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 |
It's nice to hear someone say something positive about the trucks. They don't seem to be so popular (with the pure racers?) As a new racer forgiving sounds better to me and then if I like it maybe get into more serious stuff?
I'm looking to have fun, especially as I'm just starting and the trucks are popular at the 2 local clubs. If it was indoor, I'd be looking at the minis as these look fun and not too expensive and have a good turn out at a club 15 miles from me.
