For the average person who gets into RC and gets either a 2.0 or 1.0, its not going to make much of a difference. They will be riding pipes and spinning out the entire time. I know in my first year racing I couldn't tell what one setup adjustment would do compared to another, and after that first year I finally started to go to that next level where I knew what I needed to do. 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.

You said it right there with consistency. For the 1.0 to be competitive it has to be driven so on the edge that almost all consistency goes out the window. Where with the faster and easier to drive 2.0 you can sit back a little more and drive at a comfortable pace. The 2.0 just handles obstacles so much better and is so much more forgiving. So while the fast lap may be similar between the two, average lap will be better with the 2.0(it should, I know it is for me). It reacts better, steers better, jumps better, handles bumps better, accelerates better, etc...

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.

Doesn't matter if its your first year driving truggy, I raced a Jammin SCRT at a big race, my first time driving the truck and I lead most of the main and ended up with 2nd place in Intermediate 4wd.

You keep saying 1/12 wheel hexes, there is no such thing! It's either +2mm or +1/2" and 0 offset wheels (+1/2" with 1/2 offset makes it illegal).

By your driving style, the 2.0 would fit you perfectly. You dont crash very much but you aren't consistent with the 1.0, the 2.0 will make you consistent. Seems like you actually know what your doing and would really benefit from one, your just holding yourself back from your true potential by running the 1.0.

i meant 1/2 offset for, now im just learning on how to drive the 1.0 t i have got it to handle better. next year im gone to be getting a new truck like i said .

im getting faster with it .

what about the kyosho st rr and the rc8t!...they are the same dimensions as the 1.0 and they are champion trucks!....yes the 2.0 is better!...but i bet jared tebo or ryan mayfield can win with the 1.0!...like he keeps saying we arent trying to be adam drake!...we just wanna run and have fun!....not be the bigshot with the badest truck outhere!

thats what i try to do have fun ! if i dont win big whoop.
are you sure about the kyosho st rr being the same dimensions ?

i have seen one of them and there wide !

i pm you back by the way.

i just dont like getting blown away though lol.

I run Dyn Maxlife with green and black - love it

Do I need the plug in the tank to pass through teching or can I leave it out?

Unless your going to the worlds i think you'll be ok

You should have it in. I know a few races that Ive been teched they were pretty picky with the clunk. Why are you not using the clunk?

I think he's talking about the extra piece of plastic in the tank that you can remove

Unjust raced an rc pro event 2 weeks ago and he was saying that the new losi tanks will pass tech without the plug unless you have a "hotwheels track" of extra tubing! I have measured it and it seems to be legal without the plug.

Last race I was teched at, I was about 147cc with the plug in. Would have been ~152 with it out, and would have failed tech. Fuel line is as short as possible.

They will be teching at this event.

You are correct sir.

Thatnks Frank, this is what I was looking for.
