Racing
 
So heres my delema.
Im getting into racing and i have raced my gt2 once already. everyone that was at the track said i have Really good throttle control and am a great driver and they were shocked that this was my first time racing. (i won 3 out of my 4 races and won the main)
i really want to get something 4wd for racing and have run into a situiation.
i cant decide if i want to get a Losi 8ight, Losi 8ight-t, RC8, Hyper 7, or a LST.
im gunna be using ebay for my purchase to cut down on costs(im only 15).
im selling my savage and mowing lawns so that is going to help.
i can find a LST for a pretty decent price on ebay, and same with the buggies, but i just dont know wich one would be better for racing.
i like the size and stuff of the monster trucks, but i dont want to spend a fortune getting it race ready.

so if anybody can give me some input, that would be GREATLY appreciated.
thanks

most of those losi's 8 series is pretty dialed already for the track, it really is centered more around you track and driving style. if you track has big jumps, wide turns and its bumpy then the lst is probably best for you. that said if you track has tighter turns, medium jumps and long straights then a buggy would be better. you could also get a truggy or a muggy, that would be pretty well balanced for any track

Does your track not run different classes?

my track runs nitro ST, Electric ST, 1/8 Buggy, and Moster truck, and sometimes he combines MT and Truggy into one if there is a low turnout.

more input is welcome btw ;).
thanks
