after this season I'm going to AMT or scale also. I want more competition, that's the main reason. I have a ton of fun with the SMT but if only 4-5 guys are fast that's not really showing me where I would sit with the main crowd of scale guys.

I'm thinking Xray or the new MBX6 if it comes out. Maybe an SP2, not sure. I'm not loyal to any one brand so my options are very open.

Rocco, you should buy a TTR,. Then you, mikey, and GQ Johnny could be the only guys running it this side of the M'sippi. Keep the Savage alive!Big Grin

Congrats rocco on choosing 1/8 scale. I'm right behind ya, lol. I'm putting the revo aside and getting a bug when the winter race season starts back up at the end of the year.

sweet! that car looks like it really only has 5 tanks on it. When you said "ebay with only 5 tanks" I was like "aw naw, another "only 5 tanks deal" but looks like that's legit.

thats not true for me. 2 tanks into the hellfire during break in and the whole bottom of the chassis was scratched up pretty good. To much breaks on the street and fast stopping = drag on the ground. That was before everything was adjusted also tho.
