When a 1/10th scale car hits a 4 inch pipe it gets stuck, so the drivers are more careful about their driving, when a 1/8th gets hits the same 4 inch pipe, its goes over it. Their just insn't much of a reason not to drive WOT in 1/8th scale

1/10th buggy is even more educational than 1/10th truck as you have to actually hit certain smoother lines on the track to be fast.
why are you hitting the tubing??? thats not what i would call clean driving...also if you were using 8 inch tubing you would loose you 1/8 buggy behind it being most 1/8 buggies only sit about 6 inches high, and trugs are only around 8 inches...
