Hard to improve on your driving skills when you don't have to worry about breaking anything.

I think you're right to a certain extent. But if it increases interest in the 4wd buggy class, I'm all for it. In addition, I think the hackers will quickly learn that if they t-bone another buggy while coming in hot into a corner, their buggy will also flip and they'll lose time. It's unlike 4wd short bus where, you can nail another truck and still keep on going. Take for example the first turn after the triple on the outdoor track, I always get nailed and people just keep on driving. I would think people would be more conscious in 4wd buggy, as if they hit me, they'll also flip. It's just now, they might not break.

We'll see. I'm still a b44.2 guy because of the performance and all of the setup info. out there.

My suggestion for and ESC & motor:

ESC: HobbyWing Just Stock - $50
Motor: SchuurSpeed 17.5 - $84

Reel in the guys on the straight running the $300 ESC & motors, get ask in the pits if you're running boost.

Yup he ran them right over and snapped the arms on both in qual 2. It was a sad and good day for the ae quys with hartson winning. Still can't believe him and naoto over that quad and naoto snapping his arm. Oh well go associated.

Oh now that's a good idea. Who can hit each other harder to break the first part. I'm sure maifield and cav would love that.

If Cav didn't spin out neither would have gotten hit.

Or what are the rules in general i will be starting to race after the new year moneys tight to buy an esc and motor right now me and my wife just had a baby. i was looking at the viper vtx10r, lrp flow works team, orion r10 pro, or tekin rs gen 2. I cant decide which as i want to be able to use it when i am able to move up to mod 2wd sc. also trying to decide on a motor i like the revtech's on paper does or has any one on here used them? Also wondering what would be good tire choices for the indoor track? Any advice would be helpful thank you again everyone who has given me advice.

For the indoor track I like to run suburbs and bar codes. They have pre mounted ready to go bar codes in the shop, 30$ a pair. Also, for an esc I like to run speed passion stuff, but if u had to choose out of all of the those I'd go with the tekin. My friend Jeff Roy has one and he reversed polarity on it, what this means is u reverse the connection on the battery and fry your electronics, but back to what I was saying, Jeff did this and sent it back for the 120 day warrentie and got a brand new one for free. But also a lot of RC is preference so c'mon down to the track see what guys are running out there. Also the speed control has to be in "blinky mode" in stock. Good luck!
