off road trucks get pretty expensive. check on craigslist or on ebay to see if you can find like a used one for half the price.

Word.
I remember when I used to race my 1/10 electric on-road competitively, I would often have to buy new brushes, install them, and break them in. Not to mention, I'd also have to true the comm every now and then.

these days, the IN shop is norcal hobbies in UC. they host a couple major events and have off road and on road tracks.
call them up and ask for help for your nitro.
that's why i got rid of mine. i hated the smell. hated buying glo plugs. hated that i could keep the friggin things tuned.
my 1/5 scale GAS truck runs no matter what...
my electrics... well i just have to get them charged.

I just picked up a Baja 5SC. Are you one of the guys that run at NorCal during practice days? I usually see a silver and/or white bug eye there, but never met the actual owners. I've got the wrb bugeye with orange wheels.

Well we.raced our 1/5 there once last year but it never took off so the other guys just practice there.
I normally bring my Toyota truck not my STi.
I'm waiting for the racing season for the off road to begin and maybe ill start coming out again...ill probably racing my 2 and 4wd open class SCT...

rc are great little toys. i used to race out at nor cal hobbies awhile ago when everyone was addicted to 2wd slashes. had a ton of cars from drifters, to rally cars, to micros, to onroad racers, to 1/8 brushless. i sold a bunch of my cars to save money for my wrx but i still have a e-revo but i will be selling it soon to try and get exhaust for my car. it sucks because its the best rc i have owned.
