Kyosho's Ryan Lutz, the ROAR Truck Nats' truggy TQ.



Ryan's Sirio-powered Inferno ST-RR



Lance Norick, the man behind the Farm 2.



Smilin' Adam Drake waits for his turn at the compressor. He's in all three A-Mains.



Jason Ashton is wheeling an XRAY truggy this weeked, since his sponsor Sidorf doesn't make a truck. No question as to who's tires he's running though...



Cody King prepares to demonstrate his superhuman strength by ripping that chain out of the wall.



Bobby Tillman in a contemplative pose. Bobby is defending his 2006 Monster Truck Nats Champ title with his Traxxas Revo.



Hey Rhonda!



Pro-Line is debuting a new tire at the Nats, in the popular Hole Shot tread pattern. The Hole Shot LPR features a new low-profile carcass on a 3.7" wheel (a standard "Maxx size" wheel and Hole Shot tire is shown behind the new LPR).



JConcepts is also showing off new rubber. The Double Dee's include molded inserts and fit JC's new larger-diameter spoked wheels.

Sweet track.

Sorry to break into your post Hikari, but I need the space! --Pete



Ten year old Dakota Phend won the B-Main for a bump-up into the A. This kid is awesome!



Mom goes for the victory hug. Don't you wish your mom went to your races to give you hugs? And maybe lunch?



Dakota's Losi in action.



Traxxas racer Mike Battaile also bumped to the A-Main.



Mike's Jato. Correction, Mike's Associated GT2! My goof. --Pete



CEN's Andrew Smolnick took the win Monster Truck B for a bump to the A. With this kind of intensity, how could he lose?



Andy's CEN machine.



Gil Losi Junior is at the Nats, wheeling an Inferno ST-RR. He'll let Lutz worry about winning; Gil just seems to be having a good time. Not that we wouldn't crush any of us in a race...



Gil airs it out.

Jeez, how about a few more 180 degree turns on there? Should be a RX pack killer during the mains.

OK if I take some space in your post for the new Jammin truggy? Thanks man... --Pete



Though not yet officially called the CRT-X2, this is nonetheless the new Jammin truggy--and the new ROAR National Champ, thanks to Taylor James!



Body-off, looking very svelte.



New, larger-diameter shocks.





Rear angle, and closeup. That's a Losi wheel, but the X2 will include a similar, large-diameter design. The big wheel concept seems to be shaping up to be the new standard.



Chassis. Everything is more closely packaged.



Old chassis vs new. Note the extension that protects the radio box.

Is that this years track? That layout looks really familar?

[Pat Fierle]

very cool track.

[RobK]

Man that's a big track--biggest I have seen. Almost need binoculars to drive!

[lordoftraxxas]

you know what would be awesome? if you guys could get some video coverage of a heat or main and put it on here. that would be wicked you know. its one thing to read and hear it but its another to see it.

that was exactly what i thought when i saw the layout.....

[moRotorMotor]

The track looks amazing! I'm a little disappointed because I thought the tittle of the thread meant coverage as in a live video feed. Pictures will have to do! lol

[ChadC]

Track looks perfect, very technical, but perfect. I really hope we'll get some video of the race's, maybe even the entire a-main's.

[Hikari no Tenshi]

Ok, Battaile is running quick releases on a Jato... the boys at Traxxas need to give a few of us Jato racers a few of these "special" parts already.

[thedarkness]

LOL why is Gil running 3.8 inch rims on the front and standard rims on the rear.

[T-Maxxahol]

It looks like a RC10GT2 to be honest.

Could be wrong though.....

[samyman]

[T-Maxxahol]

Took a second look at the Jato and was making a pretty good argument for it being a Jato and realized the caption reads "Mike's Jato"
