    TQ! That's where I go with the Awesomatix chassis, and my GF lives around the corner from TQ. These were two test platforms with the scorpion prototype motor I was testing for buddy who is the Scorpion distributor in the States. Motor should be ROAR legal by now.

    I'm on RC break after TCS nationals back in August. RC racing is too consuming. Time and money-wise. Bought my Taco the weekend before the TCS finals. :)

    You went to TQ? Maybe I've seen you there before. I used to do the club races there and won the 2015 winter series sportsman class.

    Do it! I'm just on break, not quiting. Buying the new truck just took my race budget to the back burner for a bit. Easier mentally too as I'm not having to fuss with setup all the time. Now I'm trying to figure out what tires and nonsense I want for the real car.

    Yeah, he's there often. On road is good practice for all other classes. Forces you to learn setup and reaction.
    I've done off road, I hate scrubbing tires and chassis at the end of the day. LOL. A few guys there came from the local pro classes in 1/8 nitro buggies. Lots of old school locals are there from at least 20 years back who all know each other. Some guys practically live there and have no GF's or wives.
