Alright guys and dolls.. Here is one last update for the SC Open House this Saturday.. If you did not make it in please come down and we will take your entry the day of the event..

Looking forward to seeing everyone out there!

A word from Pro-Line’s G-man fresh from the track.. Looking forward to the Open House Saturday Jan 14th!

And here is a new version of the entry list..

The Hobby Plex held the 2012 Novak Offroad race January 7-8.  Around 190 entries entered for the event.  The air temps and track temps varied greatly throughout the day from 30 degrees F to 50 Degrees F.  I competed in 17.5 2wd SCT, 17.5 Stadium Truck and 17.5 2wd Buggy. 

The 17.5 Buggy class had the most competition at 36 entries for the Event.  Saturday Qualifying Rounds 1 & 2 the track was warm and had great traction.  I ran M4 Suburbs and P-L Closed Cell Foam on all my vehicles and they were planted to the track !  When Rd 3 came around the sun was down and the air temp dropped to the low 30’s and the track became slick.  I stuck with the M4 Suburbs on SCT but went to an “Old Syle” M3 Square Fuzzie on Stadium Truck and the “New” M4 Square Fuzzie on the Buggy!  The Square Fuzzie’s really let me push my car on the slick track with a very stable in control feeling!  After Qualifying was over I was sitting TQ for 17.5 SCT and 17.5 Stadium Truck with a 3^rd place in 17.5 2wd Buggy.  The early start for the Mains on Sunday had low temps and I stuck with my super consistent M4 Square Fuzzie’s for the Buggy and M3 for Truck.  After all the mains were finished up I swept   1^st place in 17.5 SCT, 17.5 Stadium Truck and 17.5 2wd Buggy running Pro-Line tires and Closed Cell Foam inserts!   

Welcome back the Square Fuzzie tire from the past with the same great traction with awesome tire wear!    

Check out the ”totally tentacles” write up and shout out that our friends over at BigSquid RC posted up.

Some areas of the world are nice and sunny 12 months out of the year. Other places, like where the BSRC bash crew lives, the weather can get downright awful. After two straight weeks of rain and snow Cubby got tired of waiting for the off road tracks to dry up so he asked me to put the best street tires I could find on our Helion Dominus. After all, the parking lot right outside the BigSquid offices was bone dry, so why burn up perfectly good dirt tires?

My choice for best street shoes for any short course truck is very easy- Pro Line’s Street Fighters (about $20 a pair). The Street Fighters give excellent traction, look great, and last a long time.

The factory rims on the Dominus use the standard 12 mm hexes, but are a slightly different off-set than anything else on the market. Cubby would never allow stock rims, so I was ordered to find the best after-market rims available. After looking at virtually every rim on the market, I mounted the Street Fighters up to Pro Line Split Six bead-loc wheels (also about $20 a pair). These are the same offset as Slash 4×4 rims, and while they make your truck slightly wider than the stock Helion rims, they don’t cause any clearance problems and look great on the Dominus. An added bonus from the Pro Line bead-loc rims is not having to glue tires on, you simply tighten up the bead-locs and you are ready to rock.
