I think I need a crt.5, xxx4, or mt2 to turn laps until there's better race buggy setups to buy. I love my brushless/lipo mf2 but the track is too dry and loose most of the time for two wheel drive.

It is somewhat frustrating but remember, we're trying to run our apples with a bunch of oranges. Also keep in mind that all those 10th scale cars you listed are quite fragile compared 1/8 scale buggies and truggies. In addition to the rising costs of Nitro, there are several companies releasing "turn key" conversions and better, more reliable controllers are now becoming available. Hopefully, these factors will expedite the point in time that there are plenty of apples in the orchard and main times will settle in the 10 min. Truggy, and 15 min. Buggy range. There are always challenges and setbacks for those ahead of the curve but I will gladly deal with them in order to avoid the alternative; nitro fuel and all the wonderful things that accompany it.
