Finally getting some much needed rain in SoCal. Last weekends On Road program was washed out at one track and the other track is taking a break until Feb.
Might be a good time to go through the VTA and GT cars and get prepped for the upcoming season.

did major laps this weekend. since Dean's has so much grip , I ran without sauce with success. Seems like the tires have to 'come up to temp' to get going then they are good. only Prolines allowed at Birds. wish they made pre mounts with the silver 8 spoke rims.

PF wheels are available black or white ... silver 8 spokes would be HPI

And I bet you could have done the same with a old novak motor

Nothing replaces talent

ran against several trinity blue turds this past weekend . all performance was just hype ... same speed (strait line) as the rest ... it will work if you like adding 20g of weight after installing it
