The body as is, is pretty damn thin and light. I would say wheels but they are pretty light to!! The truck in general is very light. Only thing that really makes it lighter in a good way is a new motor. Stock motor is HEAVY!

how does the thunder tiger do racin against losi's and associated?


It's fine, just tune it as best you can. The driver is what counts most. IMO i don't care what any one else thinks.

Status: offline 		lol, if X was able to get into the top 3 with a "missing" shock on his truck, its some skill , hum, decision time, this will probabaly be like the only time i am able to race the truck, so is it "worth" it to get new tires, hum, i mostly run on-road for now, may make a track at a field but we will see about that , decisions decisions, how long is the average "nitro main" at the club level, 30 mins... i know qual is like, 5 mins, should check an OLD paper article....

Bottom line is this, I romp on Kyosho ST-RR's, Losi's, and Jammin's and always place second at my track if nothing goes wrong (like a shock popping off). So it can be done. The only problem is it takes more skill to drive this well. Put me in another truggy and my lap times drop a good amount.

It was the perfect truggy to get me into racing, now I am looking to upgrade to the new RC8T most likely.

Calvino, it really depends. Some tracks around me are as little as 5 minute mains because people don't want to pit. 10-15 seems to be a normal average amount, molst people do not want to be racing for 30 minutes, trust me it gets tiring.
