Hey everyone! Matt Wallace reporting (almost live) from the REEDY Race of Champions where Ryan Cavalieri is in the lead after 2 rounds, winning both his heats!

Check out the pic’s! More to come!

Be sure to check out our earlier post also.

My servo winch is mounted under the rear because the battery has been relocated under the hood of the Wraith. The winch line runs through a bicycle cable housing to my homemade fairlead in the front. To add a true since of scale to the Wraith, I installed some of Pro-Line’s new scale accessories (Coming Soon): duel optima batteries, inverter & fire extinguisher (note green & red dial).

This is Matt Wallace reporting (almost LIVE) from the 2012 REEDY race of Champions. Today is day one of controlled practice for everyone.

The track is fast flowing and fun with a tricky mogul section. Everyone out here is just trying to dial in their cars today for qualifying tomorrow.

Pro-Line’s Daniel Adams and I will be on hand during the entire event so be sure to stop by and say hello!

More post’s to come.. So stay tuned!

“This years Winter Slam was located in Helena, Alabama at the indoor track “The Warehouse”. This track was quite tricky with sub 15 second lap times and 8 car mains, passing was a true challenge. In addition to the tight lanes and quick lap times the track was very slippery Dark Red Clay. Typically the red clay outdoors is extremely abrasive, but when sunlight isn’t present it makes for a moist slippery surface. When I look to indoor or slippery conditions I find the M4 buggy tires work really well. In truggy with 4 times the tire patch and the fact that truggies need more steering than traction, the M3 Holeshots can be used with great success. I can endorse racers to give my tire combinations a try indoors on moist red clay.”

Billy Easton‘s tires used indoors at the Alabama Winter Slam were:

Truggy: VTR Holeshots m3

Buggy: Holeshot M4

The 2012 CRCRC Midwest Champs is over and the dust has settled. What a great event with 35 heats if RC racing action. Pro-Line’s Ryan Cavalieri went in to podium all 4 events he entered and TQ 2wd and Mod Truck.

In the end Ryan would win the first two mains in truck securing the overall win. In 4wd bad luck came into play but Ryan still managed a podium finish. The mod truck main saw a bundle of drivers using Pro-Line’s Suburbs tires in Mc compound (8205-17) in fact, several factory drivers were spotted with Pro-Line MC rubber on their rides proving this was the tire of choice.

Congrats to all the winners! 

We look forward to next year!

Kyle McBride Wins Meakin Masters

Scott (Kyle’s Dad) sent in this race report from Kyle’s awesome weekend:

Kyle dominates the 2012 Meakin Masters!!

Kyle has now won this event 4 years in a row!!

The annual Meakin Masters which is held at the Meakin Track (The Brick Yard) in Kingston, Queensland, Australia.

Kyle hit the track for the first time on Saturday hard with his Kyosho TKI2, setting the T.Q pace for the first round.

The track was quite slick for the first run, so tire choice was critical, using the Pro-Line Bow Ties M3 for the first run set the time of 16 laps 10 min 15 seconds.

The second qualifier Kyle sets another T.Q going 4 seconds faster than the 1st qualifier!!

The second qualifier the track was starting to pack down nicely, so we decided to run the Pro-Line Sniper!!

The third qualifier Kyle equals his T.Q time setting another 16 lap 10 min 11 seconds.

Heading into the Amain the track was extremely hard packed, but polished smooth like wax, so we decided to run M4 Calibers

The start of the Amain Kyle pushed hard to break the pack, setting into a comfortable lead with his Kyosho TKI2!!

Kyle’s Kyosho was dialed!!

Kyle led from start to finish lapping the field twice and setting the fastest lap of the final!!

Another great win for Kyle and Pro-Line!!

Cheers,
Scott McBride

Congratulations Kyle on a great Victory!
