2010 ROAR Off Road Nationals – TQ Wins!!!!!!!!!

2010 ROAR Off Road Nationals – TQ Wins!!!!!!!!!

By TQ Racing – Nov 11Posted in: News, Race Report

TQ Racing factory driver Kenny Ferris wins the 2010 ROAR 2wd Stock National Championships with his SX10 2w! TQ Racing also debuts the new SX10 SC Short Course Truck with team driver Travis Amezcua almost winning the 2wd Open Short Course National Championship – finishing a very close second after winning the second A Main. Mike Ziolkowski also used the SX10 SC to finish second overall and win the third A Main in the 2wd Stock Short Course class.

Kenny started the week strong by winning three of four qualifying round to take the Top Qualifying position for the event.  He followed that up by winning the first two A Mains to clinch his first National Championship – and TQ Racing’s first National Championship. Dave Neustrom also made the 2wd Stock A Main finishing 8th overall with his SX10 2w  Kenny’s TQ SX10 2w was using Tekin Electronics, motors and batteries, as well as, B-Fast diff parts. He also used TQ Big Bore shocks to soak up the bumps as the track started to break up.

Travis’ brand new SX10 SC was on rails all weekend, qualifying 4th overall – but it was the main events where the truck showed its true metal. In the first A Main he finished second.  He won the second A main with a pass leading to the final corner.  And in the third A Main, he came from being over 7 seconds behind to challenge for the win on the final lap only to come up a little short.  Not a bad debut for the brand new SX10 SC. Travis also made the A Main in 2wd Open with his SX102w finishing 10th after the triple A Mains.

One of TQ’s newest drivers Cory Crosley was the TQ and Winner of the Stock SC class, unfortunately, while Cory helped develop and set up SX10 SC’s with the team we did not have one for him to use at the event.  Cory did turn  faster laps in practice with a SX10SC than he used in the event.  Another TQ driver Ray Kindstrom made the podium in the 4wd SC class – another project we  have to look into.

We would like to thank all the team drivers and customers who have helped to support us to continue to develop and grow this product line. Special thanks to Team Manager John LoGiudice for all his hard work, making sure all the cars were in their best condition, on the grid, through tech and handling all the media requests at the event!!

SX8 Evo 1/8 Scale Nitro Buggy

SX8 Evo 1/8 Scale Nitro Buggy

By TQ Racing – Jan 1Posted in: 1/8th Scale

For 2011, TQ Race Products looks to continue on the Championship winning growth it saw last year in 1/10 racing, but going back to it’s root.  TQ’s first car was a 1/8 scale nitro buggy and new for 2011, we will introduce both a nitro and electric version of the TQ SX8 Evo chassis.

The SX8 Evo cars will both feature 7075 aluminum shock towers and chassis, a low friction drive train featuring spiral cut gears, big bores shocks, front and rear roll bars, clear lexan bodies with high down force rear wings.

Both the nitro and electric versions will share suspension arms, shock towers, bulkheads, diff cases and shocks.  Keeping the main chassis plate as the biggest difference between the two cars gives the racer an advantage of only having to carry a few spares that will work with both versions.

The design concept was to keep the car as lightweight as possible yet strong enough to take what ever terrain it is placed on with enough adjustability to make it fast for any skill level. The “Make if Fast and Make it Affordable” motto from the 1/10 side has been carried to the 1/8 side.

TQ Big Bore Shocks for SC and ST Trucks

Give your SX10 SC or SC10 T a super plush ride on these new big bore shocks with dual springs!  After using big bore shocks at such events at the 2010 ROAR Nationals and Short Course Showdown Tour – we developed big bore shocks with the correct length needed for truck use.

The dual springs will allow for a soft enough setting to handle the rough stuff, but the strength needed to keep the proper ride height the suspension needs.

These shocks are available for order now and will fit only TQ vehicles but most brands of SC and Stadium trucks on the market – if you want your truck to handle what ever the track can throw at you – now you can get that extra advantage!

TU0266 BigBore Truck Shocks – Rear – $65.99 (retail)

The electric version has been desgined to optimize the many different battery configurations used currently by 1/8 electric races.  Giving every driver the best weight distribuation available for easier handling and faster lap times.  The motor as also been placed as far forward as possible to help balance chassis performance and give superior handling.
