<span style=”color: #000000″><strong>About Me:</strong></span>
<span style=”color: #000000″>RC has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was born in Boise, ID and my Dad, Jim “The Prez” Campbell could see the Capital Dirt Burners RC track from the hospital window. Anything with a transmitter has always been interesting to me and I got my first kit, a Team Associated T3 Team Stadium Truck when I was just getting into racing. Since then, I have always been into some form of RC from dirt track offroad to touring cars to planes and EDF Jets, boats, tanks, construction equipment and beyond. Pretty much if there is an RC version of it, I’ve probably had it at some point.</span>

<span style=”color: #000000″>My family purchased and moved Tekin from California to Idaho in 2004 and I have worked for the company full time since 2007. I love my job and it really doesn’t feel like a job as it is everything I have loved to do from RC to video editing to now filling our Team Manager position. I have my hands in Marketing and run our social media outlets, I am involved heavily in product development and testing, I built and manage our website and online store and I package product when help is needed in Production. There is no one hat that covers what I do around here, it would be too big and make my neck hurt.</span>

Pro Driver

Location:
Hertfordshire, UNITED KINGDOM

About Me:
I started racing when I was 8 years old with my dad. It wasn’t long before I was hooked with this fantastic sport. I stated at club meetings but soon started competing on the National stage. It wasn’t long before I started beating my dad and winning big races. Dad is now an important part of my racing pit crew.

Over the years I’ve been lucky to race all over the world. One of the nicest aspects of RC is the people. I love meeting new and fantastic racers, pit crew along the way, many of which I would regard as my friends.

Ryan Lutz

Pro Driver

Location:
Medina, OH USA

About Me:
My dad has owned a small shop in Ohio my whole life and I have always been around R/C cars. Born and raised in Medina Ohio I left in 2006 to begin working for Kyosho as their team manager in Southern California. Since then I have become sort of a journeyman through multiple chassis manufacturers over the past 15 years. Tekin however has been my power plant of choice on the electric side since 2009. Through those years I have also been married and now have 4 wonderful children and moved back to Medina, Ohio in late 2015.

Some of my favorite things to do in R/C are to create onboard GoPro video’s of my cars after events to really showcase the speed these cars go and to just give a new perspective to everyone watching. I am proud to be with Tekin year after year and am never at a loss of power in my electric rides as I compete against the top guys in the world which always keeps my competitive juices flowing!
