Duratrax Posse Short Course Tire Review

Posted by Cubby @ 9:43 am. Filed in: Accessory Reviews, Duratrax

THE Duratrax Posse Short Course Tire Review

I can’t tell you how many noob bashers I’ve seen at the local track that are sliding all over the place (read- crashing a lot) but can’t understand why. Most of the time these bashers can wheel pretty good, yet they leave the track feeling like they are the worst drivers in the world. But… truth be told, most of the time, their issues at the track are a whole lot more about their tires than their driving ability. You see, big-lug stock RTR tires work great on grass and pavement, but can offer next to no traction on a hard-packed rc track. I can assure you, if you have no traction, you aren’t going to have any fun down at the local track.

A simple switch to the proper track tires can change a day at the track from horrible, to feeling totally dialed. Today we’ll be taking a look at the Duratrax Posse SC Tires in C2 compound. Can they help change your day around? Lets find out…

Hobbico At The HobbyTown USA Convention

Posted by Tim Mohr @ 8:43 pm. Filed in: ARRMA RC, Duratrax, Hobbico

In one of the extra large suites was our good friends from Champaign Illinois based Hobbico. You might recognize them better as Great Planes Distribution and Tower Hobbies. Hobbico had many products from their vast product lines on display from names such as ARRMA, Duratrax, and Axial. They didn’t debut any new surface product at the convention, but it was nice to be able to leisurely look at their product lines while being able to talk to their incredibly friendly staff.
