What I'm trying to say is if you have no to little idea of what you are doing, the differences are minimal. But if you can actually run a consistent race without crashing more than once or twice and have the slightest idea of how the car works, then the 2.0 will be THAT much better, seconds faster per lap, and in a 30 minute main that could be the difference between battling for the lead and being lap traffic. The 2.0 is also much easier to drive so you can run more consistent races. Stop trying to argue how the 1.0 is just as competitive, your just digging yourself into a deeper and deeper hole.







well im a first year driver driving, a truggy but i did race buggy last year but i dont crash a whole lot really im just not that constant.

i drive the 1.0 t somewhat, hard it helps that im using the 1/12 wheelhexes its pretty stable intill it gets rough on the track. for now i would say im a average driver with, the truggy but i can run with some guys.

i been in this hobby for about 8 years not in offroad though.

i dont ride the pipes to much at all.
