RE: TRACKS!!!!!!!!!
make the track go around the whole outside, and then the whole inside. You don't have enough room to have grass anywhere, and you never want to have any 4-way intersections. Also, make a table top out pf plywood somewhere. You will want to coat the ramps in dirt, or else you won't be able to get any traction on them.

The VXL will still be faster. The stock t4 is one of the slowest RTR 1/10 st's on the market stock.

i don't know, my t4 is pretty fast (with the stock motor). even though i have never raced the two side by side. i may be wrong tho.
