About Me  My Name is Chris McKinney, I thought I would tell a little about me and my life. I am 37 and married with a 7 year old girl, I am a now a full time track and hobby shop owner. Thank you all for coming out and supporting me. I have been into RC, specifically cars since I was 8. I have wanted a Track and Shop since then and so this is truly my childhood dream. First and foremost this is a business. This should be good news to all of you as I really understand who my customer is, you the racer. I will do everything in my power to make each and every one of you feel comfortable at bumps and jumps, I hope if you have a concern you come to me or send me an email to let me know your thoughts. I also ask that you come to me for your parts and purchases, I will do what I can to meet or exceed other prices even Tower Hobbies. Thank you all for help making my dream a reality.

Q:
What tires work well at Bumps and Jumps?
A:
Virtually any tire that is bald will work on offroad. Make sure they are completely bald and look like a drag slick. Be sure to run the same compound front and rear - do not try to mix M2 in the front and m3 in the rear - it will lead to a very uncomfortable handling car. Diesel fuel works great as a traction compound.    Oval trucks are running strikers and some gas cars are running custom works street tracks most of the fast guys are running  foam tires in all classes - silvers, pinks, b's work well in nitro edms and sprints with trucks running A's or pinks and electric running silver or pink-purple combinations.
