Stock class will allow bearings though right? Stock bushings wear out very quickly, and lead to drivetrain issues, and very erratic handling.

Really looking forward to racing these things. It's going to be a blast!

Great! I'm going to try and get some time in the next couple days to tear mine down and get bearings installed.

I shared your first post over on URC, so any MI folks over there that might be interested can see it. Hope you don't mind.

Here are some good examples of the Latrax Rally bodies available, along with wings.

Nice shocks! I've been eyeing them for a few days now. We will probably start out running in the stock class. Eventually though, I know we will end up running in the "hop-up" class.

I plan on staying with the stock brushed motor. I do like all the bling although being a Tamiya nut!

I'll be staying stock brushed too. I'll probably stay brushed even if I end up running in the mod class. I have a couple new Trinity Mini Monster Horsepower motors sitting in one of my boxes. Those motors run great on 2s lipo.

I'm hoping my wing, and mounts arrive by Friday, but I doubt they will. I dyed my stock wheels black, and did my own stickers on the body. I'll run it like this until I get a chance to paint up a body for it.

Looks great!

My 2 kids cars are ready, hopefully there will be some that show as the series get started. Waiting for mine to be in by Wednesday. All 3 of us will be there. 1st showing so I don't expect a lot of people.

Yeah, a few weeks of getting the word out, and I expect it will gain popularity. I almost have my brother in law talked into it. I'm working on a few others.
