I have been racing for only a few years. I represent the newbs! I practically am one. I bought a RTR before going to the track. I chucked the electronics and bought electronics legal for VTA. I chucked the body and tire and bought a body and tires to run VTA. ... and the car sucked. I try to race and it's a joke. I see that my car isn't like all of the other cars and picked up a used XRAY chassis and I instantly start doing better. I could have run it in the "Run what you brung class" novice class but why? The chassis would suck in any other class. It's not my fault that the RTR cars are so different than the kits now. This isn't Y2K any more. There are plenty of cheap kit options from Chinese brands that are competitive. I would never recommend anyone to go through what I did and piss money down the drain buying garbage.
