I think you will be wrong here. If the C4 does well at National everyone is going to jump ship and go mm because that is what this hobby is about. Everyone always chasing the next best thing.

I could be wrong but we will see.

lol, Losi won nationals with an RM car. It still makes me smile. I have seen locals try MM because their car could convert and it was hillarious. Kyosho, durango and TLR were terrible. If we all start racing on sugar, carpet and astro, then you will be correct.

Well it will be interesting. I know for us locally if Cav does well and then keeps racing MM and practicing at his new home track with MM that entire place will convert. That's just what people do in this hobby.

We have yet to really see a MM dominate on a US dirt track. I think that is the difference. Everyone knows own that on turf it is proven but here in the states not so much.

well, yeah, lol. I am sure everyone at cav's home track will do what he does. Good thing too, because that is his job. To gain followers and make AE money. We are very heavily AE b4 here in AZ. I am not sure if that is because of maifield or that the car is just better on our tracks.

He did. But who did he beat? I am being serious, lol. I cant find the race results. Were the top 2wd drivers there or just AE drivers and locals?

Maifield second, Hartson third. Truhe and Evans were also in attendance.

ah, ok. So evans was there. Is Truhe still their top teir driver? I often see him B maining it when I look at results. Normaly Evans and Phenda are the goto A-Main drivers or am I missing it. Didnt know AE swept the 2wd mod class, nice. I knew Cav and maifield went 1-2, didnt know hartson was third.


And from what I have read, that track was pretty high bite. Thus, MM working. Have Cav come to my home track and try to run MM against the RM losi/durango guys, lol.

Dustin should be at SIGP. On a normal club night OCRC is a med-high bite track but with the amount of laps and moisture in the track at the Surf City race they can pretty easily run slicks.

yeah, I dunno about the SIGP. I might watch, but it was expensive last year and I suck too much to even think I can make a decent showing, lol.
