lol I was wondering if you were going to take that as an insult or compliment...haha
it was a compliment....I drove a few TTR's (never owned one so I fully never got the feel for it) but they seemed harder to stay within the racing line IMO. ass end always wanted to come around real easy.
I could tell if I had more experience with them I would learn the way they drove but at first they were pretty hard.
Losi was also tricky somewhat... Have to drive them like gas trucks

It seems like they do like to bring the rear end around more so then other trucks do, and I think that is what Mike has down so well is he hits the brakes diggs that front end into the dirt and hits the gas and away he go's. Where most of us are not used to that and dont really care for that way of driving.
But if you watch any video with someone that knows how to drive a kit with some skill most of the TTR kits seem to handle the rough stuff very well and have a nice level flight when going off any jumps.

thats just how i like to drive, i run all rear brake so it gets a little squirrely if i loose it on the straight and dry to check up but around the turns i think it helps me carry more corner speed; lutz also runs all rear brake on his K cars. I think the TTR handles the rough very well mainly IMO because it is a little heavier, the buggy is around 8.0 lbs not sure aobut the truck though

I didnt mean to trash the ST1 but It may have been someone else saying those words...actually I think I asked one of the guys at the track and he said garbage. Sorry if I insulted anyone, but they look nice, and the pillow-ball suspension is sweet.

Mike quick question, since all the TTR guys are going to the RC8 along with you sooner or later are there going to be any TTR reps or is the TTR stuff going to go on the back burner for the most part.
