Can I race my cars in todays world?
I am a newbiebut would like to try out racing with my current car(s).
Would I survive in novice races with either an HPI RS4-3 1/10 nitro or OFNA Ultra MBX Pro 1/8 nitro buggy?
Both have Airtronics/Blazer radios and are near stock.
Are these too dated or will they hold up fine with today's "race cars".
Thanks

Of course they'd hold up fine. 90% of racing is driver skill. You could give a driver a $2000 1/8 buggy that has all the latest and greatest technology, but if the person operating it has no skill, and you're a decent driver, you'd be just fine. Besides, I've heard the MBX is a great RC anyway. I don't race but thats my $0.02 anyway!

model setup and driver skill matter more than how "new/current" the model is.
picking a good suspension/tire setup and having some skill will determine how well you do.
So get them prepped, and take them to the track!
