If you go back a page in the thread, you'll see the results from Saturday. There were 5 heats of stock short course 2wd, 4 of 2wd stock buggy, and 3 of 4x4 short course. There is usually one heat of sportsman too. A 2wd short course is probably the best bet to get familiarized again.

I seen that... just was wondering on a consitant basis I guess. I just dont want to jump into a pool of sharks being a little fish ya know? I know how frustrating it can be to have someone who is less experieneced running with drivers of more skill level. See that happen all the time. LOL.

Looking for a place to fall in, learn some stuff, and then assess my skills first and see if I am ready to jump in with the big fish.

I was also wondering how much differently a 4x vs a 2x is going to be aside from the obvious. Is the future of this sport mostly trending towards the 2x races? And also... why would one want to run stock vs mod in 2x SC??? How far can the truck be modded and still considered "stock" or is that all just in the simple 4 rules on page one meaning motor, battery, ESC timing, and tire?

Stock 2w sc is the easiest to fall into there is a great mix of talent and fairly simple to get the hang of. For the size of the track mod doesn't make alot of difference just more out of control. 4x4 is a whole nother animal wicked fast and can be a handfull but hell of a lot of fun if you can hang onto it. Personally I'm a big fan of 2w buggy for learning curve if you can drive that and stay out of trouble you shouldn't have much issue with anything.

The best way to get back in is to show up on race day and race. A lot of good people here and they are always willing to help.
Stock sc and stock buggy are the biggest classes. There hasn't been a mod sc in quite some time so stock sc would really be the only option. Only difference really between stock and mod is motor. Make sure you get a 17.5 for stock and your set.
I would recommend staying away from 4wd for a beginner. It's a lot of motor and 4wd doesn't guarantee traction or better handling.
And don't worry about being in the way. Everyone was in the way at one time.

So the stock motor I got on my RTR B4.1 (Reedy 3300, a 13.5) wouldnt be allowed?

That said, finally got the gearing figured out. 87/20. I would've gotten a 18, but they didn't have any in stock. I can run a whole 5200 mah battery down without worrying about temps.

The stock class is limited to no less than 17.5 turn motors.

Looking forward to Saturday! Planning on being there for stock buggy and stadium truck.

Speaking of stadium truck, only a couple weeks til the 22t comes out! I wonder how much bigger the class will be after that.

How about a "B" main and a "C" main Stock SCT $1 bucket?????

Throw a dollar in the bucket of your choice.....
If you enter and you finish highest in that main from the bucket group, you win the bucket......

This gives the less than "A" main drivers something to shoot for in this large format..???

Thoughts?
I can handle the buckets if need be.....

On a similar subject, I still would like to see a marshall-less race sometime! Jimian is the expert, but if I remember correctly, it was $2 before the mains, run the track backwards, and either 50% of the pot or a trophy/prize went to the winner.

We didn't have 4x4 short course at the time that could just drive over everything though, so I'm not sure how that would be handled.

I dont know if the series thread is the right place to bring this up... Just throwing the idea out there.
