Agree with you 100%. I don't know how much "serious" racing I'll be doing. If it's just at the club, I don't think they'll even mind that it has a engine with more displacement. To my understanding the .12 is for ROAR sanctioned events right? I was never clear on this, but the stock 2.5R motor is a .15 making it illegal for racing. Am I wrong?
The 1/10 stadium truck class seems non-existent at the moment. If I could get my car up to spec and performance, my local track said I could race with them truggies. Although I don't know how good I would fair against them.
Just don't have cash to drop on a new or even used truggy/buggy/1:8 scale. But would love to race.
If this is the case, I would upgrade to one of the mentioned motors and upgrade to a 250cc tank (direct drop-in). Have seen and heard many Rustlers with stock diffs/trannies and had no problems going with a bigger motor. Obviously not a .28 or anything.
Anyone know if GO has a drop in?
