Good to see them have a driver doing well, does anyone know what tyre and compound he's running?
Did VP-Pro have anything new for the worlds team drivers?

It says Axman Tires. I would guess he is using Low Flex or Medium Flexx, but possibly soft Ultra Flexx for qualifying.

Yes they're coming out with new truggy tires for 2013

I've used the cut offs a lot at the tracks around me. Turbo trax are good also

Not with the cord shown in the pic. However, You can use 11.1v lipo battery or a 12 volt power supply. Nothing more than 12v.

Are the mounted but unglued tires ready for glue or is everybody stripping them down and cleaning them?

jigs will be in late next week I hope.

Caps are on order.

Make sure to remove and clean and hole punch tires before gluing. I also dremel the wheels for a better holding glue job.
