A heavier 2wd car will also cope better with the insane amount of power that we have these days as well

Sooo, where do I get those hexagonal Kilo weight things from? Anyone know the ones I mean?

Reminds me of overtaking about £2000 worth of kit with my £300 RTR hyper 7 when i raced actually, was kinda fun to see the little light kyosho go over bumps like they were mountains with my hyper 7 right up it's backside with the suspension pumping away and the body like a speedboat on calm water My hyper was a right tank

You do know you don't have to use the fastest motors you can buy don't you?

i had an 8 year break from racing altogether, i used to use SCE's and 15 turn motors. I used to run the lightest car i could just to last!!! Now i'm constantly adding weight to the car!!!

trust me, compared to what i used to run, the amount of power we have now is INSANE!

....or perhaps i'm just crap

I like the look of the TC spec LRP motors, roughly the same power as a mediocre microwave, and 4 times the revs of an F1 engine, strapped to a 2wd, fun
