He should be, as long as you have the right motor for the class you want to run in (as long as the ESC can handle it), and as long as you have the right tires then you will be fine. Now if you want to make the truck faster then you might want to look at set-ups on Losi’s site, and/or see what people are running out at the track as you will find a fast set-up that works for you. Also I know some one who has that truck and does really good with it, so once you get the hang of running the truck (or any car) then you will slowly become faster and faster.

Just go race it the way it is and while your there get chassis/suspension setup tips from some of the fast guys there. That's the best way to get the best setup for a certain track.

Losi's site will be helpfull to an extent but unless they have a setup for LHR then I would just ask the fast guys at LHR.

Even if there aren't any MF trucks there they should have the basic setup knowledge, enough to give you a decent start anyway.

Use the Adam Drake setup listed on the Losi site , use it to the T , be sure to get BLUE BUGGY FRONT SPRINGS , or it will not work well . Thats the setup most run over in indaina for the past couple years on a urface similar to leisure .

No offence, but if he is going to race, he should just repair what he has, get better at driving, THEN think about getting a "Jammin" or "8ight". All either one of those will do, is hit the wall faster, and cost more to repair.

Then you just hit him (but don't actually do it). But if he hit the wall when avoiding a marshal, then that just means he can't drive very good (especially on a track made for 8th scale cars). I have never smashed into the wall while avoiding a marshal or a car flipped over on it's lid (or a pile up), so if he crashed in that incident then he should really work on driving skills (slow means fast) so he knows what to do in that situation. Also if the marshal is good, they'll jump. lol
