Taylor jammin wins at Extreme RC Iowa
This past weekend was the RC Pro round 2 at Extreme RC in Evansdale, Iowa. I made the 5 hour drive up to the race with Jammin drivers Traver Mullen, Steve Hale, and Traver's dad Brad Mullen. Brad was nice enough to let me pit in their trailer all weekend. Friday was practice and my setup seemed pretty close after hitting the track the first time. The track had very low traction so I made a few changes to help hook my car up. I changed to 1 degree of anti-squat and changed my camber to 1 degree. I also felt like I needed more steering so I raised my front upper arms to the top hole instead of the middle hole. After making these changes I felt my car was very good so I focused on finding the right tire. I liked Proline M3 Calibers the best. Practice was cut short due to rain and it ended up raining all that night. The next morning we had a late start to qualifying but the track crew did an awesome job getting the track ready to run on and the track was in good shape after we got started. I had a rough first round but came back to TQ the remaining three rounds to take the overall TQ. In the third round I actually broke a front shock shaft on my second lap but finished the race and still was fast enough to TQ the round. Actually my time was about the same as my time from the previous round so even with three shocks my Jammin X2 buggy was still really good. I spent the mains day working on my car and trying to figure out what tires to run. I also pit for Steve Hale in the Arena Truck A-main. Traver and Steve battled down to the finish for third and finished a respectable third and fourth overall. In the buggy main I went out on M3 calibers but switched to M2 Bowties in warmups. My car was really good and after the first pit stop I opened up a big lead and didnt look back. I ended up taking the win just under three laps ahead of second Steve Hale who had a very close race to the finish with the third place driver. So Jammin took first and second in what ended up to be a very successful and fun weekend at Extreme RC. I'd like to thank the track crew for being such great hosts and I plan on returning next year. My set up sheet can be found posted on Jammin's website.
Taylor jammin wins Two for Jammin
Taylor James won & TQ's both Buggy and Truggy at the RC Pro held at Real R/C in Pleasant Hill, Mo. which attracted 156 entries and threatening weather all weekend. With the rain blanketing the track all week prior to the event, racers were greeted to a very slick track for the 2 day event. The rain never came, but Taylor James brought his own storm. Capturing TQ position in both classes with fast times posted in 3 of the 4 rounds in both Pro Buggy and Pro Truggy. More bad news for the competition in the mains as Taylor piloted his Jammin X2 Buggy and X2 Truggy to run away wins in both main events. Taylor was nice enough to give us a little insight into how he coped with the conditions of the track.
OFNA Dirt Oval Late Model Pro Wins at Charlotte
C&S Speedway saw 40 Entries (Low entries due to Speed Week for the Coca Cola 600 in Charlotte). The race had 2 classes of 1/8th scale: Limited Late This past weekend was race 2 of 4 of the East Coast Dirt Oval Series (ECDOS). The race was held at Thunder Alley R/C Speedway in Wilson, N.C. about 2 hours from the North Carolina coast. The track was a really nice, well groomed, 250 ft. outdoor dirt oval with a well stocked shop on site, World of R/C Parts & Supplies owned by Chad Bunn. Practice was Friday night with qualifying and mains on Saturday night. The track had awesome traction and was super smooth which was evident in the lap times, 5.4 seconds. In the 1/8 open late model class there was a heated battle between Stan Harrington, 2008 National Champion, and Robin Nelson Hyper 9 Team pilot. In the first round of qualifying, Harrington and Nelson swapped the lead back and forth with Nelson coming out on top. Pretty much the same in round 2 of qualifying with both guys adding a lap to their pace, once again with Nelson coming out on top. On to the mains with Nelson at the pole position. During the main, the two competitors looked as if their cars where tied together with a six inch piece of rope until the 2 minute mark when Harrington made a bold move in turn 3, diving under Nelson and clipping his rear quarter panel. Nelson held his own and went on to take the win! Nelson credited his win to the awesome power from his New and just released #51234 JLRacing Picco .28 engine.

Hot Rod Club Race - With over 80 entries Saturday at Hot Rod Hobbies in Santa Clarita CA, Chad Bradley and Jeremy Kortz battled it out once again to see who reign supreme. After two rounds of qualifying Chad with his X2 buggy was top qualifier over Jeremy and his Hyper 9 by less than a half second. The start of the main event Chad lead off over the first few laps, Jeremy took over the lead after Chad made a mistake over a jump. At the half way mark, both Chad and Jeremy pitted to take on more fuel, Chad's stop was a couple seconds faster than Jeremy's, this allowed Chad to retake the lead. With only a few laps to go Jeremy made an awesome pass on Chad on the back strait to regain the lead, Chad tried to pass Kortz over the next couple laps but Jeremy held his lines too good to allow Chad to pass and time ran out. Both Jeremy and Chad said their Hyper 9 and Jammin X2 buggies worked perfectly Saturday. ps: Kortz, if you do not email your write-up, I will use Chad version with my own changes!

Chad Bradley wins Nitro Buggy & Truggy plus takes Electric Buggy win!
OFNA Jammin's Chad Bradley led every lap of every race he started at the 3rd annual Canadian Indoor Off-Road Shootout. Not only was Chad and his X2 Buggy and X2 Truggy racers
the biggest draw on the track, his pit area was crowded with on lookers
and interested fellows racers the entire weekend. Chad was doing what
he does best. Helping racers and winning races! Chad put on a clinic
with his driving skills but also answered hundreds of questions of
other competitors. "It's a great feeling when you travel to other parts
of the world and compete with people that treat you as well as the
Canadians did at this event. I really enjoy helping other racers with
setups and just advice not only about the Jammin Product, but other
brands and stuff like driving technique and maintenance stuff. These
type of events are so much fun for me and I think the other racers get
a lot out of it as well." Says Chad.
