I've never in my entire life seen so much forum fighting about a $200.00 RTR Truck. from people who claim to have more then 2 decades of racing experience. I'm not pointing any fingers at anyone, so no one take any of this personaly. I'm just expressing how I feel about the whole thing, I see both sides of the racers. But doesn't mean I would have to agree with any of it. I understand why Mark made the decision he made. I feel that the slash had opened more racers to the hobby, and is helping to keep this fun HOBBY alive. By not running a seperate stock class, the kid that has saved all his allowance money now has to spend a fortune just to compete with everyone else. Do I find it fair, NO. Does anyone care, Maybe.
Just think about it, Mark isn't running a stock class for it, we just took money out of his pocket. That was a class that invited more people, now no longer around.
It makes me sick.

WELL JUST REMEMBER THE PEOPLE WHO ARE STARTING OUT CAN ALSO RUN SPORTSMAN.
PEOPLE THAT ARE WELL ROUNDED IN R/C SHOULD RUN WITH PEOPLE THAT SUCK THAT HAVE A STUPID SICK SET-UP AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE, AND SHOW THEM THAT ITS NOT THE CARS SPEED THAT MAKES THE DRIVER. ITS THE DRIVERS CAPABILITY TO OUT HANDLE THEM AND TRY TO AVOID THE RECLESS DRIVERS THAT CAN MAKE THEM THE BEST.THATS ALL YOU NEED.
SORRY SPEC GUYS ITS THE PEOPLE THAT WANT THE UNFAIR ADVANTAGE, TO TRY AND GET AN EASY WIN. BY CHANGING MOTORS ESC's RUNNING WRONG BATTERIES(ect.) NOW ITS RUN WHAT YOU BRUNG.
PROVE TO EVERY ONE THAT ITS NOT HOW STUPID FAST YOU CAN MAKE THE CAR ITs HOW MUCH FUN YOU CAN HAVE WINNING BY STAY CALM COOL AND FOLLOWING A FAST LINE!
IT TOOK EVERYONE AT RCHR KICKING MY ASS EVERYTIME I WENT THERE(JUST BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE FASTER MOTOR WAS BETTER) TO UNDERSTAND THAT ALL YOU NEED IS A FAST LINE NOT A FAST CAR.
STICK THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT!
