DID TESSMANS HB REALLY WIN THE DNC
OK MY QUESTION TO U PROFFESIONALS OUT THERE. I've read several articles in cluding neo buggy that ty tessmans hb was heavily modified. My question to u guys is if your going to modify a machine that much is it still recognized as that companies vehicle? Im sure some of yall was there was it that modified i totally get titanium parts to keep from breaking. Should a vehicle be allowed that has been that heavily modified. But i guess if the rules allow it why not.

I wouldn't claim that the car was highly modified regardless of where you read it. Several cars at the event were testing newer parts as most companies do this to learn and grow.
Tessman was using D8 parts along with the older Lightning buggy parts. Some HB drivers have been doing this for a little while now. It's actually something that anyone can do if they want.
I call it smart thinking and congrats to HB and the drivers.

I say yes.
Most of the mods on his car were all Hot Bodies mods anyway -- parts from the Lightning series. But there aren't any rules that say that you can't deviate from the car's stock form in large races. If that were the case, there would be alot of aftermarket companies out of business! People love to modify, customize, and continually optimize their buggies.
You'll often see team drivers running mods on their cars -- whether it's a set-up mod that the stock parts wouldn't allow, parts from a different car, prototype parts, or even an entire prototype buggy.

All I know the kid can drive, he put on a good show in truggy pacing Mayfield in the start then Mayfield caught that haybail. Then it was all Tessman, I don't think the truggy is that modified from the og version. His buggy was so badass, it turned so good, his landings off jumps were right on and the buggy did not flat land and pancake weird so his shock combo was all there. OS engine was perfect even his pops drop in a quick tune right before the start just to give it a little more umph!! I put him to win the truggy but in buggy I thought Mayfield was going to take it. Mad respect for that kid and his rides he's going to make the Tessman-8ight version a hot seller.

From RCInsider --
"Late Friday night at the 2012 Dirt Nitro Challenge we found out through Douglas Phend Dakotah’s father, that the media couldn’t take pictures of the TLR 1:8 nitro buggies… During the day we weren’t in the TLR pits snooping and didn’t get the “No Photo Memo”!
While we were talking with Dakotah’s dad, he said he didn’t tune or wrench on the Dakotah’s car at all for Rnd #3′s TQ run…! We were told that night 6 TLR buggies had the same parts Dakotah was testing! So what is under that body that is so special, that the media isn’t allowed to take pictures of….? Dakotah’s car was dialed on Friday… The question is will Dakotah be running it in tonights main?"
