What a fun weekend in Las Vegas
What a fun weekend in Las Vegas for the Team Associated vintage championships. It took sometime preparing my RC10 Kinwald edition before this event and I was very satisfied with how everything turned out. The first time running my car was during free practice one. It was so much fun to drive but of course I had to do some fine tuning on the setup. Qualifying was super close with 4 minute runs. I would line up P2 going into the double A mains behind Spencer. A1 was intense with battling it out with Spencer and Ryan during the whole race. A2 was exciting for a few laps battling it out with Ryan but that allowed Spencer to put a little gap on us. Overall I would loose out by less than 1 second on the tie breaker. lol you can’t take the competitiveness out of us even during a fun vintage event.
The most exciting part of going to this event was seeing and catching up with all the legends. I get to see some of them frequently but some of them not as much. It was really nice catching up with old friends and getting to hear so many cool stories. I even was privileged to speak on the 🎤 at the banquet to tell some of my stories over the years racing. A big congratulations to everyone involved with putting this event on. It was truly a special experience and look forward to doing it again. 1up Racing |
The Team Associated Vintage Championship has come to an end
The Team Associated Vintage Championship has come to an end. I want to thank everyone who organized this event and all the hard work that went into its preparation. All those who attended this weekend were the true winners, and the lasting impact of the history surrounding this event will remain with us forever. The discussions, camaraderie, wrenching, racing, banquet, and autograph sessions were all incredibly memorable. Driving on the actual track was a lot of fun, but it was also quite challenging to navigate quickly.
I competed in the 1989-1993 class with the JConcepts equipped RC10 1989 Stealth Car and in the 1994-1998 class with the RC10B3. The B3 was pretty easy start to finish, not a lot of tuning, mostly driving and getting accustomed to some 2wd buggy racing. This is the first time running the Cayote speed control on the 1:10th class so there was quite a bit of learning to do, but I made up some time over the course of the event. I only broke 1 part the entire event and it was on the last corner of a TQ run during round 3. One CVA roll pin broke on the final jump and corner before the start / finish line. Other than that, it was an easy weekend on parts. I ended on JConcepts Groovy fronts and Double Dee’s V2 rear all in green compound mounted on Mono wheels. I preferred open cell front inserts and closed cell rears most of the event. Thanks to Larry Genova at Kustom RC Graphics for knocking out a fresh paint scheme on the yet to be released Illuzion body for the B3. The 1989-1993 class was the largest and most difficult. JConcepts handed me a fresh Masami car but with new JCON carbon, aluminum, and steel option parts. We also had a new Protector body for the vehicle, so it was very fresh and required a lot of work to find something a little more drivable. A lot of us racing this car worked together to find a setup throughout the weekend and we were getting closer. A few more events and key items will bring this platform alive but I’ll leave that to the vintage experts. 👍🏻 The setup evolved over the weekend but the results were consistently 2nd or 3rd in qualifying. This vehicle is quite a bit longer, a stiffer platform chassis, and narrow pivot geometry along with no rear toe-in made this car a handful to drive. Ultimately, I got rear hubs from Adam Rayls which helped with rear toe-in. I went with the Rips front tire to smooth the car out. I had some nice and competitive runs but it needed more tuning time that we didn’t have or I didn’t want to endure for a fun weekend of racing with the legends. In the end, I finished 2nd overall in the 1994-1998 class and had some good moments. I ended up 3rd in the 1989-1993 class after some great battles with Spencer Rivkin and Ryan Cavalieri who were running well all weekend. Congrats to Spencer on the double wins and having great A2 mains to lock it up. I don’t want to single out anyone, as I wouldn’t want to exclude anyone. However, it was an incredibly enjoyable weekend. It was a fantastic opportunity to catch up and race alongside my own racing and industry heroes. I hope there are more events in the future that bring everyone together, focus on the fun side of RC, and celebrate the heritage of our hobby. Next event up, AMS 16.0. Tekno RC |

Looking back to last week and the fantastic IFMAR World Championship
Looking back to last week and the fantastic IFMAR World Championship hosted by the Hills Offroad RC Club!
Coming back home with 11th place in 2WD and 5th place in 4WD was obviosuly not what I was looking for going to Australia.. But I was happy how the whole team worked together to turn things around to come back stronger in 4WD after the struggles we had with going in the wrong direction on the 2WD setup. We learn from the mistakes we did and we’ll come back stronger in two years! Congratulations once again to Broc and Marcus for winning their titles, both of you well deserved winners of the event👏🏼 The Hills Offroad RC Club put on what will be remembered as one of the best IFMAR Worlds ever hosted, it was a flawless event and probably the first IFMAR Worlds I have been to where there were no problems at all during the enterity of the race. Hats off to everyone involved! Thanks to the Xray team for the hard work and good times on and off the track. I’m very happy to be a part of Team Xray and I’m sure we will come back stronger. A huge thanks to all my sponsors like always for the continous support🙏🏼 Next up - China at the end of the month👌🏼 XRAY . |
Back home from the IFMAR Worlds in Castle Hills Australia
Back home from the IFMAR Worlds in Castle Hills, NSW, Australia! The Hills Off-road crew hosted one hell of an event for us racers. The hospitality, the environment, and especially the track is something that I really enjoyed! The RC Racemedia crew with Scotty and everyone was great on the broadcast!
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• In 2wd, my #RC10B7D felt awesome to drive after some setup changes throughout the practice sessions and qualifying. The team worked great together and we were all up towards the front; taking 7 out of the 10 spots in the A-Finals! In the main events, I worked my way up to finish 3rd in both A1 and A2. In A3, I was up in 2nd towards the end and I made a small but costly mistake resulting in 4th and finishing 5th overall. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• In 4wd, I made some changes throughout the practice and qualifying sessions; much like 2wd. I had a few decent runs but nothing near what was needed to contend for the A-Final. In my B-Final, I took the win with Kouki and Aydin in tow. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• It’s time to close the chapter on the 2025 IFMAR Worlds and come back in 2 years’ time stronger. Huge congratulations to Broc and Marcus on their deserved championships! Once again, special thanks to the Hills Off-road crew for being a fantastic host. Thank you to our Aussie AE group for their hard work and dedication to dial in our team with information leading up to this event!

All finished up and on my way hom
All finished up and on my way home from the 2025 IFMAR World Championships held in Sydney, Australia 🌎 The Hills crew did a flawless job hosting the race, as it was one of the best events I’ve attended in my career. From the track, to the presentation, to the operation of the facility, everything was top notch so huge shoutout to them. The hard work does not go unnoticed.
My results were up and down. I had great speed for the majority of the 2wd portion of the event. I seeded 4th, had some top 3 runs scattered around, and ultimately ended up 8th overall. I had adequate pace at times for a podium result, just didn’t drive quality enough runs to pull it off. Nonetheless happy to make the A final. 4wd was an uphill battle. I didn’t have much pace to begin with and every run was a grind. I seeded in the C resort and it was tough to find my pace. I made great progress throughout the event and ended up just missing the A finals starting and finishing 3rd in the B for 13th overall in the class. Thanks to the Aussies for all the help with information and setup advice to get us started off on the right foot. We would not have had the overall success as a team that we had without them. Also congratulations to Broc and Marcus on their wins. You guys were on it! The team dynamic as a whole was electric as usual. I always have a great time with the teammates I have. The vibe of the minivan was something else this week. My name is not Susan!😎🔥 It was great seeing my friends from around the globe, as the times spent with them is few and far between. We made the most of it as always ❤️ Huge thanks to all of my sponsors and supporters for allowing me to chase this dream. Hopefully one day we will hoist the trophy at the top step of this event. For now it is back to work💪🏼 ————————————————- |

2025 1/10 Ifmar World Championship is in the books🔥
Nice week of racing not in my main class with friend and people from all over the world👌🏻 2wd portion didn’t went well for me finished 7th in B main with mean P17, definitely not happy about this result, we started BQ and then after some wind and 2 bubbles from my side put me down to 7th…..not happy about that.😐 4wd portion was good, speed was there, car and everything was just on point, starting in P2 and finished P2🥈after some great fight with Marcus Kærup RC Driver, good job to him and Broc Champlin RC for their respective titles. I don’t want to be so long on the post, I just want to give a massive shout to the Hills Off Road RC crew for the hard work, to RC Race Media for the amazing live streaming. I want to thanks everyone involved in my program, Nuno Casal Ribeiro for the help, Sebastien Mure and Clément Boda, whole Team Associated lead from Brent Thielke, Salton Dong from Hobbywing Technology, my family and my girlfriend supporting me from home also with 9h of time difference, I love you all❤️ Thanks to my amazing sponsors for helping me, thanks to Jason Ruona for helping me with all accessories🙏🏻 It’s still a P2 at the worlds, so we don’t need to be disappointed, we don’t race this class much, so being on the podium for 2 consecutive times is good. Now is time to go home after a long trip here, and preparation for the big one start now🙏🏻 #DO94 |
The World Championship is over – and my feelings are mixed
🇦🇺 The World Championship is over – and my feelings are mixed.
First of all, huge credit to the club – they did an absolutely amazing job and created an incredible event. I’d like to start by apologizing to everyone for our result in the 2WD race. Many people probably think the car wasn’t good enough, but the real issue was somewhere completely different. The whole team did a lot of testing before the race – most of our drivers had the chance to practice on this track, and the local team also tested a lot. We had great results from testing, but as always, the World Championship is a whole different story. We relied too much on the test data and stayed within what we knew worked. When we were almost out of ideas and had tried everything, it became clear that the problem was elsewhere. We decided to throw away all the test data and go with a completely different setup – something that had never worked here before. Suddenly, the pace was back. David almost TQ’d in Q5 and completely dominated his final, showing the speed to fight for the top 5 and higher. Unfortunately, the final results didn’t reflect our true potential, and for that, I sincerely apologize. In 4WD, however, we learned from our mistakes and got things right from the start. We had strong pace, and our guys were able to fight for the top positions. In the end, we had three cars in the A final – Dakota 3rd, David 5th, and Chase 10th. I’m incredibly proud of the whole team for never giving up and fighting until the very end. Massive thanks to everyone for the hard work, dedication, and spirit throughout the week. Now I’m already at the airport – managed to rebook my flight home so I can get back to work soon and keep pushing harder than ever. 💪✈️ |
I reflect on the past days of both racing the World Championships
As I am at the Sydney airport getting ready for #wheelsup back to the US, I reflect on the past days of both racing the World Championships and being part of the broadcast team and I want to share some highlights.
1. This was my first time ever being part of a WC as a racer, as we prepared for opening ceremonies. Brent Thielke the US Team Manager was announcing who would be the flag bearer and he gave a heartfelt speech stating the reasons why he chose a certain person for this honor and in the end that someone was me. How surprised and absolutely honored I was to be selected to lead the US Team especially having my family Sarah Ann Due and Chad Due also being there. To many this opportunity may sound trivial or nothing special but to me as a former service member and that RC has been everything in my and my families life for over 30 years, the honor of carrying our nations flag and lead our team was an incredible honor and privilege. Thank you BT for an unforgettable moment I will cherish forever. 2. Watching my daughter race at a WC. Sarahs childhood was surrounded with RC whether she wanted it or not. She learned to love RC and became very good at it. Watching her work so hard this week having fun and together sharing our love for the hobby was a priceless moment in my life. 3. Being part of the RC Race Media. Tony Firth and Matt Seckold built up a dream team with the goal of producing the greatest coverage of a WC ever. Each person on the team with a different skill and together, we gave the RC Industry coverage like it has never seen. Thank you for asking me to be on the team and for being part of a broadcast that will be watched for decades! This team also includes you Chris Stanley 😝 4. Drivers introductions 4wd. For my Asian Buggy Championships, our team has come up with a format for introductions that give the A finalist a moment in the spotlight and builds up a great vibe with spectators before the finals. We incorporated this into our WC broadcast and I feel it elevated the event and really took it to a new level. We are sorry we could not do it for 2nd but time in the time schedule did not allow for us to do it. 5. Friendships and fans. I am very blessed to be able to do what I do and through my career, I have had the opportunity to meet so many fellow RC enthusiasts from around the globe that share the love of the hobby. At events like this, I get to reconnect with many of them but also get the chance to meet many people who have followed me online or have been fans of my commentary This is also a big highlight of any event I can be part of. 6. From Wisconsin Cheesehead to Worlds Finalist. This week I watched 2 young men who grew up learning RC in Wisconsin, perfect their craft and become top 10 racers in the World. I am so proud of Cole Tollard and Chase Lemieux it is difficult for me to express how proud I am of both of you. Well done! 7. Brands. I am very fortunate to be able to travel the World and be part of the RC Industry. I want to sincerely thank the brands that allow me to represent them in my off-road racing endeavors. Team Associated, Reedy Power, Avid Racing Concepts LLC , Sanwa Radios, 1up Racing, Arrowmax RC, StickitONE , PaintZilla : Custom R/C Paint By SarahAnn, Trackside Hobbies & Raceway It was an unforgettable experience on so many levels and as I reflect on this event the memories I made with my family and friends will be with me forever. |
