Back on our home track after an awesome weekend away at the Hawkes Bay Tamiya Mini 4WD Club! 🏁🔥 Thanks guys for the warm welcome!

Had such a great time racing with the crew there, super fun vibes and some seriously competitive runs.

Stoked to come away with a B-MAX 1st to 3rd podium finish and even managed to take out the Pro Class Champion title! 🏆💪 Definitely a trip to remember.

Now it’s time to bring that momentum back home and keep the wheels spinning. 🏎️💨
