What
is
all
this
Short-Course
Mumbo-Jumbo-Uber-Hype?
New
for
some,
however,
off-road
short-course
racing
is
nothing
new.
It's
what
we
have
been
doing
within
the
R/C
industry
for
years!
As
the
R/C
industry
takes
a
considerable
amount
of
styling
cues
from
full-size
motorsports,
the
short-course
R/C
rage
is
no
different.
One
look
to
the
off-road
sector
of
motorsports,
short-course
racing
is
what
is
in
style
or
trend
right
now.
But
is
it
just
that,
a
trend
or
fad?
Again,
full-size
off-road
short-course
racing
is
nothing
new!
From
the
Mickey
Thompson
Stadium
Series
starting
in
1983
on
the
West
Coast
to
the
Crandon
International
Off-Road
Raceway
celebrating
its
40th
anniversary
in
Wisconsin,
it
is
easy
state
that
short-course
racing
is
and
has
been
a
WAY
OF
LIFE!
In
recent
years
short-course
racing
has
become
more
recognized,
on
the
radar,
due
to
more
press
and
media
partners
from
the
likes
of
DIRT
SPORTS
magazine,
most
major
tire
manufacturers,
tool
companies,
a
slew
of
energy
drink
companies
and
any
other
company
that
truly
knows
the
function
of
"racing"
as
merely
"fast
moving
billboards."
Okay,
maybe
they
don't
see
it
as
such
and
are
just
truly
enthralled
with
off-road
racing.
I'm
sure
the
latter
is
the
typical
reason...

What is all this Short-Course Mumbo-Jumbo-Uber-Hype?

Okay, maybe they don't see it as such and are just truly enthralled with off-road racing. I'm sure the latter is the typical reason...
While short-course popularity is on the boom, it has very close family ties to the desert. Desert racing's pinnacle event has to be the BAJA 1000 with organized race history starting back in 1967 - attracting media from around the globe. A lot of the competitors were also the same competitors that participated in the Mickey Thompson Stadium Series. Guys like Walker Evans and Ivan Stewart were racing both series. The Baja 1000 sits alongside such events as the Indianapolis 500 and Pikes Peak Hill Climb garnering global attention. With this type of global influence it has also built a strong backbone of local and regional desert racing events, fans, enthusiasts and diversity all with a common thread, a love for "off-road." It was not so long ago that the 80-mile loop around Barstow or Lucerne Valley, California was considered a short-course, closed loop event.
We too are not new to the desert. 2005 saw HPI RACING take the four R/C industry magazine editors to *Baja, Mexico for the debut of the Baja 5B, along with a fun filled experience of driving full-size off-road vehicles with the Wide Open Baja crew. In 2007 we set out to truly honor the old *Barstow-To-Vegas race with our 120-mile [full size miles] trek across the desert with a HPI Baja 5B from Barstow, California to Primm, Nevada. This was followed with a six-page story in the April 2007 issue of *Dirt Sports Magazine.
We've continued the passion for off-road R/C "short-course" racing bringing the Baja 5B/T to a closed-loop race course at the *Baja Nationals at Milestone MX Park in Riverside, California in 2008 with the help of the HPI Baja Community.
While our introduction of the 1/10-scale BLITZ Short-Course Truck is new, we are not new to the game of off-road.

In
the
wake
of
"all

in

HPI
RACING
[global

teams
up
with
MAXXIS
International
[full
scale

tire
manufacturer]
for
a
collaborative
effort
to
reproduce
in

form,
Maxxis

tires
for
2009
Fall
release
of
the
HPI

BLITZ
WITH

ATTK-10
BODY.
The
full-size
Trepador
Competition
Bias
Tire
is
part
of
the
Maxxis
Competition
Division
where
extreme
off-road
driving
calls
for
a
tough
tire.
Unique
tread
element
arrangement
ensures
a
uniform
tread
contact
area
for
sure-footed
handling.
Multi-stage
staggered
shoulder
pattern
provides
improved
control
even
on
the
most
difficult
off-road
and
rocky
terrain.
These
are
the
design
elements
that
HPI
Racing
BLITZ
designer,
Erik
Shauver
keyed
into
as
he
set
out
to
capture
both
the
original
design
of
the
Maxxis
Trepador
Comp
Bias
while
also
creating
a
tire
that
works
within
the
R/C
"scaled"
environment.
Not
a
simple
task,
"It's
not
like
you
just
stick
a
full-size
tire
design
in
the
copy
machine
and
hit
the
reduce
button,"
stated
Shauver
from
his
Foothill
Ranch,
California
Design
Studio
located
at
the
HPI
RACING
Global
R&D
Design
Headquarters.
While
making
use
of
the
Maxxis
Trepador
tread
pattern,
Erik
blended
unique
design
characteristics
with
inner
fabric
belting
that
extends
the
life
of
the
tire
and
adds.
Also,
the
tire's
inner-foam
is
composed
of a
unique
compound
and
texture
which
work
with
the
shape
of
the
BLITZ
wheel
for
increased
performance.
Our
1:10
scale
Maxxis
Trepador
tires
are
well
suited
for
a
wide
range
of
environmental
conditions.
