Most are running their outdoor setups, rules maybe set in the future, just seeing how it goes for now.

Sorry bud you definitely didn't drive the proper car. The car I Drove was awesome. Thank you Alex Valdes for letting me try it.

Junk..........even that "Good car" look horrible! They all looked like shit! I find it funny how people refuse to run slicks cause "it isn't real off road" but go up there and run on carpet...........I guess having brown carpet kinda makes it look like dirt? Oh but wait, the rear tires have tiny pins on them, so that constituents "real off road!" I watched every car traction roll almost every other lap, and if you ran 17mm ride height, that was WAAAAYYYYY too high! I'd take inconsistencies from week to week over that carpet BS any day!

Sorry pal. That car I drove was awesome and didn't do anything stupid or traction roll once.
Didn't feel like flypaper crap or slimy at all. 😀
You drove the Losi and obviously that don't work on carpet. Too bad you can't hide the crap out of it to tune the track for the car. Lol

Why are people talking about carpet and jumps when this is a dirt offroad thread?

Anyone want to buy an SCTE? It is a 1.0 but has an MIP conversion. Lots of extra parts. PM me if interested.
