Not many pros run there vehicles box stock .



And Ty for you information who was in the finals ran his D8 buggy totaly stock so there is no need for mods to be done for the club racer to be competitive.

Look i'm not brand loyal and will buy whatever car AE , Losi ,Mugen etc and have owned most and all have there weak and good points and i enjoy them all , but this just shows that manufacturers can produce world championship vehicles for a great price and should force other manufacturers to reduce the prices of future kits . I think HB will be a winner with new racers coming into the hobby .
Lets see a new racer to the hobby walks into a hobby store and sees a racing buggy for $850 ( K car ) and another for $370 which has world champion on the box , which do you think he will buy
