What I'm getting at is that pretty much all of you on here have raced 1/8th scale for much longer than I have. I would very much appreciate it if some of you guys could give me some ideas about what you would want on an ideal 1/8th scale. If some of you fast guys could give input also that would be very helpful.

Just a note: I am not saying this because the Caster buggy needs improvement (It, in fact, is pretty freakin awesome. I encourage all of you to take a look at it). Right now, we are mainly working on testing and improving the 4wd SC, but we always want feedback/input
Carter, its really good to see the younger crowd get excited about racing and supporting your sponsors, but their is a forum dedicated to the Caster buggy, i think you would get more help their than here, plus it helps keep all the non dirtburners topics to a minimum. And its much easier to give input at the track than on the forums. So drive it, and ask questions at the track.

Thanks,
Nate

Thanks for the response. I actually do plan to do that, I just figured that I would ask on here because I won't be able to race until the memorial race on the 7th. Also, I dont think many of you are going to come up to me and just rattle off what makes a good buggy. I do understand that this forum should just be for DB though. Good racing!

Scarey...and even stranger...I 100% agree with him!!! Haha....

Can we keep the forum going without all the negative drama and the over discussing/promoting of "sponsorships".

Carter...I'm glad you're pleased so far with Caster cars and you seem like you'll enjoy them but lets get the forum back on track!

My name is Joe E. and I approve of this message. (did I get that right Coach?) haha

I certainly hope so. I'll be tuned in with the forecast that whole week
Itching to see what these ALPHA motors do. I got two, an A352 .23 and A852 .21, has anyone ran PL calibers at DB? I've been looking at youtube videos of the track. Love the spacing and layout.

Right now I have a bunch of AKA and JC Concepts tires. Had some Calibers never ran them though but really like tread design.

Cool right on Trevor, I'm heading home for lunch so I'll get the names, I'm not sure though really, I got them part as a package deal with my brushless truggy. I'll get back with you.
You ever find yourself going to sleep early so that the next day will come closer? lol random thought

Yes sir, I'll be 26. Well...weather permitting my wife is going to pay for the trip for me to come to DB on the 13th, race my birthday day that Saturday and hopefully my membership!
Besides her though I know I won't be getting anything.

Just putting a feeler out...

Would anyone be interested in running in Track Championship at Dirtburners? Basically it would be a year long points series not just 4-6 races, end of the year the winner is the Dirtburners Track Champion. If there is interest then I will put together rules/classes/etc.
