Too much power? - 06.23.2009, 12:22 AM

I find it kinda funny but the general consensus at my track is that my truggy has entirely too much power! The nitro guys are impressed as hell with the power and driveability but say it's to much power and even the brushless buggy guys say I have to much power! I think they're jealous! If they're is a pile up at the end of a double I can clear the double and the mess, I did it tonight! I can overshoot any jump if I want and outrun just about anyone I want as well, although I lowered my gearing and outrunning them on the straight is a bit harder now but i'm quicker on the rest of the track.

FWIW my setup is a RC-Monster converted RC8T running a Tekno Neu 1515 2.5D on 5s RC-M 4500mah lipos. 50t associated plastic spur/14t pinion

I can agree that I need to learn to drive better but I have made tons of progress since my first truggy race 4/30/09. As of tonight they have grouped all 1/8 electric into one class, so I'm now running against the buggies instead of the nitro truggies. Tonight I took 3rd after qualifying 4th against some top notch drivers.
