PROTEK RC ADDS COLE TOLLARD TO PRO TEAM ROSTER
Only 22 Years of Age, Tollard Already is a ROAR Champ with 8 Years Pro Experience
AMain Hobbies is pleased to announce the signing of Cole Tollard to a contract as a member of its ProTek RC Pro Race Team. Despite being just 22 years of age, Tollard brings a wealth of pro level RC experience in both 1:10 and 1:8 off-road racing and is a highly respected competitor in the pits and on the track.
Tollard was the 2021 ROAR Modified Stadium Truck Champion and finished third at that same ROAR championship in 2wd Modified Buggy at The Track in Maryland. The Omro, Wisconsin native also was the TQ and winner of both 2wd Mod Buggy and 4wd Mod Buggy at the 2018 Team Associated Off-Road Championships.
A strong 1:8 racer as well, Tollard finished 17th as a member of the United States contingent at the 2018 IFMAR 1:8 Off-Road World Championships in Perth, Australia. He also was fifth amongst a stacked field at the 2021 ROAR 1:8 Fuel Championships in Nitro Buggy and this past season finished second behind David Ronnefalk at the RCGP Race 1 event in South Carolina.
“Cole Tollard is a terrific addition to our ProTek RC Pro Team,” states ProTek RC Proprietary Product Specialist and Team Manager Chad Bradley. “Cole is a young talent at just 22 years of age, but he already has a wealth of racing experience at the highest levels. He is well respected amongst his racing peers and will be a great representative of our ProTek RC product line.”
Tollard has moved to TLR this season and will run the ProTek RC Samurai RM engine as well as ProTek RC batteries and servos in his race program and utilize the vast line of ProTek RC tools and accessories. He also will be dialing in his program with Hobbywing electronics, JConcepts tires and bodies, and a Sanwa transmitter.
“I am so excited to join the ProTek RC team. I have heard so many great things about the ProTek RC product line, and can’t wait to incorporate the ProTek RC engines, servos, batteries, tools, and accessories into my racing program. I want to thank everyone at AMain Hobbies for this opportunity and am really looking forward to this 2023 season,” stated Tollard, who boasts Trackside Hobbies in Brookfield, WI and Dirt Heaven Hobby & Raceway in Green Bay, WI as his home tracks.
