Yokohama tire who not only makes tires for almost everything from sports and race cars to big rigs and commercial trucks is introducing some new aggressive off-road tires at the Big O Tires conference in San Antonio Texas, including the new gorgeous Geolandar X-MT (not yet available in stores). So, to help promote their off-road line, they hired us to set up an off-road style slot car track. We used the Ninco digital system and off-road vehicles from Ninco and SCX. These slot cars have four wheel drive and independent suspension just like the full size models, which helps them navigate the rough terrain on our slot car track. Our gracious hosts at Yokohama and many of the attendees from Big O Tires had fun racing on the track during the conference. Of course there was some fierce competition too! This slot car racing really was bringing out the kid in a lot of the adults. Thank you to the wonderful folks at Yokohama and Big O Tires for having us be a part of your event.
