10kman · **Vehicle types for high speed runs..... -** 10.03.2007, 07:27 AM

I've had the speed bug hit me again (it comes and goes), and I thought my 18T would do the trick. For whatever reason, the lust I had for the truck going super fast isn't cutting it, I need more.

My huge hurdle with that scale is the size, it is challenging to get stuff to fit how you want, and get better performance all in one nice package.

So I was thinking that my speed fix can be achieved with a different scale, but was wondering what scale/style is the de facto standard for high speed running. My instincts say that maybe the 1/10th touring car would be great for runs and give me enough room for more power when needed.

Any opinions to throw at me? I know that any scale/type can be used for speed runs, but rather than use a truck for example that really isn't "made" for speed running, I'd rather use something that is built for the speed freak in me.

If it matters, I really just need to break 100 MPH and I think I'll be happy.....for now.

Thanks all,
