Ryan Maifield was instantly successful after switching to Team Losi Racing in July 2014, but the multi-time National Champion has started off the 2015 season on an absolute tear - capturing the Reedy Race of Champions title he had wanted for so long, finishing third in Pro Truck on Saturday night, and then pulling off an incredible win in Pro Buggy in spectacular fashion to wrap up The Dirt Nitro Challenge. The transition to running almost entirely new gear has been absolutely remarkable, no doubt a function of incredible talent and meticulous preparation. Here’s a look at the former Dirt Nitro Challenge champion’s buggy that he drove to the top step of the podium.
