While also looking online I found out that there's 2.4GHz radios now, brushless motors/esc are the normal and it seems that the stadium truck isn't. Does my old stuff have any value or is it best just to start over? I can post some pics if that helps. Are you guys gonna be racing tomorrow, if so I was planning on stopping by to check it out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
If you wanted to race again I would get a 2wd short course truck or 2wd buggy. Those are the most consistent classes. The other classes seem to flare up and die down rather quickly. The cooler weather means more people racing so your stadium truck might have it's own class again.
RCHR is great at letting everyone race, if you wanted to run your Losi. Probably throw you in with 17.5 short course, you can start knocking the rust off your driving skills before you commit to a new vehicle. Also give you the chance to try a few peoples rides see what class interests you.
Probably easier to start over just from a parts support point of view. Your gonna break sooner or later, parts for newer cars will be much easier to get.
As far as the value of your gear ebay would be your best price guide. Most people regret selling their old stuff at some point. lol. You may not be able to post pics, I think RC Tech makes you wait until you have several posts. Easier to bring it by the track, Mark or John would be able to help you determine what you have and what it's worth.
Yes they do race on Saturdays, turnout has been a little light lately but it will pick up.
