KEVIN MORALES WINS TRUGGY IN SNSS SERIES ROUND 2 ON PRO-LINE HOLE SHOTS
After a rough day of qualifying at the second round of the SNSS series held at Stateline R/C in Fremont, Indiana. I ended up 3rd on the grid in Truggy and 6th in E-Buggy. After a tough battle to the front in Truggy, I ended up taking the win by a little more than two tenths of a second. I did have a decent 8-10 second lead but I could feel my servo saver loosening up which forced me to calm my driving down just a bit, but I held on to take it all.
In E-Buggy I charged to the front during the first two laps of the 10-minute main and found myself in the lead for much of the race, but closely contested by Greg Nichols who was on me the entire race. After a slight bobble Greg got by me and I ran out of time to make a pass back for the lead. It ended up also being a nail biter finishing less than two tenths behind 1st place.
Thanks to all of my sponsors, TLR, Horizon Hobby, Tekin, Pro-Line, Darkside Designs, Lutzrc, Dirtburner Racing, and Stateline R/C!
SCOTT FURTADO WINS AT MAXIMUS R/C RACEWAY ON PRO-LINE TIRES
This past weekend I attended Round 1 of the Triple Crown Series at Maximus R/C Raceway up in York, ME. This particular series is one race a month during the Summer months of June, July, and August. The driver with the most points at the end of the 3 races is crowned Champion in that class.
In attendance were drivers from all over the New England estimating a total number of entries between 70-90 with 12 heat races. I was competing in 2 classes: 2wd Mod Buggy and 4wd Mod Buggy. The biggest class of the weekend was 2wd Buggy with 3 heats.
In the end I ended up TQ in 2wd Mod buggy and finished 3rd.
In 4wd Mod buggy I qualified 2nd and ended up winning the main.
I had a great day of racing and my Pro-Line equipped TLR22 (M4 ION up front and M4 Suburb in the rear) and TLR 22-4 (M4 ION front & rear) were on point all day.
I want to thank Pro-Line for all their support!
Thanks,
Scott Furtado

ELLIOTT BOOTS TAKES TQ AND WIN AT BRCA #2 USING PRO-LINE X2 DIAMOND BACKS
Another great TQ and win for Elliott at the BRCA Nationals! We now extend our lead nicely. We used X2 Diamond Back, they worked awesome and Elliott was able to get the extra lap.
We arrived on Saturday morning to start 2 rounds of practice and due to the dusty conditions, as suspected. We were to test our Pro-Line Bow Tie X3 Compound and also Diamond Back X3 Compound. We were also making some changes to the car from our normal setup – normally we would be running with orange springs on the rear which we tried in practice one and in practice two we used the blue springs on the rear as it was stopping the car collapsing and made the car easier to drive. We were now pretty well set for 5 rounds of qualifying. Elliott was using his Reds R7 Evoke Engine in his MP9 TKI3 and running with 25% Byron Fuel.
Qualifying
Round one of qualifying was looking okay but due to a few mistakes half way through Elliott would qualify 4th in the round, which was okay as he was still setting the car to his liking with the loose and quite aggressive track conditions. Once we had found the car to his liking with a few more changes to the diff oils and shock oils and changing the tyres to Diamond Back X2 Compound, Elliott would then go on and TQ the next 4 rounds of qualifying, which would give him the overall TQ for the meeting and one championship point. This would position Elliott on pole for his semi-final on Sunday.
Finals Day
We had a 10-minute semi warm up where we were using this to test the engines run time. We already decided that we were going to be running the Diamond Back X2 tyres. Elliott felt very comfortable with the car and was looking forward to his semi-final.
Semi-Final
Elliott was on pole and immediately set off in the lead and was battling hard with Darren Bloomfield, swapping the lead with him which was looking to be a very closely fought battle. Both made a few mistakes and due to an ambitious fuel stop in which the car was released too early in front of Darren, we received a stop and go which then handed the lead back to Darren. Elliott pushed on hard and was able to regain the lead and win his Semi. Elliott was a little concerned with the handling of his car as the track had taken a turn for the worse and became very bumpy and very aggressive on some of the corners, which was unsettling the car but with this all happening was able to start the Main Final in second place behind Pro-Line Driver Lee Martin.
A-Main Final
The Main Final as normal with our National Championships was to be 45-minutes long and was going to be an extremely hard final with some close racing as the track was hard to race on and would be hard to overtake and had to be driven with the utmost respect otherwise it would bite you hard with lots of drivers making mistakes throughout the afternoon finals. We decided that we would make some changes to the car. We increased the weight of the shock oils and lowered the car to make it easier to drive but this may mean taking it easy at the start to let the car settle and learning the track to get into a comfortable rhythm.
Elliott set off and was quite comfortable as he dropped place back to third in the opening stages so that he could follow the rest of the drivers in front of him so that he could feel comfortable with the car and to re-learn the track conditions before making any overtaking moves. It wasn’t long before Elliott was able to get into the lead and was having a good race with Lee Martin, who was doing one less fuel stop than us so it was going to be very tight throughout the race. As time went by, Elliott was looking very comfortable and was able to set some very fast lap times and was able to edge away. Before you knew it he was then in command of the race and was able to finish in first place, some 17 seconds ahead of second place.
With this second win of the year it puts us in a very strong position for the rest of the series with 3 more rounds to go.
We would like to thank all the sponsors for all their help and support this year so far.
Next stop is Kent National Championship in July.
Thank you for all the support,
Chris and Elliott Boots
DEVIN CHESNEY WINS E-TRUGGY AT FULL HOUSE TROPHY RACE ON PRO-LINE BLOCKADES
Where: Trains and Lanes
Race: Full House Trophy Race
When: Saturday, June 21st
Race Setup: 2 rounds and double A-Mains, 8-min SCT mains, 10-min Electric
Classes: E-Truggy, 4×4 SCT
E-Truggy:
Box setup minus 3mm of droop in the rear
Pro-Line Blockades M3
My truck had no struggle at all over any of the features or rough sections of the track. I went out for round 1 and set TQ by almost a lap ahead of the whole field!
For the second round I did the same and reset TQ and put on the faster laps on the track as I was testing different lines.
In the A-Main I started on point but fell back as I messed up right on the first rhythm section but I came back a few laps later to win it over all!
4×4 SCT:
Blair’s setup outdoors
Pro-Line Hole Shot 2.0
Venom 8000 mah 20c
First round I was on a good run but as I landed a double my truck shut off ….. So I pulled it off before the next round and checked as my battery connector got so hot it melted off.
Second round I went out and ran an awesome race while taking over TQ, 3/4 of the race through I wrecked on the rhythm section and fell back to fifth overall. That’s how close the top 5 were together.
In the A-Main I started fifth and instantly took second only 1-second back as I made a mistake and fell to 4th. While running fourth my car landed a jump and shut off…. But I still had steering and I fell 2 laps down and it started up again but it happened again as soon as went to go again. So I sat it out and didn’t finish. I think I need a new esc because it got shaken too hard.
Overall: I got to run with a few teammates from Tekno RC named Geoff Arnold, Brandon Coblents, Jay Hood.
As well as running with some Venom drivers, Brandon Coblents, and Alan.
Thank you Tekno, Pro-Line, Venom/Atomik
