Yeah, but they also allowed boost, so it didn't make much of a difference. Brandon was whooping up with his boosted 17.5 for a while, and my 13.5 has WAY too much power.

After driving my SC for the first time in months last night, 17.5 is dog slow.

lol

17.5 in a lightweight buggy is faster than in a heavy SCT.

Remember, the ESC has to be on Blinky Mode, no boost/timing.

Freddy i think your too good of a driver for that class, i understand you wanna battle with Royce but i think your gonna have to go to him for that battle, Mod buggy is where you belong.....

Do it!!!!! Its fun as heck and very competitive.....

We're all gunning for Royce Berrios, he's the king of the Spec 2wd Buggy class, he's won the tittle the past two Grand Prix, if I'm not mistaken...

Hey Freddy, I just want to let you know if I run 2wd I'm gonna run my 13.5.
I appreciate the offer to run your spare 17.5 motor. I wanted to let you know in case you wanted to loan it to someone else.

Hobbyshop closed tonight, although Brandon will be there so there are still some guys practicing on the track.

Pete Kosciuszek had a stroke earlier today, so wish him and his family luck and prey for them!
