man that's some butt ugly web design

sorry, but I had to mention it.

kinda difficult to determine what's going on.

Their in the middle of a redesign over there. Looked pretty good before. So we'll see what the finished product will look like it's done.

I had back-ups when I went to rnd2. Didnt use them, but they were in my bag.

[FreeRideFrosty]

Since I guess I would be much closer to a budget racer than a full on racer... how close are the back up motors to race motors usually?? For example if I were running an EB modded OS .18 TM would most people have another TM as a backup or would I be able to survive with a 2.5 if I needed to?? Just kind of curious wht kind of motors dominate the MT class... (And if I change motors on the Revo that puts me in the unlimited class right??)

[Michowski]

the only way to seperate mt's from truggies is the center diff. Engine size has nothing to do with seperating the classes. Your gonna see a mix of both for back up engines. Most engine are whatever the person can afford.

Sweet!!
I cant wait to race again at Leisure and now after seeing the schedule, Im looking forward to racing in the pro series

Im going to try for round 1 or 2, then obviously round 4, and then maybe the finals too

Ok... so in the MT class you can run as much motor as you can handle. And michowski I know you and several others run the TM. Is that pretty much the popular race motor?? And what else are other people being successful running??

need a starter box (same with the p5), and a header... most likely need to do something with the crank. I don't know, I don't own a revo.


I'd go with the P5 if you can handle the power.

it's not what motor you have, it's how good of a driver you are. I would personally keep the 2.5 strapped in until you learn to handle the track better(not saying your bad, you know what I mean). Then once you can harness that power, move to a bigger motor.

Actually bigger motors make your laptimes worse when your not a good driver. Too much power just tosses you all over the place.

[FreeRideFrosty]

I understand that. I will be running the 2.5 at the track for a while... at least untill I am turning consistant laps (woohoo new amb). I am just kind of doing my research ahead of time to see what avenue I should go down. This way if a deal comes along I can snatch it up instead of having to wait when I am ready for a bigger motor...
