My son and I joined a racing club and competed in our first-ever RC races this Sunday. We went with zero expectations and just wanted to learn and have fun, but we made the podium! I took 3rd place in Novice Oval and my son took 3rd place in Novice Off-Road while I got Top Qualifier in Novice Off-Road.
I drive the AMP Desert Buggy and my son drives the AMP Monster Truck. He actually started out with his black MT but it took such a beating that we had to switch to a "guest truck" that I purchased so he could have a friend over and drive with them - fortunately I brought that truck along with us, just in case.
We both agreed to drive totally stock. I have a ton of upgrades waiting in the wings, mostly that I learned of from you all, but held off on implementing any of them until after our first race day.
The only mod we did make was the tires, as the stock tires just couldn't grip anything - seemed my son was driving on ice during practice, so we put on some Hole Shots that I had mounted to Avid wheels, and they worked quite well. Super fun day. I'm implementing some upgrades now and really look forward to the next race day in a couple weeks.
