Shinner,

More tried and true advice says run what the fast locals run. They can assist with setups and parts in a pinch. There will undoubtedly be a bunch of Jammin's running eventually, but there's already a devoted group using LSP's. They know them and can offer experienced firsthand advice. The same is true for Revo. It comes down to the style of truck/truggy you want to race with, and your budget.

Hey Bruce, I guess you don't remember Chris (Shinner) from Leisure hours last year. He bought a stock revo, was consistantly in the top three spots in the A and then with new tires he spanked everyone. I was amazed at his driving.

I bet he could wheel a new, stock, LSP and not break anything all season, that's how flawless his driving was with his revo.

So....if you were to categorize any of the MT drivers here as "national level" it'd be him, not "us" or "you" IMO

ok once again in the end it wont matter what truck you have but rather on your driving skills and how much you practice. Revo can and has won national events, lsp and crt are both more then capable of winning as long as the right driver is behind the controller. IMO I would read about what characteristics each truck has and get the one that you think will benefit you and just practice A TON once you get the truck. Do that with any of the trucks mentioned here and you will come out on top almost garunteed.

Hey mich i totally agree with what you said. It is about 98% driving skills, but that extra 2% being the truck could help out alot depending on what you get. Lsp/Revo/Jammin/Mayhem etc....

Hey tex Thanks for the props. Im surprised anyone remembered me. It is true that i had a stock revo and did pretty well, and soon as i got some tires i did better. Smile
Can't wait to race again at the new place, any ideas of the progress being made there?

if you dont mind spending a little bit of money the duratrax ice charger is sweet. If your more on a budget the pirahna charger is also good.
