Clifton Bradley Lett (born September 18, 1957) is an American retired radio-controlled racer and former president of Associated Electrics, where he began his R/C career in 1985. A former motocross mechanic for Yamaha (particularly for Ricky Johnson), he won seven ROAR National Championships, three NORRCA National Championships and the 1991 IFMAR World Championship[1] and was one of the foremost drivers of the 1980s. Lett, known as "the Buggymaster",[2] helped refine the Associated RC10 and other models in the range.[1] He was the first driver to exceed 100 miles per hour (160 km/h) with a radio-controlled car, recorded by Guinness World Records at 111 miles per hour (179 km/h) in 2001.
