Sad thing here Bruce, the guy asks for advice on HIS truck and HIS radio. You right away bash his decision tells him he has no chance in **** and he needs to go out and buy a Revo. I don't think your sponsors would be happy with this attitude!!! YOu are suppose to be helpful, take a hint from some of local sponsored guys, they are always there to take the time and help out and answer questions. (Joe T. , Sonny, and Mike C, all took time out last Sat to help me with an issue, that is what sponsored drivers are suppose to do.)[I]
Maybe try and help the guy out!!!!!! BY answering his questions and giving advice, not crush his dreams and excitement of his new sportmax. There are alot of people that are just in this for fun, they dont have to win all the time. Alot are in this hobby to make friends and enjoy the hobby. I for one have more fun in the pits talking **** with the other racers alot I consider friends now. YOu figure on a typical big race, you maybe are on the track 45 minutes or so ((3) 5 min quals, and a 30min a main (if your lucky)) and you might be at the tracj 12-14 hours. So most of that time is enjoying the hobby and talking with fellow racers. It would be a long 12-14 hours if you had no friends to talk to not to mention the train ride there and back.
SO maybe you should think about that before telling some guy his stuff is crap, and just offer some help. Also the guy might be like 15 or so and has a limited budget not all of us have such a famous past and have infinite dollars.
SO in closing, To Rond3L enjoy your sportmaxx, upgrade when something breaks and budget allows, but most of all enjoy the hobby and make a few friends. Thats the approach I took, and I love this hobby and have made alot of friends. If you ask me thats better than a bowling trophy for racing toy cars anyday

A friend will help you move, but a REAL friend will help you move a body.
