April 13: Associated's Amezcua takes 4WD and truck, Cavalieri TQs and wins 2WD for Losi. The Team Losi Off Road Championships (which doubled as an IFMAR Worlds warm-up) drew racers from around the globe making for fierce competition. The Minnreg RC club located in Largo, FL hosted the race that will also host the IFMAR Worlds in October. Travis 'Peanut' Amezcua had an excellent weekend with a TQ and first place win in the Factory Mod Truck class driving an Associated T3, another first place victory in Factory 4WD Mod and a third place result in Factory 2WD Mod. Ryan 'Pudge' Cavalieri dominated the 2WD Modified class with a TQ and won the first two of the triple A-mains with his Losi Triple-X.

The 4th annual Team Losi Off-Road Championships was hosted by the Minnreg RC Club in Tampa FL, but it may may as well have been called Cavalieriville. Ryan dominated the event by TQing and winning all the Factory electric classes with his Trinity-powered Associated rides. Cavalieri's Sirio-equipped RC10GT was the truck to beat in the Factory Nitro Truck class, but he gave up the win to Team Losi's Adam Drake after Adam exploited his Triple-XNT’s quick-change wheel feature to move into the lead with fresh rubber as Ryan’s GT slowed due to worn tires.

Team Associated’s Ryan Maifield took home the Factory Modified win with his T4 with a pair of second-place finishes and one win in the triple A-Mains. Ryan Cavalieri nabbed second, and Jared Tebo took third, all wheeling Factory Team T4’s. Tebo won the Factory Gas Truck class to no one’s surprise, but he did have to work a little harder than normal to pass teammates Ryan Cavalieri and Maifield for the win. Cavalieri TQ’d gas truck, but unfortunately was out of the race with mechanical trouble for the final 20 minutes of the 45-minute A-Main. Maifield took second and Team Losi/Trinity’s Adam Drake rolled across the line in third.
