Does anyone know if Mike's will have VTA tires and wheels available at the shop?

If you can find them, bring your own. I know we have had a hard time getting them in the shop over the last few months. Im sure we will be loaded if we can actually get them. Same goes for F1. All other classes will have enough tires to keep everyone happy.

Thanks Chris.

Found some wheels and rear tires but no fronts. I'll check a few local places...maybe they have them burried behind something else.

Maybe ROAR can come up with a suitable alternative if the proper ones are still back ordered.

So no answer form AWD or Roar for this Yet?

The rules are pretty straight forward, if a Manufacture of either a motor or ESC (including software version) is not specifically on the approved list it is not legal.

Specifically relating to Tekin's 222 version - we were told to not test it as there are problems. Tekin will submit 223 or the next version when they are ready, and it will go into the queue for testing.

It looks like HPI may have replenished the stock of VTA tires. Check their web page http://www.hpiracing.com/hpitires/touring/.

Just got a huge shipment of xray parts up here at the shop. Will be stocked through Nats. Glad to hear that Hpi made the tires available again.

Does that mean you have a full selection of CRC tires?

Also do you sell paragon?

Thanks!
