Oval racing is often filled with some of the most hardcore dedicated r\/c racers on the planet. Being off a mere 3 or 4 seconds for their entire run means you may not make the show and may even be a lap down! \u00a0Lucky for Tekin <\/a>we have two of the most friendly and helpful oval racers around Eric and Steve Salvas. Let’s take a look at the first Salavas brothers car…We go Under the Hood of Eric Salvas’s 2012 US Open Wheel Dirt Oval Nationals Championship winning car.<\/p>\n

Eric runs a nice clean sinister looking Tekin RS Pro<\/a> Redline Gen2<\/a> powered Custom Works\u00a0Intimidator SE3<\/span><\/a> direct drive kit.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Eric controls all of his cars using Spektrum<\/span><\/a> surface radio equipment. Supplying power to the Tekin <\/a>equipment are SMC <\/span><\/a>“spec” batteries required by DODC. Notice the clear lexan debris shield to keep stuff out of the gear mesh.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Eric rolls out on BSR <\/span><\/a>racing tires while making ever left turn…Note that Eric runs his RS <\/a>mounted so the solder posts get fresh clean cool air, cool electronics always run faster!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

So next time you’re attending an RC Oval event make sure to say “hi” to one of the smiling Salvas Brothers, they’re twice as easy to find…there’s two of ’em!<\/p>\n
