Jared Randall Tebo (born February 22, 1987) is an American radio-controlled car racer from Raymore, Missouri who specializes in off-road racing driving for Mayako.
[1] A child motocross racer, he took up radio-controlled racing at the age of 12 as an alternative to regular hospital visits due to motorcycle-related injuries.
[3] Wanting to compete in racing and attracted to the sound of glow plug engines, Tebo took up radio-controlled racing—he considered it to be "MX without the hospital visits.
As a result, his performance in 1/8 off-road dwindled while he helped develop O’Donnell's Z01B buggy, but he managed to dominate the qualifying sessions at the 2008 ROAR Nationals, though he lacked he enjoyed with Thunder Tiger and Kyosho.
Subsequently, he became the first driver to win both buggy and truck at the ROAR Fuel Off-Road Nationals in 2010 and helped Kyosho to become a major championship contender[6] As a result of his success, Tebo has a Mini-Z miniature model based on his racing color scheme.
