On this version of the JConcepts Friday5 we speak to Nebraska staff driver, TJ Williams!

1. Now we have to ask everybody this in our interviews, how did you get your begin in RC racing?

My uncle acquired me an authentic ARRMA Granite for Christmas after I was eight and took it to the HobbyTown USA HobbyPlex (The Plex). We came upon that it wasn’t the perfect so then we upgraded to Traxxas Slash 4×4, and shortly after that I acquired a B6.1 and I’ve upgraded from then on.

2. This yr you joined JConcepts as a brand new staff driver. What are a few of your targets for this yr and what do you suppose you possibly can carry or add to the prevailing staff?

One in all my targets is to position within the high 15 in each Professional buggy lessons, and the highest 10 in Stadium Truck within the INS14 series. I feel I’m including a aggressive driver and a devoted racer. I’ve excessive hopes within the RC business in of going far.

3. In the event you needed to guess the place the 1/10 off-road electrical scene is ten years from now, would you count on to see extra dust, carpet, or turf tracks and why?

I hope 1/10 dust would nonetheless be round, however I feel finally it’s going to go to full carpet tracks as a result of to run a mud observe and have the equipment to do it simply takes plenty of work and cash, and with stuff getting costlier not many individuals can afford to run a mud observe. So carpet tracks are the subsequent closest factor and is what most would resort to.

I personally just like the JConcepts Aluminum Camber and Ride Height Gauges as a result of they’re correct and look nice. The storage case for them is good too since you possibly can retailer them collectively and match it into smaller areas.

5. In addition to RC automobiles, what different hobbies are you into?

I prefer to go fishing when I’ve the time to and I like enjoying video games with THE BOYZ and spend time with my girlfriend.
