P-L Driver Shawn Rusin Wins at SoCalU4RC on Pro-Line Hyrax Tires

Cherry Valley RC Raceway for SoCalU4RC Winter Series Round 3, It was definitely a hot one, this round. Track was dry all day no water. This made it a lot of fun you can slide a bit in the turns making trucks like my TRX4 and PRT Handel a little better. We ran the track backwards and there was a few changes nothing major just some rocks that needed to be avoided in the S turns.

Classes I’m racing this season are 1.9 Trail class with a Traxxas TRX4 With Holmes Puller Pro 4100kv, Castle mambaX on 2200mAh 30C 3S flight pack. For tires it’s Pro-Line Racing Hyrax Predator tires, Trail Powerstroke shocks and 2 Stage foams.
2.2 Trophy S class with a UCFAB PRTHD that is Holmes Puller Pro powered by a HobbyWing XR8 SCT esc.

Pro-Line Hyrax tires on solid foams, and Powerstroke shocks. And a new MKS HBL380 servo for steering.

2.2 Unlimited class with a TeknoRC DB48, Pro-Line Hyrax Tires on solid foams. MKS HBL599 servo, and Futaba 7PX all fluids are PTRCRacing, and lubricants by CowRC. I’m also running a new Holmes Hobbies 1900kv on 4s. It’s a 1/8 truggy motor that rips.
All heats went very well, but on the TRX4 I decided to go from 2S to 3S and this made a huge difference in speed naturally, but in the rocks there was zero hesitation, and with the small pack I reduced the weight making it not so top heavy. This made it turn a little faster and not feel like it wanted to tip.
A-Main 1.9 Trail went well with a 1th place. Super stoked to get the new Pro-Line Ford Raptor up on podium.

A-Main 2.2 Trophy S was a great race, we were having a little to much fun at the end jumping and my steering suffered. Still pulled a 2nd, the New MKS HBL380 servo has amazing power and speed. This rig was feeling really good, I don’t normally jump the Trophy, but it’s getting faster.

A-Main 2.2 Unlimited was an amazing race, I had the lead for a good wile but there was a strange sound coming from the DB48. I definitely felt the drive was going but I was not about to let up after finally getting around Tony Phalen. It’s not easy to get in front of him because he is so fast. I had a nice gap, car felt perfect, I had power for days, just driving like a Cadillac and ….. stop, lol yep there went the spur gear, I knew It. Oh well it was a blast and there is always another race. I pulled of the track and popped the cage off and the spur gear was definitely gone.
