I was contacted by Race Factor Industries to test a set of VP Pro Tires part# VP-802G-M at my local track Shake'n'Bake Raceway. The track is an all clay track.
Before I mounted the VP Pro tires on my buggy I tried every other tire company out there. I had a push on the way in and loose on the way out with all the other tires
I have used in the past. When I mounted the VP Pro tires on my car, I felt like my buggy was on rails. I was very impressed with handling and wear of the tires. I look
forward to running the VP Pro tires on my X-Ray 808 buggy in the future.

2008 Show Me Show Down Champion
2008 Tornado Alley Series Champion
2007 Hobby World Grand Opening TQ and 1st place
2006 Missouri State Champion
2006 Bossier City, LA RC Pro Series Round 1 Qualified 7TH and finished
7TH in the “A” Main

Sean put 2 laps on the field in a 20min main with the vp tires on his buggy.

These tire not only offer great traction with proven tread designs, but great wear as well.
hey Russell good to hear they are getting out there in the states.

the new compounds M1 and M2 are even better than the previous M and S compounds. M1 being the softer of the two (like proline M3's but better wear charateristics) the only thing to keep an eye on is the gluing of the preglued.

at our resent national championship 7 out of the 12 main finalists were on VP802u-m2's taking 1st 2nd 4th 7th 8th 11th and 12th

and the new truggy tires on debut also had 7 from 12 in the main taking 1st
2nd 3rd 5th 9th 11th and 12th
Now you can't argue with that

heres a link to the results

all I can say is give these a try and I'm pretty sure you won't regreat it
