RC Car Action - RC Cars & Trucks | No Predators for Associated! APRIL 2002

No Predators for Associated! APRIL 2002

Team Associated recently announced their drivers would run Tenth Technology Predators in the 4WD class at the IFMAR off-road worlds, but has since scrapped plans to run the iconoclastic British machines (although Craig Drescher may be an exception). According to Associated, Tenth Tech simply could not provide the cars soon enough for the Team drivers to build and dial them in. So what will the A-Team's 4WD pilots be running in Africa? Whatever they want! Billy Easton and Mark Pavidis will race TC3-derived buggies hand-built with German conversion parts, but don't look for a production Associated 4-wheeler to come of it; the company strongly asserts there are no plans to build a 4WD buggy.

20th Cactus Classic Rains Out with Cav & Tebo on top

A freak springtime rainstorm in Scottsdale, AZ shut down the mains at the 20th Annual Pro-Line & RC Car Action Cactus Classic. The rain came down hard and heavy, so the sponsors made the call to award the trophies according to qualifying order. Team Associated's Ryan Cavalieri TQ’d both the 2WD and Truck Mod Classes and Jared “Rambo” Tebo picked up the TQ in 4WD Mod with his J Concepts BJ4. Pro-Line prez Todd Matson commented that this was the first rain-out in 20 years--the very first Cactus Classic was rained out too.
