Brooker Tracker RC sponsored two teams for the 2010 Tamiya M-Chassis Enduro on July 17 at the famed Tamiya Track in Aliso Viejo, CA.
A total of 16 teams entered the race. Both BTRC teams ran M05 chassis, and both finished the grueling 6-hour race.
Team 1 ran well but was slowed by reliability issues, as every team was at some point to one extent or another, and finished 14th.
Team 2′s car was down on horsepower to almost everyone from the get-go, but consistent driving and high reliability saw them running a solid 6th until the gearbox let go at the 5-hour mark. The time spent in the pits for repairs dropped them back to 8th place, where they finished.
A great time was had by all at this unique event, and we’re already looking forward to next time!
Novak’s Ballistic 550 Brushless Motors (#3504-#3506) are the first 550-sized motors to break into short course competition and easily outperform traditional 540-sized motors. The Ballistic 550s are so powerful because of their extra long stator and rotor magnet. In fact, the stator and rotor magnet are twice the length of 540-sized motors, giving them twice the torque of an equivalent 540 motor. Additionally, these larger-sized motors run cooler and more efficiently than their 540 counterparts. These high-powered machines are the motors of choice at small, indoor race tracks and easily install into OFNA’s® Hyper 10 SC Pro 4×4 Kit™, OFNA’s® Jammin’ SCRT 10 4X4 Kit™, Traxxas’® Slash 4X4 4WD Short Course Trucks™ and many other 1/10-scale short course trucks.
And like the Ballistic name implies, these motors are completely rebuildable and feature interchangeable wound stator construction. There are four Ballistic 550 Wound Stators (#S6504-#S6507) available with more to come!
We will have these motors in stock by Wednesday 6/9/10 so come get yours while they last!

It’s going to be a hot summer for Tamiya as they roll out a couple of much-anticipated new releases!
The FF03 front-wheel-drive touring car continues the tradition started by the FF01 and continued by the FF02. It’s an ideal foundation for the realistic scale bodies Tamiya is famous for.
There will also be an FF03PRO version (shown) that comes complete with all the hop-ups!
 For the off-road racers, The Tamiya Racing Factory (TRF) announces the TRF201 1/10 scale 2WD buggy. TRF releases are full competition-spec kits suitable for the highest levels of competition, and this buggy will be no exception!
  Both new kits are supposed to be released in May. We will be stocking both, so stay tuned for the anticipated arrival date.

One of the most famous and iconic RC models of all time has been updated and re-released in celebration of its 30th anniversary! The Tamiya Sand Scorcher is legendary for its scale realism and intricate detail. With original kits selling for thousands of dollars, the Sand Scorcher has long been out of reach for all but a lucky few.

AX90014 Trail Honcho SCX10: 4WD Truck 1/10th Scale
The latest SCX10 is inspired by off-road vehicles that are basically part truck and part buggy, nicknamed “truggies”. The Axial SCX10 is the kit to have when it comes to having a realistic looking truggy. It incorporates realistic features like a steel c-channel ladder frame, plastic molded cage, and plastic front bumper with aluminum skid plates to attack the trails with. These are just a few of the items that set these kits apart.
(3) Kits available this week. (3/15/10)
