I started running each basically when they first came out. 2wd short course with a 2wd slash then sc10 until the rt5 came out. Ran that until the slash 4x4 came out. Then just sold that for the Jammin but still the same class.
I always was a stadium truck guy but short course really has replaced that.
It is alright Freddie. When I run now, 4x4 sct is the biggest class. 2 heats last week, since John and Kevin joined in(still not a great turnout but apparently every place is slow).
One thing I really like about sc(aside from being much more realistic) is the fact that when you change cars you dont have to get new tires/wheels. All but associated use 12mm now. So now when/if I get another 2wd sc it will be hpi or kyosho. Replacing all the tires is just to much $$$$. That is also the great thing about 8th scale. Buy what ever car you want and all the wheels fit.

Hey Tom,
I'm just messing with you
Show up and run whatever class you'll have fun in...
So who's racing tomorrow?? I'll have my 4wd and 2wd ready...only running one or the other, I want to race on Friday too.
Hey Mark,
If we pay our first class rate on Wednesdays, can we pay second class rates on Fridays??

Freddie always likes busting my balls. It is alright, since we are basically the same speed the trash talking just makes racing more interesting. Freddie last time you called me out for buggy and truck I think I beat you in buggy(you were just behind me) and you beat me in truck with me right behind you too.
That probably was the last time I even drove my rb5 though. Hey dont you have an sc10? Maybe this time you can bust that out and I can find a 2wd sc and we can have some fun with the OG SC driver.
Oh since I dont think I am going to run stadium truck anymore. Does any one need tires? Can hook them up with some good deals on New DD, Carvers, Pink Tapers.

Ive taken the front drive shafts out of a Vintage Ofna Pirate, removed the center diff, changed wheels added a SCT bumper here and there, and a SCT open wheel body. This car rocks. Oh, and no tranny troubles..

It handled pretty damn well seeing as how it was finished at the track. It's got a lot of scoot for a 17.5, maybe it's time for me to upgrade.
