Slow is fast.

2wd buggy will make you a better driver.

Track time is a crucial ingredient to be a better driver.

Batteries are a bigger deal than motors.

Racing with faster guys will make you faster.

Im pretty new to TVR you could say(1 season plus a couple races) and i would say the winning or losing doesnt matter too much unless your trying to get sponsored. Its about the fun and joy of the sport. :) Starting with a lower motor anyhow helps you learn to drive better. I had a 17.5 last season in my 2WD SCT and a Castle 3800kv in my ST. I ran faster laps bcz on that tighter track, it was better to be slow :mrgreen: Now on oval it maybe matter a little more but with a bigger motor, you will probly slide up the track more.....just my take.
BTW, John, do you know which weekend you are gonna pass out the plaques? Im working again but ill take off one weekend to come and race and get it :!:

We ran indoor all winter at Xtreme with open buggy and truck. The 13.5s were just as fast as the 7.5s. It just comes down to not wrecking! If you aren't winning now, going mod isn't going to change that. Mod will allow for more diverse setups and changes you can do. As all of us are guilty at at one point or another of changing crap too much instead of adapting with what we have. I have used a boosted 13.5 and non-boosted 8.5 on the same night with little change in lap times, they just went through the track on a different pace but overall same times. Just put in laps. A lot of whining about money... I have spent a ton in the last year and not one thing I bought made me "instantly" faster or better. Going racing 2-3 times a week has me doing better. Quit typing and race boys!!!

Everyone has to come to the realization that rules don't work anymore. Kind of like Beau says, you have to police yourself and not be dumb enough to know when you are overpowered and too much power is hurting your performance, and creating a lot of wear and tear on your car.


Back in the day, you needed all the power you could get, today with brushless and lipos, you can't put all the power down, not even close. There are so many different brands and ratings of motors and batteries out there that trying to have rules is a losing battle. In my opinion......but what do I know?


Agreed.....now if this was a track with very high traction (like a carpet track), then you would have trouble. But with dirt, not gonna be that big a deal since almost all brushless systems put too much power down to start with, even the 'stock' systems, and then you are going to have traction issues.

On that point, the big risk won't be who has the hottest motor, but who has the stickiest tires (if tire choices are not limited). That is what I like about 1/8 late model. Most tracks limit you to the DLM2 or the Ofna Street tire and nothing else. Don't have to tote a big box of tires with you to a track. Only need one or two sets tops..

Those tires give decent traction, but not enough to put a large amount of horsepower down. You can be competitive running a cheap $120 engine against someone running a $600 screamer because that engine can't put the power down.

Even the electric 1/8 cars, most racers have to turn the punch control down to maintain traction...
