I guarantee you'd be happier with a Losi 8 RTR.

Check the price in the cart and make sure to look at everything included. And a big plus one to what Ben said.

Default calling all racers

Finnally got maybe a full weekend with out any rain. anyone interested in coming out to give hand doing some final grooming of the jumps and track surface would be greatly appreciated. if you want to bring a shovel and rake if anyone has hand tiller for smaller areas we can not get with the big tractor that would help out also. if all goes good this week should be able to have a race next weekend. All races will be on SUnday I will get schedule put together by Monday. Thanks Jason

Garantee I wouldn't! It's a gaser and you couldn't pay me to own a gas vehicle!

And I hole-heartedly agree that you do get what you pay for. For less than the roller version costs of the Losi I can get a lot of fun!

They have an RTR 8E as well. Are you looking for something to race or just play around with?

Is that for rc cars? I don't think i've ever seen that many jumps in a row on an rc track! Looks like a marshalling nightmare!

Organized racing occasionally, mainly just foolin' around. I'd have fun with either. I'd have more fun buying the tiger and spending the money I saved and buy a bunch of those new Animus trucks for me and my friends to mess around with.

Allot ideas did come from Brian's track. Gil had stoped at brian's track right after had it built and was impressed so we decided to build all the jumps with Plywood. We also wanted a track that was going to make you a better driver. Anyone who races can drive around on a flat track. This is Off-road man. Rythum sections are tough to get used to but like eveyone if you can not get it down you will have to roll the jumps. If I remeber Alex had a section lastyear with 8 to 10 jumps in a row. We built ours so that there is allot of options and the end table tops will have kickers so you will be able to jump from table top to table top. Tracks going to be a blast the even better part is racing is going to be $5 for one car and $10 for as many as you want to run. $10 for family. We will run a points series that will have rewards at the end of the year. We had a good day at the track today. still have some work to get done. Don't think we will have race nxt week but should be able to get a good practice day in. I also forgot to mention track is open to the public through out the week for practice at no charge once the track is completed. Looking forward to having some fun.
