I think if you're just trying racing out atm and not sure if it's something you'd enjoy, then go for it
Thanks for your thoughts! I have been racing on-road for the past 3 months in a silver can class with a wobbly tt-01. I think it is something I'd like to do for awhile. I'm just not sure of the 500 dollar investment in a car. The fast guys at our track use mi1's and older model cars. I'm not sure if anyone using a top of the line car in the VTA class. As it is I have driven with the VTA guys with a tuned VTA car and I am approximately 4 laps behind them after a five minute main. So all the performance in a car won't help me right now. I really need to become a better driver. Now with all that said I am sure the bd7 black JMRCA version could help me but I wasn't quite prepared to pay for the top of the line car. I've really been gnawing this all over and trying to make a decision soon. I want to be up and running within a week. I have everything but the car at the moment.
