Default Losi 1/10 Slider

Just picked one of these up yesterday.
Couldnt resist to stick my 9.5 lrp brushless system in it.
Ran it up and down the street today and it's so light and fast.
I did grease up the tranny last night, it didnt have any grease (thats what every else has told me) so I stuck some AE black grease on the gears. Smooth as butter.

Like it! Have liked sprint cars since I as a child fell in love with Kyoshos Sideways sprint car, pure magic.

Have been racing it for the past month every week. Many people have quit
or either taking a break from it. It's very addictive, and easier than off-road.
The track record is 80 laps, I managed to get 76 laps on a special weekend.
If your good at turning left then go for it!

The reason why some people have quit is because either they are not
good at it or they tried it and went back to off-road instead.
People will quit and others will join, Ive seen new people each week.

If you want a video of the track then here:

Oh believe me it happens all the time, one person makes a mistake and
it turns into a 7-8 car pile up and cars are flying everywhere. I even
managed to drive over top someone's car but still mantained my pace.
This type of racing isnt for hardcore off-roaders, most turn away and look
into something else.
The slash video is even worse.

I'd love to try on and off road oval racing for a laugh actually, especially if scaled right I bet it can be pretty fun racing!
