lol, that doesent tell me anything...lol, should i get a 2wd or 4x4
Well, if you like hammering the throttle and drifting the corners then I'd go 4x4, if you like honing your skills with set-up and trigger control then I'd go with 2wd.

I think I know which way your gonna go....Just Sayin....LOL!

JJ, that's great, we sure missed having you last year and we look forward to having you race with us again this year. What classes are you planning on running?

What ever are the most popular :p
I am really a fan of 2wd Buggy. A mod class would be a blast there. I know Matt, Brandon, Tyler and a couple other guys have them.. Would be a great class to get together.
Other than that
Maybe
Mod 2wd SC
Mod/13.5 Stadium Truck (if its not dead up north)
1/8 E Buggy

Just depends on whats running I guess.

Heck that new Traxxas VXL 4x4 Pede looks awesome, Monster Truck ? LOL

It looks pretty cool. But the chassis lay out in my opinion is not good. Compared to the jamin truck. Which I don't like how the battery is mounted in that, but the losi has the motor practically hanging off the side of the thing. And The angles on the front and rear drive shafts seems extreme. I know they do that in nitro so that the motor can sit in the middle. But the center of mass will be way off looking at the design. Even with a three cell lipo I don't think you have enough batter weight to off set the motor, radio, and servo all on the same side of the chassis.

What's this I spy????????? This seems to be a all white chasis. Hummmmmmm what could that be?
I know it can't be a blitz, because JJ did all he could with his hpi sct and just seemed to be lacking that special some thing, so he sold it and bought a sc10 right? So what could that be????

Hey I still have my Sc10.. just got this ESE to try it out. AMS will be my 1st run with it. I have to admit it seems really sharp. Shocks are awesome !! They could teach A.E how to build shocks.

Ok, don't laugh, this is my very first paint from scratch body, the green was suppose to be chartreuse yellow, but didn't spray white backing before I spray the blue, so it seems that yellow and blue makes green....LOL! I tried to get a little to fancy. I know it looks silly, but kinda cool too. I'll definitely get most colorful at AMS.......

Yes, it's the jconcepts body, very low profile, had to re-arrange a few things so it would fit right. I'll throw some stickers on it, maybe that will tone it down a little.....lOL!
