Good point! I wouldn't race until getting a good amount of practice in, but ultimately that would be the goal.
They have one class called limited 2wd buggy and another class called mod 4wd buggy. Now I just have to figure out what limited 2wd buggy means ... brushless or no? if I want to run brushless, does that push me to 4wd mod? Then again, I guess running a brushed (gasp!) motor could be possible...
