Why buggies only in UK races?

Yokomo used to make one I think, based on the BC chassis.

I've got an RS4MT. It's why I returned to model cars.

They are ace trucks. Piss weak slippers though.

The upgrade RS4MT shocks are the best shocks ever created. Super smooth and no leakages.

Spinning out every corner is entirely down to the wrong tyres, changing the rears for a pair that grip would sort out the handling.

Aren't the Himoto ones all nitro? If you want a 4wd nitro truck check out the HPI MT2.

Himoto do an electric version as well but they look more toy quality than race quality, I've already got a 1/8th Hot Bodies LSP truggy and they don't allow nitro at the club where we race 1/10.

as mentioned before elsewhere on the forum I would love there to still be a truck class here in the UK. When I see the american mags I get so envious cause it looks so much fun.
I race at Bury metro where I know a few lads have trucks but dont appear very often. Might get myself a cheap 2nd hand truck of E-Bay and try to persuade them to dust off their trucks for a few club meetings. You never know but if their was 6- 10 of us they might let us run a little mini championship alongside the NW Regionals like which im told happened a few years ago

Yeh, if it got support then im sure it'd run. I bought one and had a play at Southport a few times and at Bury, Batley didn't like me taking it

I think running them at regionals isn't a great idea, there is the potential of diluting the classes. They should be for club level and perhaps a way of introducing new racers.

Bring yours down on sunday Chris, i'll have me XXT in tow. Those new jumps at Bury are callin out!!!

Maybe all the truck owners should have a one off bash somewere like CML or similar track with a bunch of jumps...!

Hi Craig,
Sorry but I sold mine, I got fed up of trying to find somewhere for the wide bugger to be kept at home, and the £££ notes were calling out.
