This past weekend (3/11-14/2010) we attended Silver State nitro challenge, this was the first race on an American track where I used the long shocks. My car at silver state handled very well and I managed to qualify 5th in a very strong field of drivers. The track changed alot through the weekend which made tire selection the hardest part of this race. My car was very fast and easy to drive for the first 20 minutes of the main, I was able to get into 3rd place and keep up with Cavalieri and Tebo but as the race progressed my tires wore more than we thought they would and my pace dropped off. In the last 8 minutes Cody King managed to get by me and I ended up with 4th overall.
In Truggy I qualified 4th overall, again my car felt very good, up until the first fuel stop it was a close battle between Cavalieri, Tebo, Maifield and myself. I think that my car was as good or better than any of theirs unfortunately at the first fuel stop my pressure line came off my fuel tank and I was forced to pit early to put it back on and then pit again to put a zip tie on it, which put me 3 laps behind the leaders in last place. I was able to make my way through the field and back up to finish 4th overall.
I have attached my setup sheets from silver state.
The Hot Bodies off-road tyre range has expanded to fit the 1/5th scale Baja 5B from HPI!
Now available for the Baja buggy are the awesome Double Blade 2WD front tyres, as well as the Proto and Khaos rear tyres!
The HB Double Blades are just like the traditional multi-groove 2WD fronts that have been around for years. These are perfect for smooth, high-bite tracks and provide precise steering with their compact and straight profile.

The HB Proto tyres give you fantastic all-around traction and performance on nearly every surface! These are a great all-purpose tyre that performs great on hard-packed dirt, grass, loose surfaces and even tarmac, so for racing, practice or just playing around, this is should be one of your top choices!
Congratulations to HB world team driver Atsushi Hara for winning the prestigious TITC race once again!
Also a great result for HB team driver Andy Moore from the UK, who finished 7th in this world class field.
The event took place at the RC Addict venue in Bangkok, Thailand on the 26th-28th of February 2010.
Atsushi Hara was the man to beat all weekend. He took TQ after 3 rounds of qualifying and won the first 2 A mains to secure the 2010 TITC title.
Atsushi was racing a new Prototype version of the HB cyclone TC car.
An extra set of decals to let all your racing mates know who’s boss! Outfit your bodyshell, car and tool box with official Cyclone World Champion decals for those extra bragging rights at the track!
The world famous HB Rover tire now comes even softer! The HB Rover-EX tire works great in cold conditions or if you just can’t get enough traction! The treads are slightly beefed up to compensate for the softer compound and maintain the carcass shape.
This past weekend, 1/17/2010, Ty Tessmann travelled to Lethbridge, Alberta to take part in the Western Canadian Indoor Championship Series.
It has been 2 years since Ty has ran touring car and he had never run on rubber tires before so we had no expectations about how he would do with the cyclone TC. Our Reedy powered Cyclone TC performed so perfectly and flawlessly Ty found it extremely easy to drive and it was very fast. It didn’t take him hardly any time at all to get in the groove. He managed to TQ all 4 rounds of 17.5 and 13.5, the 2 touring car classes offered, and was able to win both A mains.
