Default 1/8TH BUGGIES

Just throwing this out here but isnt the track a little small for 1/8TH scale buggies.

Ya this is good! i think if it was advertised more i think the turn outs will come back around to what they used to! when i first started coming up way back in like 2004 or something it was crazy packed all the time! I miss those days. In my revo i ran the mamba combo but on only one 2s lipo! it was perfect. was not to powerfull and had pleanty of control. I think with the same in a buggy would even be better because its a little smaller than a revo. EIther way its a blast

I marked the calender for this one, how could I possibly miss the chance of seeing Robert Pauna stage dive with no one to catch him!!!

The only thing I worry about is injury to marshals. People have to drive these cars with respect. It's like flying a jet fighter in a school gymnasium.
Steve, maybe we can get Robert to do a mix between stage diving and Kitty

Speed is relative to layout. Would be hard to get a 1/8 going any faster then the monsters... May handle better but would probably be a touch slower then 4wd mod.... Just hard to make 8 pounds respond any quicker. Definatly would be drivable and could be run as 7.4 volt only if it
needed to be slowed.

Other food for thought is a 1/8 can really mess a track up for buggy... The ruts would could be a bigger factor

joe, I don't see any difference between 1/8 and your yoked out 4wd mod you had in 08'. That thing nearly took 2 peoples life. What are you running this year?

Lol. That was a mix between a 5.5 and a poorly placed quad that you could only make with a 5.5

I thought he was going to take it easy and not drink at the races this year?

What up Joe. Figure i would post the flyer for the 2010 MN state champs. Friday night my brother is going to have a few bands come out to play. A little free concert for the racers. Show will go to about midnight. Should be an awesome weekend. Just wondering if there is an interest to run a mod truck class. Probably be getting one shortly.
