Winning a ROAR national championship takes incredible driving talent, a small bit of luck, and meticulous preparation. Every driver competing at the highest levels of RC racing spends hours preparing his vehicles and making sure everything is perfect before hitting the track - and even still, there can only be one driver in each class who finds a way to win.

Here's a look at the four cars that won Modified-class titles at the Hobbytown USA HobbyPlex:
