We’d like to thank Ellwood Group for their generous support of our team through the nitriding of our planetary gears.

Thank you Ellwood!

Huge shoutout to one of our longtime sponsors, !

Aerotech has been a total game-changer this season, providing critical components that keep us on track, including our wheel hubs, rocker mounts, brake rotor pins and suspension shims.

Beyond the hardware, they opened their doors to us for an incredible facility tour and offered invaluable mentorship year long. A special thanks to VP of Manufacturing Anthony Fazzini for his hands-on expertise and the continued support from within the Aerotech team.

From rapid turnarounds to elite craftsmanship, Aerotech sets the bar. Thank you for helping us bring our designs to life!
