My dad remembers racing against you and all the big names back in the day in 1/10 scale gas truck. He had a Mugen MST-1 that we recently sold :/ I wish 1/10 truck was still popular :(

My first 1/10th truck was the Matt Francis, and was light and very responsive. Then went to a Mugen MST-1 Nitro truck. The Mugen wasn't as fast as the Losi or Associated trucks, but was very durable and held its own especially with the Nova .12. Wicked fast truck!

I had two xxx-nt one with the stock mach .15 and one with all the goodies and a Picco .15 on a bump box. I bought the AD 1 and it was like I had a totally different truck. I think you used different shocks and springs and great electronics. The servos may have been the biggest difference. My Picco truck would pull the AD on straights but once the turning and jumping started it was awesome

I remember being starstruck when I saw you in person at the 2007 Manufacturers Cup in Idaho. I had driven down from Alberta Canada and that was my first time racing in the US. I’ve been to probably 30 more races where pro drivers like yourself were in attendance since then; I remember you were turn marshaling a sportsman truggy race at DNC (may have been 2013 or so) and one of them slammed into your ankle. Not a funny moment by any means but you handled it in stride (the funny part was watching you yell out the f-word when it happened, but hey, truggies to the ankle are swear-worthy!)
