Tlr at the eos
 

I just wondered why there never seems any tlr cars at the eos meetings.
I maybe wrong about this but you never seem to see them.

Maybe they don't care about europe

In the early days of EOS, TLR/Horizon Hobby were a main event sponsor, this was prior to "EOS carpet", although I don't think any TLR drivers took a win, though they did fly over some US drivers. Jorn with his Durango's seemed to dominate then.

The last serious TLR drivers I saw running at EOS were Ellis Stafford and Chris Delves with the 3.0 in Jan 2016 at Muelheim Kaerlich: http://eos.redrc.net/2016/01/chassis...llis-stafford/

Short/polite answer is they are now not bothered or can't afford to compete on the European stage with the big guys: Schumacher, Xray AE and Yokomo.
I don't think they have any pro level drivers in Europe, else the would be there?

If you go here: http://eos.redrc.net/gallery/ and scroll down, you can see the galleries of the early events.

Your probably right there. Shame really.

They have pro level drivers in Europe; (Reno Savoya is the main)
I'm more thinking of a commercial/economical choice from TLR
1/10th scale doesn't seems to be their priority in Europe
1/8th is pretty popular in many european championship and TLR is present in all of them

EOS level is pretty high, the money and time investments must be pretty high for a podium
I suppose it's discouraging some teams and drivers, in regard of the possible benefits.

Fair enough, He's mostly 1/8th though.
1/10th doesn't seem a priority, yes. Shame really, but reflected in sales no doubt.

be interesting to see how they would get on if they attended. I am sure there cars would go well

Could it be down to the unique offsets used on their cars not being compatible with the standard handout Schumacher wheels? Quite possibly ;)

No, its simply down to the fact that the no.1 TLR UK driver Richard Thorne is unable to get time off work to dominate them. :rolleyes:

Myself and two friends went to Poland Round 1 this year with our TLR’s and they let us use tLR Front Rims and glue the spec tyres on.

The Schumacher rears fitted

I’d phone in sick and go but they sabotaged me with the whole offset issue :thumbdown:

Problem solved, your fellow TLR drivers have confirmed that EOS allowed them to run Losi front wheels :thumbsup: I look forward to seeing you ask Orlowski to move out the way at the next EOS round.

Why is Preddy reffing? 😝

Is that's no.1 TLR UK driver Ritchie Thorne who qualified behind two other TLR's at the weekend?

Meow :lol:

:o and to think I cheered you on when Bish smashed you :p

Don’t worry Ritchie 3 TLR cars in the main 4,5&6 top AE 10th :p:p

Do you even know who Ritchie is?

The man can walk on water and has hair reminiscent of something from Dragonball Z. He is a God in his own right.

He ALLOWED two TLR cars to out qualify him on Sunday out of sympathy for them. Such is the legend that is Ritchie Thorn.

:lol:
