shark- yes i have looked into those 1/16 models. they are such engineering feats, but our club has no 1/16-18 class, and if i asked to start one, it may take a while.
our club has these exact classes: 1/10 elec stadium, MT, buggy, truggy. we mostly race dirt oval, but i am gonna try to get people to start fixing up the off road track so we can race it. i have pretty much decide on MT, as i want to bash it some too, and i preffer to stay OFF the ground

. my freind (6-7 yr exp. in rc) has said that a savage is the best (for various reasons), and suggested a tmaxx only if i didnt quite have the money for a savage. btw, you guys sound like a broken record

(no offense), and i know more than you probobly think i do (
not to say i know more, by any stretch). so, throw some opinions out there
