Default Wheres the love?

Most people here like off road buggies and trucks, right? Like in the best r/c thread below, cars hasn't gotten one vote. I know that you cant jump like ten feet with cars but someone has to like them! And please don't say Im biased because I'm getting a xxx-t MF2 in May for my birthday So how many people here like sedans because I think they are a blast to drive even though they cant go off road lol. I mean they launch off like a rocket and they handle really good so I don't see why sedans aren't very popular. I'm not saying off roading isn't fun, but where's the love for cars[sm=idea.gif]

I voted for truggys cause although I don't own one I like low lying MT's. As soon as my velociti 4.5 comes and I can hook it up to my GTB and stick it in my ta05 I think I'll vote for TC's!

but wait a onroad car if u take of any "cool" jump will more than likey bottom out and you can only take it on the pavment and drive but with a stadium tuck it has the low profile of a car and then u can still take it offrading cuz with a truck you can take it off jumps and go throught mud and beat it and go in the samd and go on grass but a truck can do every thing a car can do

I love my HPI RS4 Sport 2. I run mine in the summer a lot. trucks are good for bashing and running into stuff, but with my touring car I can mess with tuning the suspension, etc. Say you change the shock oil or try a different spring or mess with sway bars-- you can actually see results! I learned a lot from messing with them

well I'm sorry but I've driven a stadium truck before and on road it's nothing like a touring car... I'll admit they are fun to take off jumps and stuff but my friend's ST feels nothing like my car. Just my 2 cents

lol I wish I could run my rc's in the school gym

Honestly, touring cars are primarily for racing. Bashing with a touring car would get pretty boring very fast. Racing is another thing altogether. I've had as much (or more) fun racing my 18th scale touring car this winter than i had all summer bashing my off road vehicles.
