Manufactures Agree To Spec Tire For Electric Offroad Nationals

June 21, 2005

In 2005, ROAR announced that it would discontinue the spec tire rule for the Electric Offroad Nationals. In an effort to control costs and ensure a level playing field, Team Associated, Team Losi, Kyosho, Pro-Line, X-5, and Peak/Orion have agreed to compete at this event hosted by RC Madness in Enfield, CT with a spec tire and insert. Also, following in the footsteps of the recent IFMAR ruling, tire additives will not be used by the teams at this event.

The driving force behind this unprecedented decision is the cost associated with attending an event of this magnitude. Now the average racer can show up to the event with one type of tire and be assured they will compete against the best without a disadvantage in tire tread, compound, or insert.

The mutually agreed-upon tires will use the packaged inserts listed below:

2WD
Front: Open
Rear: Pro-Line 8184-02 (M3 Holeshots)

4WD
Front: Losi 7282R (Red Blockheads)
Rear: Losi 7369R (Red X-2000)

Truck
Front: Losi 7505R (Red Directionals)
Rear: Pro-Line 8192-02 (M3 Holeshots)
