Back home from the IFMAR Worlds in Castle Hills Australia
Back home from the IFMAR Worlds in Castle Hills, NSW, Australia! The Hills Off-road crew hosted one hell of an event for us racers. The hospitality, the environment, and especially the track is something that I really enjoyed! The RC Racemedia crew with Scotty and everyone was great on the broadcast!
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• In 2wd, my #RC10B7D felt awesome to drive after some setup changes throughout the practice sessions and qualifying. The team worked great together and we were all up towards the front; taking 7 out of the 10 spots in the A-Finals! In the main events, I worked my way up to finish 3rd in both A1 and A2. In A3, I was up in 2nd towards the end and I made a small but costly mistake resulting in 4th and finishing 5th overall. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• In 4wd, I made some changes throughout the practice and qualifying sessions; much like 2wd. I had a few decent runs but nothing near what was needed to contend for the A-Final. In my B-Final, I took the win with Kouki and Aydin in tow. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• It’s time to close the chapter on the 2025 IFMAR Worlds and come back in 2 years’ time stronger. Huge congratulations to Broc and Marcus on their deserved championships! Once again, special thanks to the Hills Off-road crew for being a fantastic host. Thank you to our Aussie AE group for their hard work and dedication to dial in our team with information leading up to this event! Thanks to my Dad and sponsors for their help and support! ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Next up, the Team Associated Vintage race in Las Vegas, NV 🎲 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Team Associated Hobbywing JConcepts Inc REDS RACING AMain Hobbies ProTek RC Futaba USA Savox USA VP Racing Fuels StickitONE 📸 : JConcepts media |
All finished up and on my way hom
All finished up and on my way home from the 2025 IFMAR World Championships held in Sydney, Australia 🌎 The Hills crew did a flawless job hosting the race, as it was one of the best events I’ve attended in my career. From the track, to the presentation, to the operation of the facility, everything was top notch so huge shoutout to them. The hard work does not go unnoticed.
My results were up and down. I had great speed for the majority of the 2wd portion of the event. I seeded 4th, had some top 3 runs scattered around, and ultimately ended up 8th overall. I had adequate pace at times for a podium result, just didn’t drive quality enough runs to pull it off. Nonetheless happy to make the A final. 4wd was an uphill battle. I didn’t have much pace to begin with and every run was a grind. I seeded in the C resort and it was tough to find my pace. I made great progress throughout the event and ended up just missing the A finals starting and finishing 3rd in the B for 13th overall in the class. Thanks to the Aussies for all the help with information and setup advice to get us started off on the right foot. We would not have had the overall success as a team that we had without them. Also congratulations to Broc and Marcus on their wins. You guys were on it! The team dynamic as a whole was electric as usual. I always have a great time with the teammates I have. The vibe of the minivan was something else this week. My name is not Susan!😎🔥 It was great seeing my friends from around the globe, as the times spent with them is few and far between. We made the most of it as always ❤️ Huge thanks to all of my sponsors and supporters for allowing me to chase this dream. Hopefully one day we will hoist the trophy at the top step of this event. For now it is back to work💪🏼 ————————————————- |
2025 1/10 Ifmar World Championship is in the books🔥
2025 1/10 Ifmar World Championship is in the books🔥
Nice week of racing not in my main class with friend and people from all over the world👌🏻 2wd portion didn’t went well for me finished 7th in B main with mean P17, definitely not happy about this result, we started BQ and then after some wind and 2 bubbles from my side put me down to 7th…..not happy about that.😐 4wd portion was good, speed was there, car and everything was just on point, starting in P2 and finished P2🥈after some great fight with Marcus Kærup RC Driver, good job to him and Broc Champlin RC for their respective titles. I don’t want to be so long on the post, I just want to give a massive shout to the Hills Off Road RC crew for the hard work, to RC Race Media for the amazing live streaming. I want to thanks everyone involved in my program, Nuno Casal Ribeiro for the help, Sebastien Mure and Clément Boda, whole Team Associated lead from Brent Thielke, Salton Dong from Hobbywing Technology, my family and my girlfriend supporting me from home also with 9h of time difference, I love you all❤️ Thanks to my amazing sponsors for helping me, thanks to Jason Ruona for helping me with all accessories🙏🏻 It’s still a P2 at the worlds, so we don’t need to be disappointed, we don’t race this class much, so being on the podium for 2 consecutive times is good. Now is time to go home after a long trip here, and preparation for the big one start now🙏🏻 #DO94 |
The World Championship is over – and my feelings are mixed
🇦🇺 The World Championship is over – and my feelings are mixed.
First of all, huge credit to the club – they did an absolutely amazing job and created an incredible event. I’d like to start by apologizing to everyone for our result in the 2WD race. Many people probably think the car wasn’t good enough, but the real issue was somewhere completely different. The whole team did a lot of testing before the race – most of our drivers had the chance to practice on this track, and the local team also tested a lot. We had great results from testing, but as always, the World Championship is a whole different story. We relied too much on the test data and stayed within what we knew worked. When we were almost out of ideas and had tried everything, it became clear that the problem was elsewhere. We decided to throw away all the test data and go with a completely different setup – something that had never worked here before. Suddenly, the pace was back. David almost TQ’d in Q5 and completely dominated his final, showing the speed to fight for the top 5 and higher. Unfortunately, the final results didn’t reflect our true potential, and for that, I sincerely apologize. In 4WD, however, we learned from our mistakes and got things right from the start. We had strong pace, and our guys were able to fight for the top positions. In the end, we had three cars in the A final – Dakota 3rd, David 5th, and Chase 10th. I’m incredibly proud of the whole team for never giving up and fighting until the very end. Massive thanks to everyone for the hard work, dedication, and spirit throughout the week. Now I’m already at the airport – managed to rebook my flight home so I can get back to work soon and keep pushing harder than ever. 💪✈️ |
I reflect on the past days of both racing the World Championships
As I am at the Sydney airport getting ready for #wheelsup back to the US, I reflect on the past days of both racing the World Championships and being part of the broadcast team and I want to share some highlights.
1. This was my first time ever being part of a WC as a racer, as we prepared for opening ceremonies. Brent Thielke the US Team Manager was announcing who would be the flag bearer and he gave a heartfelt speech stating the reasons why he chose a certain person for this honor and in the end that someone was me. How surprised and absolutely honored I was to be selected to lead the US Team especially having my family Sarah Ann Due and Chad Due also being there. To many this opportunity may sound trivial or nothing special but to me as a former service member and that RC has been everything in my and my families life for over 30 years, the honor of carrying our nations flag and lead our team was an incredible honor and privilege. Thank you BT for an unforgettable moment I will cherish forever. 2. Watching my daughter race at a WC. Sarahs childhood was surrounded with RC whether she wanted it or not. She learned to love RC and became very good at it. Watching her work so hard this week having fun and together sharing our love for the hobby was a priceless moment in my life. 3. Being part of the RC Race Media. Tony Firth and Matt Seckold built up a dream team with the goal of producing the greatest coverage of a WC ever. Each person on the team with a different skill and together, we gave the RC Industry coverage like it has never seen. Thank you for asking me to be on the team and for being part of a broadcast that will be watched for decades! This team also includes you Chris Stanley 😝 4. Drivers introductions 4wd. For my Asian Buggy Championships, our team has come up with a format for introductions that give the A finalist a moment in the spotlight and builds up a great vibe with spectators before the finals. We incorporated this into our WC broadcast and I feel it elevated the event and really took it to a new level. We are sorry we could not do it for 2nd but time in the time schedule did not allow for us to do it. 5. Friendships and fans. I am very blessed to be able to do what I do and through my career, I have had the opportunity to meet so many fellow RC enthusiasts from around the globe that share the love of the hobby. At events like this, I get to reconnect with many of them but also get the chance to meet many people who have followed me online or have been fans of my commentary This is also a big highlight of any event I can be part of. 6. From Wisconsin Cheesehead to Worlds Finalist. This week I watched 2 young men who grew up learning RC in Wisconsin, perfect their craft and become top 10 racers in the World. I am so proud of Cole Tollard and Chase Lemieux it is difficult for me to express how proud I am of both of you. Well done! 7. Brands. I am very fortunate to be able to travel the World and be part of the RC Industry. I want to sincerely thank the brands that allow me to represent them in my off-road racing endeavors. Team Associated, Reedy Power, Avid Racing Concepts LLC , Sanwa Radios, 1up Racing, Arrowmax RC, StickitONE , PaintZilla : Custom R/C Paint By SarahAnn, Trackside Hobbies & Raceway It was an unforgettable experience on so many levels and as I reflect on this event the memories I made with my family and friends will be with me forever. |

The dust has settled from a long 2 weeks of racing
The dust has settled from a long 2 weeks of racing for the IFMAR Worlds. Hanging out a couple more days waiting for the banquet and then get to head home to the family. The whole crew put on an amazing event and it was very organized. Track was fun and proved challenging the whole time with changing track conditions. The results weren’t what I wanted but will keep working hard and start the preparation now for the NB worlds next year in Texas. Ended up 3rd overall in the 4wd class.
Thanks to Michael Stone for getting me through tech the whole week, Martin Bayer for the setup help, and everyone else for all the support. #Xray #RCAmerica #Cayote #JConcepts #NitroPro #GensAce #flysky #Hudy #Amainhobbies #BeachRC #EliteRCProductions #StickitOne #BradleyFinelineDesigns #UltimateRC #Nitrolux #DRC #MotoWhips |

Double P7 finishes at the 1/10 buggy IFMAR World Championships
Double P7 finishes at the 1/10 buggy IFMAR World Championships in Sydney, Australia. I had great power delivery all week debuting the Elceram RC G2 ESC for 1/10 fitted in my Schumacher R/C Racing CAT PB and Cougar LD3. I was using Team Cayote 4600 and 5000 shorty batteries, Power HD GTS-3 servos, JConcepts Inc aero package and accessories, Toolkitrc M8D charger and MR33 Racing tools. I never quite found the confidence and rhythm around the Hills Off Road RC track this week. I was close at times fighting for top positions in several rounds, but always missed a little pace. Feeling very defeated at the minute, as we all know the Schumacher cars were brilliant this week with the most cars in the A-main in 4WD, but I was not able to deliver for the first time in a very long time at such a big event. I am going to need a reset after this one, work on my package and find out what went wrong this week. Thank you to my whole team and team mates for the hard work together. Thank you to everyone who supports me. I promise I will be back.

WORLD CHAMPIONS! 🍾🏁🏆
WORLD CHAMPIONS! 🍾🏁🏆
What started off as just a dream became a reality here in Australia 🇦🇺 I can’t even describe the emotions that run through me at the moment. You work your whole life to just have a chance to battle for one of these trophies. Let alone take it home. As a kid, I remember looking up to people such as Ryan, Ryan, and Jared. I’ve had the chance to compete with guys like Spencer, Bruno, Davide, and so many more great talents. To be listed in the same category as them is something remarkable. Something I’m very proud of. For the sacrifices from my father, step mother, brother, my grandma, my whole family, my friends, and the people who have been apart of this journey to the pinnacle of RC racing, THANK YOU! I always said I’d dedicate this first World Championship to my late mother. Mom, thank you and I hope your heart is full watching down on this wild journey. We love you. We miss you. To the Schumacher Family, Robin, Tris, Muz, and my teammates, cheers! Clu Connors, his family and the entirety of Whitz Racing Products, thank you. Hobbywing, Charlie, D, Matty, Salton and the rest of the team, thank you. Jason, Allison and Paul over at JConcepts, thank you. Betty and the whole GensACE crew, thank you. To each person at PowerHD, thank you. Erik Everett at EZ Customs and newly, Zac Rose at Nine2Zero Designs, thank you. And to the Eatons Family @ Eatons IRCR for providing my current stomping grounds, thank you. It’s nothing less than a group effort and each person deserves this, not just me! For many, you may know the story, and this is just another chapter. I couldn’t be more honored to share this great gift with the other legends before me and I’m honored to bring the trophy home to the USA 🇺🇸 The celebrating will wait a few days as we have today to prepare for the next event, 4wd. I’m ready to give it hell and see where we end up. I still want more, that’ll never change. Let’s go! |
