Never going to get on radar!!!

I have a set of hpi tarmac busters, but put the stockers back on last week because they are taller and I was trying to clock top speed. I already decided the tarmacs need to go back on

The stockers won't have much grip on the pavement.

Update:As of last night I have straightened the chasis, replaced ANOTHER A frame, and removed the dogbones from the center linkage forward. Took it for a little test run and damn this thing is like a whole new buggy!

I don't know how the Baja guys control it! It has an amazing a mount of power to the rear wheels now and at high speeds straight is the only thing you can do if you don't want the ass to outrun the front.

I am waiting on my parts to take her back to 4wd, but for now this is going to get interesting

It's all in the technique.

Yeah throttle open throttle closed thats why 4wd rules. Point and go.

That's the truth!

If you have a super powerful and quick servo with lipo battery, you can do drift on it on rwd I'm talking about continuous drift around sharp hair pins

I wonder if Ken Block has ever driven an RC?

I love 4WD. But I love the challenge of a 2WD. Sharpens your driving skills, for sure.

For sure! I've had a few drift cars. A 4WD and a 2WD. Fun stuff.

Doubt it. Lucky bastard gets to drive awesome 1:1 cars.

 

[Guantanamo Joe]

Surely, after all the RC Cars painted with his theme and with his markings, he has driven an RC or 2

Question is- was he any good at driving them? ha ha ha

It certainly does but I get the shits sometimes when no matter how careful you are on the gas the B otch still spins out. Lol.

I think tires play a big role in it. I'm not sure if you're still running the stock tires but they don't have the greatest amount of grip. I'd like to find a set for street running.

I run these tires... I'm no Pro but I love these tires... they work good for me
