drivers have in common? They’re all 19 years old or younger. Think about it: when you were watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off in the theatre, these guys were newborns. Darn kids.

Tebos really been cleaning house this year, And pudge has been On a domination streak for how long now? I wonder how long until we see the cavalieri model losi truck that can switch from electric to nitro and do a damned good job at both.

I'm not sure who's a better driver, Tebo or Pudge. Both are on FIAAA

It's good to see Mayfield's not a one hit wonder.

nice to see a different vehicle than the Losi win 4wd mod. I wonder if this raises losi's attention a bit for there 4wd market.

Losi is about the only company that's paid much attention here in the states as it is, and the XXX4 is still winning 99% of all the major 4wd titles around the world. I don't think Losi is the one that should be paying more attention.

So what has happened to Matt Frances and Brian Kinwald. I haven't seen there names in the win colum lately maybe thay will be swithing to the A-Team as well you never know....As far as 4WD goes it just dosen't seem to be as popular as 2WD Electric Buggy and Truck calsses..

You'll never see that.... Pudge is a poor sport and has shown poor sportsmanship in the past. If things aren't going right for him, or not running well, look out! He has major temper tantrums.

Well no Losi truck anymore since AE got Cavileri. I think the Tebo/Cavaleri duo will really start to dominate offroad racing.

A little know fact is that both Francis and Kinwald used to drive for AE a long while back. They actually went over to Losi. Your right, I haven't seen them on the podiums lately, but both are still big names who still manage to compete in top events around the world. I don't we will see them leaving Losi anytime soon, especially since they both have signature car with the company.
