I race, took first w/ MT's (e-revo) in the last local pro-series event, took 7th I think in 1/8 e-buggy. Unless your a pro, I'd give you a run for your money or take it :)

I'd agree w/ carpet racing or on-road racing (high grip), but when traction is an issue there is a point where you get too light. If you read what I said with TYPICAL setups (conversion) a few oz will not make a difference... I never said load up and get sick heavy (tank) :) GO back and re-read my statement, I stand by it.
