Tough Decision...

[brushlessboy16]

Hey guys, come to a fork in the road... now that fall is upon us, the drag racing season is winding down.. I actually have next year before im forced to stop racing in my class and step up to full size cars. I really want to try my hand at rc racing but am not sure what direction to go

I could always get back in to drag racing next year if need be...

thanks for help in advanced

Why one or the other?

I can only say that one thing that will send your parents over the edge is jumping around from hobby to hobby, especially if they are the ones footing the bill for all your toys.

I think the most interesting RC competitive type sport to me would be crawling. There are several classes and it's growing a lot.

I'd have to agree. Start with a hustler or AX10 with the FLM chassis.

indeed it is, but i already have a decent truggy and there are alot of tracks around.. so i would probably be racing novice 1/8

Personally, I'd try and get your hands on a LMT 1940 for the truggy. It is 2 pole and will spool up faster than a neu. Also, ditch yor battery and go for a lighter one if your budget permits.

all depends.. as for the Lehner, i dont think this thing can use more power, the front tires balloon and unload already.. lighter battery is a must though..

hmmm...6s.....

what should brand though?

Today was the deciding day- I chose to race R/c for 2009.
Kind of nervous Because i have been drag racing for 5 years and the learning curve is soo steep
