Lets not beat around the bush.

The Grandmaster will save your time

DO NOT under any circumstances run your 1/10 nitro MT in any MT class.

The Nitro Mt will last 1/2 a lap before breaking into 3-4 pieces

TRUST ME

wanna get started in racing??cheap??

but an OFNA LX Comp 1/8 buggy

it is cheap and far for durable than your MT

beware of the kool-aid

My friend 1/10 stadium trucks are the BEST. I dont care what anyone says. Get a a sweet engine and you will be super fast if you're a good driver. I race my LST and I looked at the racetimes at the last GLORCS race in london and my times are just as fast as the A-main buggy and I use the stock Mach .26 engine. Maybe like half a second off but that's super fast for a MT. I was going around with my AD2 and I was keeping up and passing some of the buggies in practice. My stadium truck is way faster than my LST. The only reason way you should get a 1/8 buggy is if you want to be in the last A-main of the weekend.

Seriously get rid of that MT and get a good stadium truck unless you like it. But if you want to race a in a big race you better get a buggy. Good handleing, good acceleration, there good for everyone.

There is no doubt that a STADIUM TRUCK can tear up a track, especially a 4wd Nitro MT. The problem is, 1 collision with a Truggie or Savage and your race is finished. Racing is a whole different breed than say just doing laps by yourself or with 1-2 other persons. The MOST important thing about racing is making sure you Finish the Race. Durability is a MUST. Flameouts will happen, servos will glitch, and batteries will die. Want to rub shoulders and compete for the lead?? than DO NOT enter a nitro MT against the Truggies or MTs, as it WILL break.

Truth be told

All races should have Stadium Truck class, MT Class, and !/8 buggy class all SEPERATE

To not is sheer laziness

The excuse "well not enough drive this type of car??" is BOGUS

I have witnessed many of people wanting stadium trucks to be told there is no where to run them.

there are 3 major classes in NITRO OFFROAD in the USA

1 1/8 Gas Buggy
2 MT Class(starting to get it right by seperating small block from big block)
3 2wd Stadium Truck

why do the Americans ALWAYS get it right???

why do Canadian Track Owners insist on doing things the Canadian way(half-ass)

LET the kids run stadium trucks in a SEPERATE CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also think there should be seperate. Tracks in Canada put the two classes together because there isn't enough of them. If you don't seperate them it will never grow. I think people don't like them because they have never actually seen a fast one driven by a good driver. They look hard to drive, well there are but once you get the hang of it WATCH OUT!!!

look at the hobby in the US and here in canada... night and day.... what leaves the hobby shop more often? mt's... y? bigger is better..... but im sure if more ppl asked for a 1/10 class and there were more than 5-6 trucks it would happen... until ppl show up whats the point? its just a waste of time to be honest.....
