Phils Hobby Shop in Ft.Wayne was a contributing sponsor for the Southern Nationals along with our club here in Florida. Steve was really helpful and I buy all my VTA bods,wheels and tires from them. Could they be of help ?? If so, contact them. Please remind Steve that his help was greatly appreciated for the Nats.

None of this is necessary for VTA, but it is something I enjoy, and while I will continue to work on improving my driving, I also continue to work on my equipment and my setup to squeeze every last ounce out of it.
Plus, all of my old cars have gone to new racers to get them into VTA. I have raced against 3 of my old TC3 chassis's, and I know my backup Sakura chassis (built from the parts leftover as I upgraded) just went to a new driver that will be joining us soon. I figure that is the best of all worlds, continuing to get new people into VTA and RC.

At the Snowbird Nationals the pit tables for the oval guys will have these full chassis dynos. They are only for D-drive cars and many of them are home built but they are neat anyway.

Tires are an issue right now. HPI has stated that they are on back order. Both my local shops had ordered at least 15 sets both of front and rear but can not give a ETA on them. this is a shame because my fronts are starting to go bald.

Its a shame HPI has/is dropping the ball with these tires. I understand mix ups but should have been fixed by now. With as popular as this class is and their tire only 1 being used, they would make extra efforts to maintain the supply for the demand. Bad business IMO. This isnt a flash in the pan class, its paid its dues, time for manufacturers to do maintain it.

Not to let HPI off the hook but I cant think of another time when a racing class has gotten this popular and at the same time been totally dependent on one particular brand and part # tire. I am sure they are feverishly working on getting the supply caught back up.
