The car was very planted, and easy to drive. In Q1, I had a perfect run, and would get the first round TQ. In Q2, Mora pressed me hard for the first 5 minutes of the 7 minute qualifier, but I ran mistake free. I just missed my first round TQ, but would start first in the 10 minute A Main.<\/p>\n<p>I got a great start in the Main, and pulled out to an early lead over the field. My Kyosho MP9e TKI, with the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.teamtekin.com\/rx8.html\">Tekin RX8 Gen2 and Redline T8 Gen2 1900<\/a><\/strong> motor was fantastic. The AKA GridIron II tires on DE Racing SpeedLine Plus wheels were amazing. I ran the entire 10 minute Main mistake free, and finished on top of the podium.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.teamtekin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/ebuggy_final.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2146\" src=\"http:\/\/www.teamtekin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/ebuggy_final.jpg\" alt=\"ebuggy_final\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teamtekin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/ebuggy_final.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.teamtekin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/ebuggy_final-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.teamtekin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/ebuggy_final-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.teamtekin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/ebuggy_final-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1\/8 Scale E-Buggy Results:<\/p>\n<p>1.
