I'm fine with both but maybe that would appeal to the crowd and sell a few more trucks and buggy's which is what we all want.
im shocked! That's the smartest thing anyone has ever said about anything... ever...

You make a good point though. I would like to see the heads up starts. Sure they may tangle up and wreck, but they are slashes... they can take it! Aside from that, kids dig crashes... yet another selling point.

The weather forecast is not good for Saturday.
Maybe the on road guys will have better luck with Sunday.

I don't think onroad will run this weekend. So best chances for offroad look like sunday. That maybe a wash also with all the rain moving in. We'll keep our hopes up though.

You dont need that special setup crap for the slash I didnt do anything to mine but put an old orion lipo pack in it and let her rip and she kept up just fine with Gene's "tuned" slash
