Traxxas sponsoring Robby Gordon's 2012 Dakar effort

[Timbuk2]

Sharp eye'd fans may notice the hefty TRAXXAS decal on the bedside of Robby Gordon's Dakar Rally truck (actually it's classified as a car). The Dakar Rally is arguably the most grueling motorsport event on the planet. Robby is currently running 2nd overall in the bright orange #303, just 2'28" behind the leader.

He must be using Velineon power!!!
