I want to thank EVERYONE at Proving Grounds for all the info and insight you have given me and my friend in the last couple weeks. We both went and bought trucks and you will see us with our Slash 4x4 soon. Thanks again everyone.

What time does the track open up tomorrow? I saw on the virus web site it says 5:00pm to 10:00pm, but was not sure if this was race times or actual track hours. Thanks.

I have to work every saturday till 3 but im only a few minutes away so thats not to bad, if i miss one heat race not a big deal. There are lots of us who still have to work saturday. That gives a chance to get there still. The late nights arent ideal but ill still be there every saturday even if we dont change. I wont be able to race wednesdays anymore shortly here cause ill have to work till 7 every weekday so that only leaves saturdays, if you start sooner than 3 i wont be able to race at all.

Darkside is the most expensive, Diggity is more reasonable. But you purchase a body the paint colors you want, then send it to them with a check and they paint it and ship it back to you.

Best thing to do is contact them and discuss what your looking for and get some pricing. :thumbsup:

I run 2000 in the rear on my buggy. Make sure you check those smart diffs often for grease. I had them in the front and center on my buggy and the grease was gone in one race day. I went back to the stock diffs. Search on RCTECH for setup help on the truggy, also you can try different springs in the smart diffs. Losi's website has a lot of info on what springs to what as far as cornering on and off throttle and exiting corners. Hope this helps, see you at the Rising!

What would be a good motor to go with my gtb for my b44. It has a 6.5 motor in it right now and its way to much for me to learn how to drive it smooth.

How long did it take you to get decent at SC? Why would stadium truck be any different? Patience and time it will come to you if you give it a chance. :thumbsup:

Personally I think this is nonsense. There is no way an SC will handle as well as a Stadium truck.. You need to set the thing up. How much you want for it?

Why is no one pimpin' Andy Curran? "In this area" would mean Andy and Andy alone. Norlock is on the other side of the state and Diggs is impossible to get a hold of unless you go through Tim or Apple. 02CooperS for the win punks.
