I am practicing to get better. it is what it is I guess it's just going to use a lot of tires. my front tires last a while no problem up front. if I go in scrc Friday night for practice I guess I have about 1 hour runtime on the car by then the rear tires are pretty much shot. I see other buggies running on slicks that do pretty good out there. I put my slicks on and for some reason my buggy slides all over the place. oh well just need more practice.
