I won this weekend not because i beat the fastest losi but because i out strategized his ass, and he admitted it himself, he cannot go hard for ten full minutes. i pushed him the entire race, never letting him get more than 10sec in front of me when he bobbled i was on him like white on rice , even got in front of him once or twice. 9:45sec he dumped and i didnt.........I WIN!!! i would much rather straight up beat him but end result is i won the race.



i admit its hard to pass up a truck thats 80% built, decent priced and runs great BUT it is not made in america (dont care what they say, no adult in america is going to assemble and entire truck for that price!!!) so you basically have some 8yr old 3rd world kid assembling a toy with ill fitting parts!! if you think for 1 minute that you are going to be able not touch it or upgrade it your have been sadly mislead.

Now the hyper , all im going to say is you have wasted your time if you plan on being competitive with the higher ups in the food chain. if your group is not super fast and on that level than you will have good luck with it. fact is there are no hyper's or jammin's running competetively in the national circuits and there is a reason. Shocks are only 10mm, jumps bad and you cant get parts. once you have fixed those problems you still have to figure out how to make it jump and turn!! Sorry my friend but the 230.00 you have just spent is not going to get you very far. i promise i can get a stock SC10 to run circles around a hyper all day long!!




Well i only run club races really as for fast guys i run with some of them in a pro truggy class im competive with them just starting out in that class during the outdoor season. Its 90% driver mostly.

I know about lower runtime and wear not real bad though/harder on escs from running a 1/8 E truggy thats nothing new.

I know about the losis from owning their 1/8 buggy/truggys the wear is a big downside . I wish there was more manf that make 4x4 that are made for racing insend of just two

Oh associated /losi is not made here ethier.
