Theres a kid thats 11 at my local track thats a sponsered driver for Losi and he does a great job marshalling, but I guess it depends on who it is........ But if you're going to come to a race and look for advice you going to have to take some constructive criticisim, if they say you need different tires or an upgrade from the RTR version to make it better, USE IT, sometimes people come off as *****es, but it might be there way of helping, especially if it's coming from a guy that ALWAYS makes it to theA -main,I guess what I'm saying is you'll have to take some things with a grain of salt, grant it, some people I've seen throw a towel over there buggy as soon as you walk up, but most of us are willing to help out on the drop of a dime because we've all started at the bottom at one time.
