MyTrickRc:
MyTrickRc is known for producing high-quality LED kits for the RC market. We have all experienced the many different kits out there, only to find most of them are the same as the others. MyTrickRc takes a different approach and produces each component with pride. Of the many light kits we have tried, this is the first one to work solidly, as it should, each and every time. The control module looks and feels very high-quality, and performs as it should. The LEDs each come with leads long enough to reach the entire length of most, if not all the 1/10th scale bodies. They even include mounts and ties to hold the wiring in place.
Super-G was fortunate enough to work closely with MyTrickRc in the development of the Drift-X Drift Spec LED Kit. Of course we all want the BACKFIRE feature, and MyTrickRc got it right! No more of this "Lighting up at full throttle" stuff. The Drift-X backfire works as it should. When you are under load and let off, the backfire kicks in! We have had countless people ask which kit we are using because it's the first one they have seen work correctly. The Drift-X Kit is programmed with 9 different modes and a set of modes that can be cycled by a 3rd channel. Keep an eye out for the Super-G Full Review.
MyTrickRc has donated 2 of his yet to be released kits for the event! You can be one of the lucky kids on the block with an exclusive new shiny toy!

Speed Passion:
Even with short notice, Speed Passion jumps into the ring with 2, 3.0 Competition Brushless 13.5R Motors. MSRP $70 Value x 2
Also, 2 - SpeedPower Lipo Charging Bags to keep you and your surroundings safe while charging your LiPo batteries. MSRP $10.89 Value x 2
Speed Passion has been a favorite among the crowd here at Super-G. The smooth reliable performance and excellent bang for the buck, it really is a no-brainer. Most people who are accustomed to some of the other brands and pleasantly surprised when they give the Speed Passion Reventon line a try.

Tetsujin:
Atsushi Mizunaga, the owner of Tetsujin had visited Super-G the week prior to the event. He generously donated some of their new wheel faces, acrylic licence plates, and 1/10 scale sponsor flag! Expect to see Tetsujin products normally stocked at Super-G.
Super-G RC Drift Arena / Project-G:
Ok guys, it's pretty obvious the guys here at Super-G are really feelin' the Yokomo chassis. So what better way to share that feeling than to let one lucky winner choose which chassis they would like to have.
We own the DIB Version 2, and we feel it's an amazing chassis. I would not hesitate for a second to choose this as my only chassis. The belt drive setup is amazingly smooth and the car is fun to drive. The DIB Version 2 already comes heavily upgraded, including the Type-C style front end and SSG main chassis, upper deck, and shock towers. It comes in both blue and red to make your decision that much harder.
Also up for the winner's consideration, the Yokomo DPR!!! This is Yokomo's newest latest, and comes with all the hop-ups standard. A new style Type-C Front end complete with low scrub hubs. This bad boy is shaft drive, so the response is "right now!" The DPR comes in Blue ONLY.
The most noticeable difference between the two different chassis is belt or shaft drive. Here at Super-G, we really like both. Belt or shaft? Blue or red? We'll let you decide for yourself!!!
This list will be updated as the prizes come in!!!
