Are you sure you should be looking for the last tenths in a class that's designed to be budget and beginner friendly? I feel like you might have lost the plot.

Some people race to win, some people race to race. Doesn't matter the class, someone will try to find every advantage possible.

well here is mine... by far oldest truck at the track... Ive had it since 2017, bought it used(henced the orange body)... never changed anything on it except added Reedy servo and Reedy lipo. It lives in my trunk of my car, I never work on it, it doesnt have any fluids in it even in the shocks. Same wheels and tires and bearings. No maintanence eith....Its never been broken except rear wheel, that I keep gluing back together LOL. And its won a ton of races and podiums and some with other drivers. Including the USVTA Nationals 2x's, and ROAR Regionals 2x's. Its a fun little RC and completely stress free... did I mention the lights and sound box in it...cool as heck

I'm aware. They should be called out. Being a tryhard isn't a good look. And we don't do that often enough as a community.

*grins* A full list of how to cheat at this would be a fun mental exercise.

I'll get the Fat Fox whenever it's back in stock online. The Man body seems to break easily and doesn't seem to be super competitive.

If they are within the rules ... what is there to call out?

Lots of people are unable to point that camera of introspection upon themselves. Sometimes, you need to shine the light so they can see when they're hurting themselves or their sport.

Sure, it's in the rules. No, it's not good sportsmanship.

If that is how they enjoy the sport... what is it hurting you?
Please read this again "Some people race to win, some people race to race." and reflect on it. Are you a person that is racing to win or do you race just for the joy of racing? Someone looking for every 10th just to get a plastic trophy isn't going to care one bit about you bringing light to the situation and it's not hurting you any. Unless of course you are also racing to win and then your actions are just petty. Also keep in mind that someone who can actually benefit from ceramic bearings, binning motors or any of the other legal "cheating" will probably be good enough to beat you anyway. If you go into racing with the expectation to win, you will only be happy if you win. If you go out there and just have fun and work on improving your self, you will come off the track a happier person.

I have $9 amazon bearings (Tamiya on sale) and a $18 battery. I’m definitely budget/beginner.

i was just curious to see if there were any advantages.

Eurotruck is fun because it’s an even playing field. I’m less worried about breaking $30 arms or tweaking something. It’s also a good way to get new people into racing.
