Stock Truck Purchasing Delimma

[glassdoctor]

Hey... I'm back hee hee.

I vote for the Losi Novak BL RTR for what it's worth even though I run a T4 myself. There really isn't much difference between the trucks... it's 90% driver anyway.

Since I'm running the races I made the Novak 13.5 legal for racing. We actually have several of the Losi RTR trucks running in the novice class and it's working very well. They even come with DSM radios IIRC.

Rusty: there's nothing wrong with the truck but if you really want a race truck... I can't recomend a Traxxas. You won't be able to ask for setup help and you won't really know if the truck is "good" or not. Also the Rustler doesn't come with good race rubber. At least the T4 and XXT come with "race" tires that are usable on the track.

I'm not sure what you have for batteries but that's another "issue". I got lipos green-lighted for mod classes but it's not ok for stock classes. I have some extra 6 cell packs you can use if you don't have any.

If you run novice... lipos will probably be ok unless it looks like you are too fast. And for stock class, maybe you can run a lipo/emoli turn down the power just a bit to make sure it's equal to the other guys.
