Default RE: Wanna race?

I agree 100%, that is why I started the 'racing options' thread. I only bought the Savage to be eligible for MT race classes. If there had been a 4wd 1:10 scale class local to me, I would never have bought another truck. Now that there is a local class where the CEN can compete, I have all but forgotten the fully optioned GS truggies I have all ready to race and am concentrating soley on getting the FF up to speed. The truggy class is booming but if CEN want to be considered a true racing marque then surely making a splash in a class traditionally dominated by only two manufacturers would be a good way to get noticed. The 1:10 truck class is huge in the States and would elevate the name quicker than being merely another fish in an already busy fishpond (truggy/buggy class). I can see the attraction of the 1:8 scale classes but I think the newly revamped 1:10 line of trucks should be given some racing pedigree. JT racing went some way to making the FF a credible option but that was years ago now, something to compliment the Magnum/Talon etc line would be a VERY welcome addition to the hop ups list.
