So in short, I am pretty confident that my track would not be good for MM, because even the sponsored guys wont run MM there. One of the local TLR guys also has both the MM and RM car at the ready, but run RM. So before you go MM, and spend all of that cash, make sure you have a track where MM would be beneficial. I personally think if you are to only own 1 car, RM is the way to go on most tracks. If you race a lot and travel a lot, then buy 2 cars. One for MM and one for RM.
The MM craze is going on at my track and the fast guys seem to be switching. That said my blinky 17.5 B4.1, my son racied it in 2wd mod in blinky mode. His laps and times would have been TQ in blinky by .01 shy of a full lap ahead of the next car (a MM Losi) and won the main against all of those MM cars.. I am 2 secs /lap slower than my son driving the same car. IMHO, MM/RM unless you are one of the regular top 5 guys in your class, save your money and practice practice practice.
