The Solaris tires/wheels are premounted

The hex size is standard on pretty much all TCs.

Wow! Thanks y'all for picking up the slack for me. Glad to know so many are able to help peeps out!

Redron-I have an LRP 17.5 to sell for $40 if you would like. Works very well and runs strong, I just don't have a need for it. I will have it with me this weekend. Keep your 25.5 stator too! I have a VTA along with a couple other guys at our track. I'll always throw my VTA out on the track for practice with others.

If anyone else has problems viewing or loading the flyer feel free to send me a PM with your e-mail and I will e-mail it to you.

This race is going to be awesome. We may not attract 200 entries, but I don't know too many other places you can eat a sandwich made by a multiple national champion while watching the same champion race, from inside the deli! I can't see how traction won't be way higher than what we had last October. If I can whip a boosted 17.5 rubber sedan around consistently, you KNOW there has to be grip!

We tried to run VTA a while back but it just didn't catch on. There are a few racers floating around with VTA cars but could never get it to catch back on. Most seem to gravitate towards either 12th scale or touring car.

What is your right price? I talked to a guy yesterday that has a 17.5bl for sale (I think it is a Novak 17.5ss, not sure). I may have one or two available but I wll be out running an onroad nitro race earlier in the day just south of Fort Worth and won't get to the track until just before qualifying starts. AWD's motor are in good shape and well taken care of so you have nothing to fear there.

If you have the Hot Bodies Subaru Impreza, you will be fine. The HPI version is kind of tall and a little top heavy. I don't believe it will handle well on the carpet track. What chassis are you running?

Tell those vta guys to come to trends and trains. Plenty of action over there. Second race in three race points series is March 5th.

We should have some Mazda 6 Speed bodies in the store. A one color paint job and you should be ready to rock and roll.
