Sweet!

Sadly I only know how to setup a Kyosho buggy.

You got that right! Split us up and we can pretty much destroy a whole race day!

Now if I can get that dayummmm bo guy to leave Randy's car alone I'd be alright. I had his car setup, guaranteed to give me the lead on him. Bo if I catch you near his slash I'm going to have to get a can of whoooooooopboooo out. I cant handle getting beat twice by him.
I think I actually only beat you once, in the Buggy B main (I won! I won!) thanks to Bo's quick setup on my B4. I noticed after looking on the results page that I had forgotten to swap my transponder back to my Slash for the Main. I would have loved to see the times on that one because I was ahead of you until the 2nd from last turn where you got inside me and beat me to the line by about 10 feet!

What kind of lap times are yall getting on your track and how long is it? Also, do you have people that are running 4 wheel mod? I would like to come run sometime with you guys. We all run 4 wheel mod up at battlefield and would like to come check you guys out.

2wd buggies were doing 29's and Shaun Mac managed to sneak in a few 28's. 4wd mod could run 28's no problem, maybe even 27's with the right driver. Come on out and run some 4wd mod, I know Shaun, Bo, and John would love to have more buggies out there! And so would I I know I REALLY enjoyed driving Bo's D4, it was sick amounts of fun!

By the way, does anyone have a t-nut for the XXX-4 diff? Shaun (my brother) broke his and cant seem to source one.

Low 29's Mid 28's with 13.5 buggy. Mod 4wd is a little faster but the track is tight and technical so it's not wide open like most bigger tracks. The track is 120x70. Tire choices are bowties, holeshots, DD's, and Goosebumps for 4wd "they don't work real well on 2wd". Give me a call if you decided to bring a group down 706-409-2997 might have to leave me a message.

For those of you that have 2wd 10th scale trucks and for those of us that want to get new trucks, I have a question.

Do we want mod or do we want super stock(13.5/19t)? I am good either way. I personally would want to go mod but I have no problems running SS(I'd probably be faster in SS).

Let's hear your opinions. We need to have an idea of what people want to run if we are going to be able to promote it.

Also, in the short term, I would be running a XXX-T till I could get my hands on a Kyosho RT5. I know it(the XXX-T) currently has a 13.5 in it.

This is in no way meant to be mean but if you are gonna run a stock truck you might as well run a Slash. I have run stock truck at big events just to have another class to run. How bout split the difference and run 10.5 mild mod.
