If you can drive a Stock Truck, you can drive a 1/8th scale. Just a little faster and way out of control.

Hey if you guys seriously want me to run 4 mod i will. I just gotta get my one-way together and then its on. Gotta a BRUSHLESS that i can throw in their so maybe we can break a record of the car that caught the most air going in a straight line down the straight. And course the only possible track that you would have a shot at the record would be Clarkston.

Hey I remember running my buggy in the 2mod mains in Clarkston. I threw together a motor that was so fast that the car only touched the dirt about every 10 feet or so. My buggy tires were ballooned up like m/t tires. GOOD TIMES!!!

It's because not all of us are lab ratts running a clay maze that never changes. We like a challenge, we like using our brains to find a line for our next lap. Oh yeah it's also because of the rooster trails our cars throw that are sometime bigger than our real cars can throw.

I ran 4mod at the Clarkston track for the first time this past weekend, and it was some of the most fun I've had there. I'm not an electric guy, (I tried it once in college, but I was drunk), but I'm ordering one now. DP, I see now what you have been raving about, can't wait for it to get here.
