General truggy/arena talk

[Mr. Tune]

Looks like I'm making a trip to al's on tuesday...

[snakebite46]

Maybe 610-625 with enough haggling. If you wanted to throw in your own motor, electronics and tires, you could probally get close to 175-200 for those things.

what rims hex is it again? 17mm?

Sounds like a good truck. Maybe it'll be super strong like the savage maybe not...I wanna see one! I wanna drive one!!

[Mr. Tune]

I got this feeling (95% sure) that when I go to al's on tuesday, if they have one, I'm taking it home. If so, I'll have it with at the bash on the 28th to break in and at the track on the 29th to race.

Yes 17MM

Very nice. I will definitely check it out at the bash if you get it... (Damn I want to run Truggy... I will wait for a good deal on a LSP, Hellfire... something along those lines.)

you might do ok

[FreeRideFrosty]

Depends... If you are a good driver and the thing is tuned right you can still run well. If you are not a good driver you will be screwed. (The same for just about every class... just a little moreso since they are faster) Though I truely doubt it will challenge a podium spot though anything is possible. Just drive consistant lines, master the triple double, as well as how to get into the turns after the straight and you should be ok. You can run slower but if you don't crash still do well.

(I will be beginning my search for an LSP or something comparable now. If you guys have any connections let me know. Roller + motor is good as I will just run the MT and the truggy on different days. I can deal with the pain of swapping electronics for now...)

[Mr. Tune]

Got a call from rocco less than an hour ago. He was at hobby town in st. charles, and they have 2 in stock. I told them to hold 1 as I'm on the way. I just got home, nuked some left over pizze and ate real quick.

I'm off to go pick up my hellfire! I'll be back later with some pics .

[snakebite46]

Damn Tune, first you beat everyone getting a 360 and now you get a Hellfire before any of us.

[Obsessive R/C]

Dan if u are looking for a truggy take a look at the TTR ST-1, it comes as an RTR with a .28 motor, just put in ur own electronics and u are good to go. Ryan Maifield ran an RTR with a diff motor and his own electronics this weekend. All he did was go through all the screws to make sure they were all loctited and he was winning the A main by a lap before a ripped antenna wire knocked him out with 2 minutes to go.

I will probably be getting one soon

That Hellfire looks bad ass!!! I opened it before tune even got there!!! LOL!!!
