We have been quietly working on some new things as a result of racer demand. This includes both a new the market formula we have secretly been using behind the scenes for years that was never offered to the public, and a new (revamped) formula for the High Bite Rubber Tire racers out there.

First, we are soon going to release a product which has been absolutely amazing at conditioning, softening, and adding bite to hard compound RTR Style Tires. Think Traxxas Slash, Mudboss, and Modified tires, as well as Losi Sprint and now Late Model platforms. This formula has also proven stellar at bringing grip to harder, longer wear tires in extreme conditions where the hard lkng wear tires last better, but typically just dont grip well enough to be a good choice for the racer. This new formula is called "JUNGLE JUICE", and like ALL Talent In A Bottle tire preps, has a pleasant Fruit Punch scent.

Second, we have been working on a revamped Tire Prep for High Bite Rubber Tire Racers. Many of you loved our old High Bite Formula known as "Purple Drank". Unfortunately, the ingredients from the original PD Formula skyrocketed in price, and main the formula impossible to offer. Fast forward to 2025, and we released Blue Razzle Dazzle to the world. This has been our go to choice for Slick Tire Dirt Oval and Losi NASCAR Concrete/Asphalt Racing. Blue Razzle Dazzle is Still available, but are proud to announce the release of Purple Drank 2, or "PD2" for Short. BRD and PD2 work in similar conditions, but some of you have said you miss the Grape scent of Purple Drink, and others simply dont like the Razzberry scent of Blue Razzle Dazzle. We have been listening. BRD and PD2 we believe can be used interchangeably for the same exact conditions, but gives you the choice of your favorite flavor.

Application Recommendations:
- OG RED - Wet conditions, Loose Dirt, Soft and Super Soft Tires.
- Blue Razzle Dazzle - Clay Tracks, Slicks, Bar Tires, on drier and grooved conditions.
- Purple Drank 2 - Clay Tracks, Slicks, Bar Tires, on drier and grooved conditions.
- Apple Pie - Extreme High Bite Tracks in slicks, wanting grip without traction roll.
- Jungle Juice - Hard RTR Tires, for maximum Bite, conditioning, softening. Nothing adds more oil to the tire.

If your local hobby shop doesnt carry Talent In A Bottle, ask them if they will get it for you. If not, you can always contact us directly and order.

Last Weekend, we headed up to Attitude Rc Raceway for the Matt Voigt Memorial Race. We met a whole bunch of awesome new racers, and got to race with some old friemds whonare cagey veterans. The extreme Summer Heat was a challenge for all racers in attendance, but the Tire Prep of Choice on Attitudes Topsoil Dirt Oval Track was an easy call. Many classes at Attitude run on DE Racing Tires, and the D30 Super Soft Compound is the the top Choice for most racers. Without a doubt, DE D30 Rubber absolutely loves our Talent In A Bottle OG Red Tire Prep.

"The Silent Assasin", Brian Laurent chose Talent In A Bottle OG Red tire prep en route to an unprecedented 4 Class Weekend Sweep. Brian was dominant on the tricky bottom groove of the multi-groove race track, claiming TQ Honors and Winning the A-Main events in Sprint Car, Short Course Modified, Midwest Modified, and Short Course Late Model. Congrats on the perfect weekend Mr Smooth!

We thank Brian and all of our other customers for CHOOSING Talent In A Bottle for your Tire Prep needs.

Wanna give a big Shout-Out to Jason Thompson on his dominant win in the BL-2 Mudboss class at the Mudboss Shootout in Tulsa. He piloted his Blanton Built Hot Rod to 96% Consistency en route to the win. Jason was hooked up on Talent In A Bottle OG Red tire prep, which is our go to choice on Traxxas Rubber, as well as our choice in Tulsa at the Shootout and Chili Bowl.

I would like to introduce you to my newest Talent In A Bottle Tire Prep option: "Blue Razzle Dazzle!"

Blue Razzle Dazzle is a proprietary new blend of RC Car Tire Prep that has been developed to fill a void in our lineup. Some of our loyal customers have been asking for a Prep that is great on higher bite conditions and fires off hard without fading. How do we accomplish this? We add more bite to the tire by putting oils into the rubber, which increases the available grip and the pliability of the tire. These oils will condition the rubber and drop the durometer of the tire a few points after continual use. The key of the Blue Razzle Dazzle formula is that it's our first Prep that utilizes ONLY Synthetic Oils. This has proven effective on the harder, synthetic rubber tires we typically use on the hard packed and higher bite race tracks.

Breakdown of our Talent In A Bottle Tire Prep Formulas:

- "OG Red" - Great all-around Prep for softening and adding bite to a tire. Works best on wet, lesser packed tracks, and on Soft and Super Soft style tires.

- "Purple Drank" - Less aggressive Prep for adding bite to the tire without over softening. Ideal on wet, harder packed clay and dirt track conditions, on both Soft Dirt and Clay style Rubber Compounds.

- "Apple Pie" - Least aggressive Prep for conditioning the tire without adding too much bite or over-softening. Best on DRY, Hard Packed, and Rubber Groove conditions. Use me if traction rolls are occurring.

- "Blue Razzle Dazzle" - Medium Aggressive Prep, gets more Synthetic Oils into the Synthetic Rubber Compounds we use most on the higher bite, hard packed tracks, to promote bite and make the tire fire harder. Best on the Clay, Long Wear, and High Temp rubber Compounds.

Blue Razzle Dazzle will start shipping to dealers later this week. Ask your local dealer to carry your favorite Tire Prel: Talent In A Bottle! Or you can always shoot us a PM and order directly.

We've been working on making our Hard Packed High Bite Tire Prep formulas better.

- Our Talent In A Bottle "Purple Drank" is definitely a great formula in many conditions, claiming hundreds of wins over the last couple of years on higher bite tracks.

- Our Talent In A Bottle "Apple Pie" has been an awesome prep option for when you want to keep your tires juicy so they fire off in extreme traction conditions without adding excessive bite and inducing traction rolls.

- Our Talent In A Bottle "OG Red" has been the staple of our lineup. It is absolutely dominant on wet loose to medium packed conditions. It adds the most bite to the tire out of all of our formulas. It is likely the best prep available for getting and keeping the oils in the tire.

So what's NEXT? Stat tuned, info is coming soon.....

The wait is over! Bottles and Lids are finally back in stock. All 3 of our Rubber Tire formulas are being brewed, bottled, and shipped to our dealers.

This spring, we have been hard at work to improve our already popular products. One focus was to enhance the pleasant fragrances of our preps. We have also worked to source our raw materials in larger quantities so we can ease the rise in prices while ensuring that we have an inventory of the same top-quality ingredients that we have always used. Lastly, racers asked for a more aggressive Rubber Tire Prep, and we released our "Apple Pie." Now we feel that our Rubber Tire product line is complete.

We have been working on a new formula for the Talent In A Bottle Rubber Tire Prep product line. Guys have been asking for a more aggressive option, and we responded with our newest option: "Apple Pie."

Apple Pie is formulated to more aggressively open the pores of the rubber and allow our proprietary blend of oils to pe*****te deep into the tire to add bite. This also helps to make the contact patch more pliable with the track surface for maximum grip!

The response from racers has been outstanding, with the last of our test batch made available at the McAllister Racing booth at the Mississippi Battleground race this weekend. Looks like things are a go to begin brewing the first production batch of "Apple Pie." We feel the current batch had a pretty good scent, but we will tweak the scent to be a little more pleasant.

We expect Talent In A Bottle Apple Pie to be available for everyone in Late March.
