LEMIEUX, CHAMPLIN, FOX, AND MANS WIN AT THE 2026 ROAR Carpet Off-Road Nationals

This past weekend in Seabrook, New Hampshire, Maximus R/C Raceway hosted the 2026 ROAR Carpet Off-Road Nationals, bringing together the nation’s top drivers for one of the premier events of the season.

The Modified divisions were led by HOBBYWING-powered performances. Chase Lemieux secured his first ROAR National title, holding off a hard-charging Dakotah in a thrilling final. Lemieux delivered a composed drive under pressure, taking the win with his HOBBYWING-powered XRAY.

Broc Champlin faced adversity in qualifying but delivered when it counted. With victories in A2 and A3, he put together a clutch performance in the mains to secure another ROAR National title with his HOBBYWING-powered Schumacher.

Both drivers relied on the proven combination of the XR10 G3 ESC and V10 G3 Modified motor.

In 2WD Stock Buggy, Dustin Fox delivered a dominant performance. Earning the overall TQ and winning A1 and A3, Fox controlled the event from start to finish. His program featured the all-new V10 G5 17.5 motor paired with the championship-proven XR10 G3X ESC.

The 21.5 division was headlined by Jon Mans, who put on a commanding performance. Mans secured the TQ and went on to win A1 and A2 in convincing fashion. Kenny Lambert joined him on the podium, with both drivers running the V10 G4R Team Edition 21.5 motor and XR10 G3X ESC combination.

Congratulations to all of the winners, and thank you to ROAR and the entire Maximus R/C Raceway team for hosting a well-run and competitive event.
