Don't worry, Rob will be there. Best reserve a kit for him... lol

Boost in your 2WD buggy? I thought the general rule of thumb in the classes running 17.5 was to do without it.

When I get chance to race this is my ride. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj87/LAZERZX/Yokomo/870C/870C%20Finished/1_zps13695208.jpg http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj87/LAZERZX/Yokomo/870C/870C%20Finished/4_zpsde699c5a.jpg We only run indoors. That's a good looking buggy, love the Team Moo ...

My thoughts exactly!

They seem to be going after the M4 Suburbs. I think the Scrubs were discontinued. They said the Ions would be good on a well swept/ watered track, so I'm assuming Wolcott gets a little dusty. Talked to Erich yesterday, Brian K. has confirmed his attendance at this years VONATS! I look forward to mee...

I have a set of Proline Ions I could use, has anybody had success with them at Wolcott?

Plane tickets purchased!

Wow, no love for Tamiya on the track.... Tires make the biggest difference if you plan on putting ANY off road vehicle on a track. And this goes for Tamiya as well.

I believe Brandon Giles has stayed there. Maybe he could give a review. Restaurant is great, motel, not great. At least it's cheap. ...

Just looking at the bottom spring keepers on the shocks, I'd say they were Kyosho. Of course somebody could have swapped them out.

All this bitching is another example of how much this place has changed over the last two years :roll: Great job on the truck and have fun with it. +1 on that... Even though it was a new chassis, do with it what you want. You might give another member ideas on what to do with his USED GT. Justinspe...

Traxxas part #'s 3975 and 3975R for the motors.

Pick up an EVX2 ESC and 550 motors from a Traxxas EMaxx cheap on ebay. Run a 4S battery pack. Plenty of power and speed. Thats what I ran last year in my Clod at the Vonats. I had reservations about the setup at first, but once it hit the ground, I was very happy with it. The 550 brushed motors hold...

Erich, will this be indoor or outdoor?

When we raced the VONATS at RCHR (indoors), the track was a hard packed clay. They toned down the jumps a little to accommodate for the older cars and everything went just fine.
