LOL , Dude seriously first off , I have NEVER badmouthed the new truck and had been running an SCTE since the day they were released . I don't "throw flames on this thread" ( WTF does that mean anyway?) somebody asked how the SCTE 2.0 did at the DNC and I answered them , nothing more .
And yeah there are a bunch of FORMER Losi drivers on that thread and we all sit around the ole campfire and sing Kumbaya sipping hot chocolate talking about all our race victories .
Oh Lord kumbaya !

On the other hand...the OTHER truck has been out for a month or so now, right, maybe longer? I would hope it would being doing something since its been out and those team drivers have pry had theirs for awhile
And all the guy asked was "Was the team running the new 2.0 truck at Nitro Challenge?" and that was it if you want to be technical and quote people

Thanks for the help, yea some of the workers there aren't that helpful and some of them are a great help, unfortunately the guy that helps me a lot and special orders stuff for me was off today but he'll be there Friday if anything I'll still give em a call tomorrow and see what they could do otherwise I'll have to wait till Friday, I'm just worried to miss out on the first batch cause I don't want to end up buying another brand or SCT I'm set on the 2.0 and that'll suck if it sells out haha I'll let you know what happens

No to spoilers/wings on short course trucks
I for one got into the hobby b/c these rc vehicles looked damn near identical to the bigger, stronger, fire breathing bretheren of modern day off road short course racing trucks!
Whimsical Whoops; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFHvu...rec_grec_index
The marriage of scale looks to exceedingly high scale performance is what got me into this rc racing class, deviating from this could eventually lead to the sct class demise. Sure there are no solid axels or gas motors, but the suspension
and other components make it more scale looking and performing than any other era in racing for this hobby.
I kick started my love to the hobby by bashing around an rc sct, than got into monster rc trucks to also bash with, than I went to the track with my 1st 2wd sct,
and eventually ended up moving into the hobby's facet of racing, which meant spending more for the high performance type of rc sct 's available in the market.
I feel that these trucks should be highly prohibited from using wings, b/c then where will the buck stop? Eventually, they will revert to the ufo looks of a stadium truck or buggy.
If you want that sort of thing than join a buggy or stadium truck class, and get your open wheels and wings tied up in a knot.
Just like the real 1/1 scale trucks, we have fenders which can allow for some inadvertent bumping and rubbing while sliding into a corner,
which usually equates for me to good ole clean racing fun with scale battles and action, which you cant really get or experience with the heavily popular open wheel vehicles that dominate our tracks, (hacking is not what i'm talking about).
If the short course buggy class were to ever take off, than i would most likely start racing a sc buggy. Dont get me wrong though, I do however
appreciate the engineering and performance that goes into the premier racing classes of this hobby, its just they just look like ufo's,
and that is a big reason why I dont race in those classes yet.
