How slow and boring would that be.

Possibly a 2wd 19t class defently not a 4wd 19t or stock class.

Yea indoors there not to bad but who said we where running indoors lol. A 2wd 19t class round somewhere like kiddy would be good with the short straights and tight bends. But generally a slower motor makes the car easier to drive but ive found 4wd is so easy to drive you dont reallyneed a slower motor.

Also he is surgesting a stock class meaning 27t.

it wouldn't be that slow, and the faster driver ang car would always win. it wouldn't be about who has the lowest turn brushless, and the highest capacity lipo. You would spend under $500 for a complete setup, not $1000 to $2500.

on a track like bury metro a stock calss would be good because there isnt much grass to cause drag and slow the car down too much... full grass tracks would be different !

it would still be fun though to race stock class on that sorta track anywaysw .. indoors at teeside they race the tt-01 class and they arent fast but hell it makes some good and close racing

I know that slow racing is good fun close racing like mardaves etc but i reacon some people would get bored as you couldnt open it up down the straight.

i agree mate, its ace to wach cars that close.. for people who havnt got alot of money a stock buggy class offers a competative race for everyone, not just for the people who have the best cells, the best motors and stuff ..

plus u wouldnt need to replace tyres every 5 mins too ! lol

Im up for it, especially now what they have done to the track at teesside, i recon that a 19T would be faster than any other car.

Kiddy you would its not that long.

The one thing about quick motors is coming to the end of the straight and seeing who breaks the earliest and who gets the inside line into the corner i love high speed overtaking moves into the corner after the straight. I agree it would be good for beginers as a local series to me runs a 19t 2wd class at the border county league and its good for begginers i used to do it but stopped now.

I love going down the straight letting the other person get the inside line push them so they run out of time to break they run wide and you just go up the inside of them did that at the weekend.

I find it fun flying down the straight going past much slower cars really close to them, makes your heart skip a beat, you think you hit them
