Well, we had a nice turnout at our local track yesterday. We had 9 VTA cars running of which about 4 of them were new cars to the class, and around 2 of them are actually new racers all together (one of them being a friend that I let borrow my spare car to run with). The first two races were like a demolition derby and the topshaft came apart on my JRXS type R in the first and then a front belt problem sidelined during the second race. The third race went pretty well, was leading all the way to the 4 minute mark at was run into the track marker by some lapped trafic and gave up first but still finished in second place. The heat was really brutal this weekend down here with the heat index around 115-117 mark, so the turnout was fantastic for those temps.
Now I get to run through the car this week and see what else might have got damaged with all of the beating going on with the new guys. Needless to say, that new J71 body of mine doesn't look so new anymore....lol.

I took part of that in Germany few years it was a blast !!!
And the TT01 will survive it with not alot problems, and if there is a problem the TT01 can continue to run with that issue no problem =)
Where do they do that 24 hour race in the US ?

Sounds incredible and I have seen the pics from the German races. Super cool with the lights and all. I just wonder if I am up to that. Do you start with a new kit? Quick batt changes? Multiple sets of tires? Same shell the whole time? Plasti Dip jammed into every crevace (Rain race only)

when I get to my laptop, I'll post the links to the last 2 year's race threads... even though we had to push the race back a month (stupid hurricane), we still had 12 teams show.
build the kit & paint the body 2 hours before the race starts... and non-stop racing for the next 24 hours
silver can motors and Tamiya 104bk speedos and you're set

the first year, we went thru 9 sets of tires - last year, because it was cooler, we only went thru 1/2
no quick change setups allowed - just deans/banana plug/etc
haven't hit rain, but we have a 'shield' in the backroom to be used just in case...only allowed 4 'extra' holes in the chassic for water drainage..
shell that you start the race, has to finish the race - everything else is pretty much legal to be replaced...last year: 2 motors, 1 servo (even though it probably wasn't bad, saver was), 1 speedo (plug battery in backwards)
the year before we had to replace the passenger front twice (damn Rudy and cutting the exit to the back straight) and we had lighting issues (cars have to have front/rear lights or else it has to come off until fixed)
lots and lots of fun...6-7 guys to a team, 6 is about right

A big thanks to Scotty at Trackside for trusting and hosting the first races. Thanks also to Doug, Rob and all the other visionaries that kept things progressing and taking the concept National.

Hi guys , I have just purchased some new VTA rims and tyres and I noticed the tread pattern to be different to the ones I had many years ago. The old ones were a zig-zag pattern and I remember them being a much deeper groove..............
When did they change and are they better / worse or the same in performance and durability ???
Thanks in advance
