What's a good electric offroad class for someone just starting to race? Any suggestions on either a buggy or stadium truck, 2wd 4wd etc... I wouldn't mind going to the indoor track this winter, but I currently don't own any "race" type electrics (mini-t & Emaxx) and the electric indoor dates appear to be a better fit into my weekend schedule vs the nitro dates. Also, I'm not looking to spend big $$, so the brushless/lipo route probably isn't for me at this point. Any good RTR's on the market or is everything good in a kit form?

Heck, I think a 1:18 class would be a blast! Slow and steady wins the race, right! 5 minutes qualifiers would be like 3 laps for my Mini T, but it would still be fun!

Leisure hours last year ran 19 turn truck and a Mod class. 19 turn truck is the most popular. Mod is where u would run a buggy or truck against people with faster and more expensive motors, generally around 12 turn. A stock motor is around 27 turns. Consider this if looking at rtr's and try to get a motor size to suit the racing u want to do. The associated or losi both have nice trucks. the associated is the most popular at leisure.

Right now I'm looking at the Associated T4RS as my first choice.

Git-R-Done and start racing the "novice" class. Once that becomes easy for you...sell your truck and move into a FT ride and run 19T. After that move to mod.

parts are interchangeable with the T4 and GT2 and the GT2 is cheaper by almost like 70 bucks

Brushless motor and li-poly batterys are the future of electric rc racing. The ability to run a 20 min main is just awsome. Bernies planning on running like a 10 minute main for the brushless class. that would give a driver time to come back from a mistake or getting taken out. Im looking at getting the novak 4300 and super sport for $160 even though theycall it stock it runs about like a 19 turn then add a lipo battery and it accelerates probly 1/3 faster. Sounds good to me.
