The reason for looking at nitros and the trucks is that they are popular at both tracks near me. I'm looking at doing this on a fun basis so I'm not too worried about the future at the moment. I'm just looking to get into racing now and then maybe get serious later on.
Looks like electric will be best for me as the missus is not willing to be my pit crew 
Would racing a truck mess me up that much? Maybe I should look for an indoor circuit if the 2wd class isn't popular? |
I raced my short course up EPR on sunday and had a wicked time, was great fun
there were about 16 of us in total I think in the short course class, so is certainly popular.
I had practiced with a B4.1 up at EPR and I can say that it was slightly harder to handle round the bends, so agree that a better driving style is required......however having said that, sold my b4.1, b4 and b44 and all that I've decided to keep and ultimately race with outdoor/offroad is the short course.
Short course is certainly more forgiving for a newbie on the track, and ultimately our end goals are the same....to have fun, short course class is certainly that.
You mention indoor racing, would that be the tam mini come mardave classes? I've just invested in both these classes, but can't feedback on racing them yet....mardaves are ridiculously cheap as are the spares to go with them, check them out on ebay
