There is interest growing as more and more of us show up with 1/12 21.5 Foam LM cars. The interest is coming from off roaders so I'm wondering how to best guide someone to the class.
Any tips on how to get seasoned off roaders into this class without the sticker shock of an Awesomatix or wild esc's?
It's been a pleasure to wheel a pan car again.

My opinion; stick with LMP bodies and purple stripe tires with 21.5/17.5 motors. For me there is too much goofing around with GT bodies, bumpers, mounts, and gears just to run rubber tires. I have been running a kit Schumacher E5 setup since it was released and it is more competitive than my driving is. Plenty of wall hits and haven't broken anything, but did lose a side spring once.
