Since you posted it, I've been watching this video regularly. After a 30-year break from racing, the Traxxas Mudboss (modified) reignited my passion for racing and the RC hobby. I finally took the plunge and purchased one yesterday. Luckily, there's a race for newcomers at my local track this July 4th holiday weekend. Your helpful tips have been invaluable, as getting back into the hobby after such a long absence can be daunting. Thank you for this, and please keep these videos coming.
Bottom line is a seasoned racer should be able to drive the car with the stock radio,I’ve been in this hobby since the early 90’s,if you can drive then you adapt by hand ….
Interesting deep dive into the class. Can see the transmitter aspect of the individual driver set up being a sticking point. The sound of the tyres, love it.
I had a good think about it and I believe it is a good idea to keep the stock radio to keep expert racers out. I think it actually is a good deterrent because many of them are seemingly allergic to a standard radio. Sponsorships notwithstanding. Think about how most spec classes get ruined. They get big when hobbyists are doing it. They get killed when the experts come in and do what experts do. Crush. -U10
I feel like this chassis spec will become the standard in a couple of years, pushing out the old, high-CG cars. What happens then? Will there still be a box-stock, super-affordable class? I sure hope so. I'm OK with allowing some additional tuning, but only if it's super affordable, and it doesn't do anything to discourage new racers. Racers, by their nature, will push for changes that reduce participation (competition), so it's up to the promoter to stand firm, and keep the class appealing to the greatest number of folks possible.
how hot is the motor after a bunch of laps ? heavy vehicle for 1/10 but also new bl-2s system. curious cause 3300-3500k not much of a difference maybe, or 2s lipo always safe te,mps?
I definitely don't agree with some of these new rules. I feel like transmitters should be optional not restricted to the stock TQ. At least allow binding to a TQi so people who want the settings can get them. All you said basically was that the settings weren't needed so the transmitter was locked down in the rule set to the TQ. If they aren't needed, then you should at least allow different transmitters. Let the people who want to tinker, tinker. If the difference is so little, there's no reason to restrict it.

Nice to know excellent content!!!💯
As close to box stock the better…servo seems fine as long as it’s uniform. There’s enough classes for people that want to outspend each other

You speak the truth. Well said.

Temps haven’t been bad at all. Gearing up adds a couple of degrees. It’s one of the most impressive things about this system.
Are racers able to add a wing? Like to the front hood? Plz dont roast me.
lol. It’s not allowed. Sorry.
