hi joss - I think the losi sct is a pretty good truck from my limited knowledge and experience as I am pretty new to short course and buggy racing having recently started.

where about are you based as there wont be as much opportunity over winter months to race outside on astro, albeit some just not as much as say the summer months

I think its more a choice of tyres too rather than the truck when racing on the different surfaces like astro, carpet or a smooth gym/hall - get this right then that's half the battle I guess

I raced for the 1st time with my sct at yorcc on Saturday and the surface in there is a mix of carpet and smooth gym floor - the tyres used were Schumacher mini spikes on the front and mini pins on the rear. For outdoors although I haven't raced outdoors as yet I have mini spikes and kourse kings

well done pal, a trophy, nice one

I raced my first ever race with my sct at yorcc on Saturday, which I bought from Alex, who, looking at the sct national results table is one of the best in the country.

blummin loved it and my best lap amount was 10 where i think Alex was on 13/14 I think, so I have work to do lol

I am hoping to compete in the nationals in 2015 too for the experience and enjoyment and to see how the big boys do it of course lol
