JConcepts Hit Men Racing tires

More new tires from JConcepts, this time for 1/8th scale buggies. Called the Hit Men, the unique pyramid lug design combined with sticky compounds like yellow and blue allow the flexibility necessary to compete on a multitude of the most demanding surfaces for an extended period of time. They are a special breed, designed for maximum performance when new or used as the design allows even wear all the way down to the tire body. Incorporating a compact tire body with a crisp tread pattern with precise separation for intense racing competition, they excel in new condition on soft surfaces with either dry or wet conditions, while worn they excel on indoor or outdoor clay tracks where a slight groove has formed.

Hickersen wins RC Pro East Series Rd2

We received a report from Gene Hickersen on round 2 of the RC Pro East Series that was held at Sumter, South Carolina last weekend. There was a light turnout of 110 entries due to several other big races the same weekend on the East coast, but the track was challenging as the best from the East battled for the Division Championship. It was perfect weather with 85′ F temps. The track was watered before each round, but got very dusty and bumpy as the weekend went on.
