Anything real soft.....as far as tread pattern, ask 10 people and you will get 10 answers. Key is just a soft tire.

If you can stay in the groove just about anything will work right now..I ran some dynamite podiums today worked great.

Track Rebuild in Progress for RC Pro Series

Just a heads up, call before going in for practice, as Phil and the gang are re-building the Off-Road Track for the RC Pro State Series, I am not sure if there is an exact date for re-opening for regular practice.

OffRoad closed.

The track will be closed until the 12th no racing or Practice until then. The track turned out great a big thanks to Mark for the cool layout and all the work he put in it this weekend.. He wasn't alone though we had ton's of help show up it was awesome. There are to many names to list but you know who you are Thanks Guy's for all your hard work and a cool track to race on.

I almost forgot we now have a 42inch race monitor on the wall in the pit's so everyone can see whats going on.

The track is definitely 10th scale sized so you could run them, the last time I was out the only class I saw was 4wd electric though. I'm not sure there are many buggies or trucks around although there could be many in closets.
