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.
